Hello Anglers,

Last night we had a little go around on the yellowtail after dinner and they were in the 20 to 30 pound class. It was pretty short lived but it was very welcome and we ended up with 22 of them. In the morning we started where we fished yesterday at the island and we had steady fishing until 1430 and ended up with a very nice start to our day. We left that area to go and search for a couple of bigger tuna or yellowtail and saw a good sign of fish but we only picked up 14 more tuna 25 to 35 pounds which was the same size that we caught in the morning and just one yellowtail for our efforts.Tonight we are going to be traveling east to an area that has had a few bluefin in it so wish us luck. The picture that I am sending is of Jim Provensal and a stock size yellowfin he caught on a fly lined sardine. Reported by: Shawn Steward

Hello Anglers,

Last night we put the sea anchor out and we woke up with a very eager school of albacore. We started to catch fish in the dark and sat on the sea anchor until 0900 when we got what we needed for the trip. The weather was very cooperative today and we spent the rest of the day looking for yellowtail and we struck out on the bluefin unfortunately. The yellowtail fishing was tough on the kelps but we...... Read More
