25 miles out

[webmaster]

Well I havent been fishing in what seems like forever but after seeing all the reports of tuna and dorado I just couldnt take it any longer. Me and my girl went out of Mission Bay on tuesday. Got a half scoop of very beat up looking sardines and headed out to the 182 bank.

Saw a bunch of these at 10 miles but no sign of any tuna:

Continued on until about 1/4 mile from the 182 and found a small paddy and caught one small dorado. Another boater came in and got one as well, then it was dead.

The other boater continued on and I saw him stop about 500 yards away. I went over to investigate and he was on a good sized paddy with dorado jumping everywhere. I joined in and it was wide open for about an hour. I started letting them go after the third one and only kept deep-hooked ones after that. Ended up keeping 7 before I almost ran out of bait.

I decided to keep my last few live baits and look for some tuna. I trolled around for a few hours and found no sign of anything else. Headed back in and found a small paddy at 18 miles. I had one last sardine left with a little wiggle to it so I dropped it in and nailed one more bull dorado, released. There were a few more there but they didnt want anything dead.

Fun Day, it felt good to get out again. Hopefully I'll have more reports soon!

Nice Banana! so much for jinx with the Banana thing... sweet.

Speak for yourselves.

Nice job out there dude.

[webmaster]

Thanks All. As you can see I dont believe in the banana thing.

Hey TO, you remember the tuna? Yeah, I wish I would have gotten into them like I did two years ago. That was sweet. Gas was a lot cheaper back then though. This trip cost me $100 just to go out 25 miles! It will probably be a while before I can afford to go again. If anybody wants to join me and split the cost it may be a possibility. My boat is small though - balls required!

[olfishergal]

Balls is riding on Bruce Watson's tin can out there.........:ROFL: I think I grew a couple this summer.....unfortunately they landed on my chest......:EyePop:
The Salt is great, I will go with anyone who is nice enough to ask me. p.s. I pay my share....
