Fish Report for Ranger 85 Trip

25 anglers and the crew ventured off to the Channel Isl. from Oxnard Sportfishing on Sat. night for our second to last charters of the year. In the morning we found ourselves fishing at Santa Rosa Isl. and not at San Miguel the preferred isl. because of the strong breeze. We moved from spot to spot catching a verity of rockfish but not the quality you usually get. The last half of the trip we moved to Santa Cruz Isl. And started catching the nicer size rockfish, reds, whitefish and lingcods. A big thanks to Captain Frank and his crew for a great trip. The Ranger 85 will be running regular island trips to the end of the year so join the Ranger 85 for a great fishing experience.

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.

Trip reminder and fishing

I think I communicated with everyone about the change of dates on the Electra charter from Aug.28 to Sept. 12 and the boat we will be on now is the Oceanside 95. If I missed you take note.
Fishing:
Looks like the San Diego boats have found new fish and all species of tuna are biting, a week too late for us. Also the LA boats going to Cortez Bank are getting tuna so I will be going on the Westerly out of Pierpoint Landing leaving on Sept. 4 for a 1&1/2 day trip. They also have a trip leaving on Sept. 12 for the same destination for $250.00 Fro more info call me at 562-221-1278

Great Time in Ensanada

Had a great trip on the Azteca Too in Enasnada fishing Todo Santos Isl. for big bonito and yellowtail.

Fisherman lll Report

Wed. we had our charter on the Fisherman lll at H&M Landing, San Diego. The fishing was good all day but the seals made it tough eating our baits and some hooked fish but we still managed to get 90 big bonitos, 6 yellowtails and some calico bass.

Catching Up On Fish Reports

First we had a weekend in Ensanada, Baja Mexico fishing on the Azteca Too. The fishing was great catching yellowtail, big bonitos, barracuda, calico bass and rockfish. Most of the fish was caught at Isl. Todo Santos, Trolling the hard baits and throwing the Magic Metals. Everyone had a great time. The Azteca Too is a beautiful modern boat.
