A week of polar opposite weather and catches. Some days flat calm and some hateful rough. Some days the mahi and tuna were big and hungry, others days, finicky or  smaller. Can't complain too much, decent yellowfin fishing in late August is very welcomed. The mahi are showing stronger and stronger. The crew from the 4th found out just what happens when a monster mahi (58#) comes out of the blue...

Fishing over the last two weeks has been pretty darn good despite the weather and the brush of the first hurricane of the season.  Tilefish continues to be epic and still seeing a few yellowfin too. Mahi are getting stronger every week and those toothy wahoo keep missing our baits after rocketing out of the water on several different bites.

More tilefish, wind and a few too many the night before.  Spent the last week battling wind, sporty seas and a couple crews who really wished they hadn't spent so much time at the bar the night before our trips. Tilefish bite remains strong while the nearshore black sea bass bite is enough to provide some relief to a couple hung-over crews. Was able to enjoy seeing a 11 year old slam some sea...

Lots of wind this past week found us sitting at the dock too many days. On the days we could get out the tuna action was day to day while the tilefish bite remains outstanding. Spent a little time looking under some deep gear for mahi but didn't find any. Fished some bottom 18 miles off the beach one day after a crazy NW winds blew-up 45 minutes after we hit the canyon forcing us back inside. The...

Tuna, Tiles & Wind. A decent trolling bite continues with most trips seeing some tuna action and one lucky crew spending nearly an hour doing battle with a 112", 400# blue marlin released after pics next to the boat. Tilefish action continues to be awesome but afternoon winds and current seem to be conspiring against us some days.

Yellowfin Action continues to be good both in the canyons and at the 30 fathom chunking hill. Starting to see one or two white marlin on most canyon trips as well as an encounter with a 300-350# blue marlin that only lasted for about a minute before the fish threw the hook. Mahi starting to trickle in and our first wahoo bite of the season left us with a bare line after those teeth took one of my...

Tuna fishing continues with the addition of a couple "Greenstick" fish and some "Chunking" fish too.  One stud yellowfin tipped the scales @ 93# and was landed on 40 lb. leader! No big impressive catches for us, we're just plugging away trying to put fish in the box on a daily basis. The new combo trips are a big hit this season and the tilefish continue to impress everyone with size and...

Our tuna have been a little lacking over the last couple trips. One thing that isn't lacking is this darn wind which has caused some dates to be rescheduled.  Seems the large biomass of yellowfin is fading, looking for a new push of fish to show with some of this wind. While the catches have been lees than spectacular I'm just happy to see fish in the box. Some dang good boats have been getting...

Tuna fishing continues to be good but spotty. Tilefish bite is outstanding with some very respectable double digit bluelines going in the box. Our combo trip allows crews to experience both. Blow-days are salvageable with some 175-300 lb sand tiger sharks for crews that are interested. Some turn up their noses but the flexible crews find out that most single anglers can't start and finish one of...
