Topgun 80 fishing report

After taking on 250 scoops of prime sardines we settled in for a 19 hour ride and headed for Guadalupe Island, Mexico. Our first stop at the Island was at Outer Rock. It was a bit windy and not the best fishing conditions so Captain Bob Taft moved the boat about 8 miles north where we anchored for the night. Here we started with a small flurry of school size yellowfin tuna and for those who went to the bottom, good fishing for yellowtail. Night fishing for bait found us in good squid catching. For those who fished into the night and wee hours of the morning caught a few yellowtails and one 86lb. black sea bass. For the next 2 ½ days it was an early morning and early evening bite for the big tuna. The biggest fish came via kite fishing and squid. Also the balloon and sardine did well. Overall the fishing was fair considering the wind. Bob kept the boat moving from spot to spot giving us the best shot for catching fish. Scottie, Squeak and Shooter kept everyone out of tangles and made sure that every fish hooked got on to the boat and Sara kept everyone happy with the best meals and snacks. Jackpot: 1st Wally -127lb. tuna, 2nd Rebecca - 124lb. tuna, HM: Charlie - 86lb black sea bass, Scottie - 42lb. yellowtail.
