The last couple days have been fairly slow so we weren’t quite sure what to expect as we left the dock last night. To make things more challenging the previous day’s weather was a bit unruly. Fortunately our ride out to the grounds was fairly mild as were conditions at first light. We started out about [...]

Day two proved to be a slow one for the fleet as well. Our morning was very slow with only a few single jig strikes for our efforts. Fortunately, in the afternoon we strung together a few stops including one for 11 which got everyone’s blood pumping. By days end we had 19 Albacore and [...]

We began our day about 80 miles from San Diego and continued working to the south most of the morning. The AM hours were fairly slow with a couple Albacore jig strikes and some kelp Yellowtail to keep us on our toes. By lunch time we were approaching 100 miles and more than ready for some [...]

We caught very little in terms of squid last night, due in large part to the sea lions. Based on the excellent fishing we had yesterday morning, we decided to spend the morning near China Point. We got the anchor down at first light and had the boats in the water in short order. Again, [...]

Mention kayak fishing to the average angler and the response you get is fairly predictable: “Why don’t you fork out the extra bucks and get a motor,” or “why would I leave the comfort and safety of a perfectly good 85 footer to sit in a wet seat all day.” True, these are all valid [...]

Day two was slow like day one. We covered a ton of water around our local banks for only a couple Yellowtail. Eventually we made it up to the Coronado Islands where we finished of with a few bass as well as some bottom dwellers. The highlight of the day was the massive school of [...]

Eearly season Albacore trips are unique in that the potential for glory is at a maximum. With scant sightings of fish and small catches being made here or there it’s every angler’s (and captain’s) dream that their trip will be the one that connects. That was definitely the case on this trip as we left [...]

Various groups came together to provide these children with the opportunity to experience a sportfishing trip replete with all the sounds, movements and sensory experiences common to [...]

For our last day, we looked around the island for any sign of Yellowtail but came up empty handed. We made one last anchor job for some Calico Bass and then began the trek toward home. Our weather was a bit choppy for the first part of the stretch but gradually subsided and made for [...]

After making a fair amount of squid at the island we motored down below the breakers for some arly morning rock cod fishing. This is a productive area that allows for some very long drifts. On each drift we picked away at Reds, Lingcod and other assorted rockfish. We devoted a bit of time to [...]
