Yesterday was a totally different day across the board through out the fleet. Better weather and great sign of fish still here and ready to play. We had a few boats return this morning. The EL DORADO had 32 anglers catch 29 Bluefin Tuna to 65lbs, 14 Yellowtail, 18 Dorado, 1 Skipjack Tuna and 1 Mako Shark.

The NEW LO-AN returned with their 33 anglers catching 71 Bluefin Tuna, 9 Yellowfin Tuna, 3 Dorado and 25 Yellowtail. Capt. John reports great weather and lots of fun to be had.

The fishing season is not over yet. As we transition from Summer to Fall, we are still amazed at the volume, size and aggressiveness of these Bluefin Tuna. We are still seeing great numbers of Dorado and Yellowtail and we are still awaiting the explosion of these Yellowfin Tuna. DON'T START BREAKING DOWN THE TACKLE JUST YET!!!

*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. 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.
