September starts off right!!!

9-1-2013
Big Hungry

This morning we had the "EL DORADO" return from there first run of the year out of Point Loma with 31 anglers catching 31 Yellowtail, 38 Bluefin Tuna and 3 Dorado.

We also had the HI-COUNT return with 4 anglers catching 20 Bluefin Tuna (Limits) and 11 of these fish were 70lbers!!!! Capt. Jason reports flat, grease-calm weather. The HI-COUNT still has dates available for the month of September. They will also be offering SWORDFISHING trips starting this month.

We are seeing fish from 40-100+lbs. WE ADVISE, at least one rig with 50-60lb line, assorted 2/0, 3/0 and 4/0 hooks and minimum of 40lb Fluorocarbon. 2 speed reels can be the difference between losing and landing one of these giants. DO NOT bother with anything lighter than 30lb line.

The MISSION BELLE had a fantastic week of Yellowtail fishing at the Coronado Islands. Fish were mostly 15-30lbs and were taken on surface irons, fly-lined sardines and there was even opportunity for the yo-yo jig guys. They also had some good bottom fishing to round things out.

DAILY DOUBLE goes back to Winter Schedule after this weekend. Trips will be 1 a day from 8:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. They have been targeting Bass, rockfish and assorted bottom dwellers.

*ADVICE & FAQ's*

If your trip is under 3 days in length, PASSPORTS are not required.

If your trip fishes in MEXICO, PHOTO I.D. Required for all passengers, of all ages.

If your trip is OVERNIGHT OR LONGER, be ready for those big Bluefin Tuna as we have seen multiple 100+lbers in 1 to 1.5 day range on multiple boats this year.

NO COOLERS or ICE CHEST of any kind or size, NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL and NO GLASS BOTTLES on any Vessel in our Fleet.

Trips are Filling up fast, especially on the weekends, so book now. DO NOT WAIT TO SEE THE FISH COUNTS to book a trip. Lately, people wait, the counts come in and the trips sell out before you have a chance to reserve a spot.

Watch for Openings on our newest addition to the Tuna Fleet here aboard the "EL DORADO"
