Ranger 85 November 2010

Fishing San Nicolas Island in beautiful weather on the Ranger 85 we caught Nice rockfish, lingcods and even had a shot at some yellowtails.

Winter B-52 Rig

January and Febuary we are fishing for sandbass and sculpin. A great rig to use here is a dropper-loop rig with the the bait leader longer then the sinker leader and a 1/2 oz. B-52 tied on to the bait leader.

Another Record Tuna




The Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, Japan sells a bluefin tuna for $396,000 a new record for the sale of a blufin tuna. The tuna weighed in at 754 lbs. and sold for $526.00 per pound. Now that makes me appreciate the bluefin we catch during the spring and summer seasons, makes those high price offshore trips seem less expensive. I love to tuna fish anyway.
