Emeryville Fishing Report

Just returned from fishing on the New Huck Finn and the New Salmon Queen out of Emeryville Sportfishing. The first day we fished the Farallon Isl. for limits on rockfish up to 5lb. and some lingcods and salmon groupers. The weather was warn and the ocean was flat and Captain Jay and Dave took good care of everyone. Then on sunday we fished the New Salmon Queen. Fishing a little further north then the day before we caught nice lingcods from 12lb. to 20lb and limits of rockfish to 8lbs. We were also treated to a great show from some humpback whales. Thanks to Captian Shim and Tony.

Electra 9.20 Report

Sunday just finished the 3/4 day trip on the Electra. beautiful day with no breeze and flat calm waters. We headed south to the kelps off Del Mar where we stopped to fish some bonitos but they wouldn't bite so into the kelp we fished for the calicos. It was a steedy slow pick on the fish with sandbass, calicos some rockfish and sheephead. All in all a slow day but everyone caught something and had fun. Jackpot her first to Marina bested everyone with a nice sheephead.

Dolphin 2 fish report

Just finished the Dolphin 2 trip out of Mission Bay Sportfishing, San Diego. We started the morning abour 75 miles south of San Diego trolling and looking for kelp paddies. Most of the paddies held dorados, yellowtails and some tunas but basicly it was wide open fishing with a lot of fish lost of tangles, chewed off hooks and broken lines but in the end everyone had limits of dorado to 25lbs. Yellowfin tunas to 20lbs. yellowtails and a lone 40lb. albacore. Thanks to Captain Greg and his crew for a great trip.

This weeks Trips

This week we have a tuna trip on the Dolphin 2 on Sept. 17 with a few spots open and a ¾ day trip on the Electra out of Oceanside on Sept. 20 with lots of open spots so now is a good time to join us for some fishing and some fun.

Plenty of space on the Sept. 20 Electra trip

We have plenty of room on our 3/4 day trip on the Electra. Could be fishing for bass or perhaps for some kelp paddie dorados and tuna. Great trip for kids.

Electra Fishing Report

On the Electra we headed south looking for kelp paddies. Started the morning trolling for tuna and the first jig strike produced a small skipjack, well that was a start. The first paddie saw some wild fishing for 4 dorado and a yellowfin but many more were lost to tangles and chewed through line. Throughout the morning we checked out paddies to end with 1 yellowfin, 1 skipjack and 13 dorado. Even though the count seems low we lost as many fish. Also saw 2 sword fish during the day, no dought they were after the dorado as we were. All in all a great day with beautiful weather and calm seas a great crew and great anglers. Check later for photos.

Local Tuna on the Freelance

I had to try for the local tuna so on fri. I jumped on the Freelance at Davey's Locker. After getting bait we headed for the area around the 43 Bank. No trolling fish but the first kelp paddey we hit produced 5 dorado. After that it was a yellowtail one one paddy the some dorado on another and so that's the way the day went.

Local Yellowfin Tuna

3/4 day boats out on Mission Bay and Seaforth are getting yellowfin tuna and they maybe moving up the line to LA waters.
