Above yesterday's results our marginally successful morning extended beyond the first and only hour. Aside from one mid morning excursion for zero we remained busy working on something throughout the day. Not that such effort translated into significant, collective quantity in the hatch, a number of anglers were left out of the victory circle, but we did place one and all in the position to succeed time and again.

The opportunity today included a number of mouth watering spectacles where vast schools of bluefin responded agressively to our liberally broadcast offerings, these sights alone motivated everyone to fish as hard as they ever have, yet still most were left dressed and waiting when all was said and done. This is the bluefin fishing that most of us know as common, and has been but for a handful or two of days this entire season. It really is what makes big production on the bastards so magically satifying. For every day we see and catch bluefin tuna there are at least five that we don't, perhaps even more.

In the positive I can say that today's results, or lack thereof, made for an easy decision to seek greener pastures down below; time to go long range fishing. The rapidly subsiding southerly storm soon makes way for a variety sojurn down the coast. Offshore calls at least one more day however to provide ample time for the waning tempest to sputter through it's final death throes. Then, and only then, we will venture beyond the safe haven of the northern zone.

9/7/14 We started off on the right track; a nice morning hit on 30 - 40 pound yellowfin with one fat albacore set what appeared to be the correct tone early, then we cratered. A long, mid morning lull of waiting while mapping out the promising afternoon zones resulted in proper placement when the fish did indeed show, but nothing other that a lot of drifting with tons of not biting fish around us became of it. Frustrating in every sense...... Read More

9/7/14 Mucho fish so the reports from the outside go; getting them to bite is another story. Lock jaw is the theme we hear of upon departure. But our strategy, set in motion by the unwelcoming Hurricane Norbert steaming up the line, is presently one from which we can not deviate. To the west, offshore we go destined to make the most of whatever opportunities we find. No shortage of fish, in fact the exact opposite, gives reason for us to...... Read More
