Big Hungry

The New Lo-An is leaving Monday Sept. 23rd and Thurs. the 26th for overnights. Cost is $245 a person and includes Mesxican permits.

Midweek 1.5 days on the El Capitan and El Dorado are booking quickly. Departing Tues 9-24 the El Capitan only has a few spots left. Cost is $385.00 and is a limted load of 18 passengers! The El Dorado leaving Wed 9-25 is filling rapidly as well. $340.00 a person with a max of 32.

3/4 day boat Mission Belle is still going offshore to paddy hop and troll. Trips depart every morning at 6:00AM. Limited to 38 passengers and with a price of only $130.00 these trips fill quick and are a great way to chase some yellowtail, dorado and tuna.

The Point Loma is still scheduled for a few Ultra Limited 20 passenger offshore tuna trips. Cost is $140.00 per person and does not take discounts of any kind.

Half day trips on the Daily Double are running 8am-3pm Monday Through Friday. Twice a day on the weekends with morning runs departing at 6:30am and afternoon trips gone from the dock at 1:00pm

 *BLUEFIN TUNA TACKLE*

 On these schools of tuna, DO NOT BOTHER WITH LINE LIGHTER THAN 30LB TEST. You want to have at least one rig with 50-60lb line and it wouldn't hurt to maybe have an 80lb rig. Hooks can be 2/0-5/0 and paired with fluorocarbon will be your best bet at landing these not so gentle giants. 2 speed reels can make a world of difference. If your trip is overnight or longer, plan tackle accordingly.  

 *YELLOWFIN TUNA TACKLE* These Yellowfin have been mixed size from 12-45lbs. They are pretty eager to bite the 30-40lb line. 2/0-3/0 hooks, fluorocarbon and reels with smooth drag are all you need. These fish are not quite as capable of destroying tackle like these Bluefin we have been fishing. Yellowfin are also no stranger to surface plugs or yo-yo jigs.
