The EL CAPITAN returned from a 1.5 day trip this morning with 17 Anglers catching 81 Yellowtail, 3 Bluefin Tuna and 1 Dorado. Weather was up but Capt. Alan was on the prowl and made a count out of tough conditions. The fish are still around its all about timing, Weather and being prepared.

The MISSION BELLE is still chasing down Yellowtail with good fishing on the Bigger model fish in the 15-30lb range. Fish are being caught on fly-lined sardines, surface irons and yo-yo jigs. We advise 30lb test line and 2/0 hooks.

The DAILY DOUBLE has been targeting rockfish and bass and has been doing pretty good. Plenty of open spaces on either of the two daily trips.    

* BLUEFIN TACKLE ADVISORY* AS OF LATE THE GRADE OF FISH IS 30-70LBS WITH FISH WELL OVER 100LBS.

WE ADVISE 2/0-5/0 HOOKS AND AT LEAST 0NE 40-60LB RIG. FLUOROCARBON IS ALSO VERY HELPFUL WITH 2 SPEED REELS BEING YOUR BEST ADVANTAGE.

*TRIPS UNDER 3 DAYS IN LENGTH DO NOT REQUIRE PASSPORTS*

*IF YOUR TRIP FISHES IN MEXICO, PHOTO I.D. REQUIRED FOR ALL PASSENGERS OF ALL AGES*

They were looking at a mixed grade of 40-70lb tuna with 100+lbers jumping off in the distance. These fish seemed to respond well and wanted to bite however the anglers were not prepared with heavy line and rigs to battle these monsters.
