2 Day International Star Report

Just returned from our 2 day trip on the International Star. We headed west toward the Cortez Bank and the albacore. The anglers who did their time on the troll and the ones who got their bait in the waters first were rewarded with fish. In the morning the hot troll jig was a Zuker Redhead with Black feathers and later it was the Mexican Flag Zuker. 25lb & 30lb test gear was the right setup. Fish were lost by anglers using less then 25lb. The weather was rough but the ones who stuck it out all got fish and a few got their limit of nice 25lb to 38lb albacore. The second day we were on the coast below Rosarito out of the rough seas and in nice calm waters. The morning was spent catching calicos and a few yellowtails, bonitos and barracudas. The afternoon we went offshore to look for kelp paddies. The trip ended with 1 bluefin tuna, 49 albacore, 10 yellowtail, 70 calico bass and 10 bonitos. Jackpot went to Maria M. the only girl on the boat with a nice 38lb. albacore. Thanks to Captin Mike and the crew for working so hard to make a great trip.

Gail Force Fishing Report

Had a great time fishing on the Gail Force with Captin Ryan at Catalina Isl.
Fishing west to east from Emerald Bay It was limits of calico bass fishing on live squid and the anchovies colored MM5 for anyone who wanted it and the bonito were everywhere caught on small jigs and anchovies. Congratulations to Paul Hall who beat out all the guys for the jackpot with his bonito.

Upcoming Gail Force Trip

We should be going to Catalina Isl. for yellowtail, great calico bass and bonito fishing. Light line is the tackle of the day, 12lb. to 20lb. gear but be sure you have a outfit of 25lb. or 30lb. in case the yellows get hot and heavy. Bait is anchovy and sardine so you should have hooks of #2 to #4/0 live bait hooks. Don't forget your favorite irons to throw, MM2 & MM7 and the leadhead rubbers should work on the calicos.

We still have some openings Tues. 08/07, so if you would like to join us go to our Fishing Trips pageor call 562-221-1278

Freelance Fishing report

A late fishing report on our freelance trip on 07/20/07. Captin Damon decided to go south to San Onofre where the barracuda bite was good. On our third move we found the fish that wanted to bite. It was all the barracuda you could land and if you could get below the barracuda you could get nice sandbass.It was beautiful overcast weather and a great crew made for a great day of fishing.
