Whte Seabass

After our latest visit to Monterey Bay and seeing all the 50 and 60 lb. fish we are heading up the coast with the Skeeter and try our skill or luck at catching them. In the Bay they fish the seabass different then we do down here. You look for the squid areas then drift with light line 20lb. test with a 3/8oz. sliding sinker above a swivel and a 6ft. leader to a size 2 hook and a trap hook 6in. below that for the squid. Well try that and also our So. Cal. methods, B52 bucktail jigs and MM2 iron tipped with squid.

Santa Cruiz Cobras

Watching Barrett-Jackson auto auction from Las Vagas and remindes me of what we saw on the Santa Cruiz pier.

Emmeryville

Another great trip on the New Huck Finn and the New Salmon Queen in Emeryville. We fished up on the Marin coast in the morning for rockfish. On the New salmon Queen we fished on the beach in 20ft of water and ended with 6 legal halibuts. In the late morning we moved to the Farllon Islands to get our limits of nice rockfish and a few lingcods. The weather was fogy but the ocean was nice.

Tuna Limits

Some baots are reporting limits on yellowfin tuna for their anglers. Come join us on a 1 1/2 day trip on the Indian fishing on Sept. 23rd. Super light load.

Report from Chris Randel, Indian

Chris called in to report on his last couple of days on the tuna grounds. Lots of fish being metered and hooked but the fleet had a lot of trouble with the privet boaters from the Make A Wish Tuna Tournment jumping onto the boats fish and fishing close enough to the boat to actually get into tangles with hooked fish. Chris was discusted with the last couple of days. But now the tournment is over fishing should pick right back up. The fish are getting a little bit bigger to 50lbs and more schools being metered. If you want to fish with a light load on the Indian come join us on leavinf on Sept. 22, fishing on the 23rd., and returning in the am on the 24th. a 1 1/2 day trip, $280.00. If we get 8 anglers we will go.

Dolphin 2 Fishing report

Just finished a good trip for tuna fishing on the Dolphin 2. As catching goes it all depended on the school of fish we stoped on. Captian Greg would give us the play by play on what the fisn were doing on the sonar. Some fish would stay deep while others would just swim away. We were looking for the school that would stick with the boat and want to play. Our first stop was on a school that was only a pick for 2 hours a fish or two every 15 minutes all bluefin tuna. Then after that it was 1 or 2 tunas on each metered school. We had many lost fish due to pllled hooks and tangles. Dan even lost a troll fish due to somebody cutting his line with their line. By the end of the trip most everyone had a tuna and some with more then one. Dan and I got the triple on the tunas a bluefin, yellowfin and a albacore.

Tuna update

Good tuna fishing, even the overnight boats are getting a few tuna. Nice size on the yellowfin up to 45lbs. but you might need some light line to get a consistant bite. Bring some florocarbon line in 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40lb test to use as leader on your 25 to 40lb test main line.

Dolphin 2 trip is a GO

Our upcoming trip on the Dolphin 2 is a go with 9 anglers. Now is the best chance in getting some tuna in the last few weeks. Join us for this 1 1/2 day trip. http://www.dansshoppingcart.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=dansshoppingcart&Product_Code=FT_Charter_68&Category_Code=FT
