Overnighter on the New Lo An 7/11-12/09

[NY4Reels!]

Tom, Fernie and I went out of Point Loma Sport Fishing on the New Lo An. We left Saturday night at 10PM and returned Sunday at 8PM after trolling and paddy hopping allll day long.

It turned out to be a bust. We had high hopes at first after hearing and reading about how close the Albacore and blue fin were. It seems like all the game fish took the weekend off as well.

21 people caught:
2 Albacore
2 YT
1 blue fin
1 Dorado

The 2 albacore came on a double jig strike at 6:30AM. One turned out to be Fernies.

The 2 yellows came off different paddies and we probably hit 10 of them

That was it folks. Save your cash and wait until the end of the month or August

Good going man. I know it was a long boat ride but where else can you get away from reality for a day and enjoy the ocean?

Two out of the three trips this month for me have been long boat rides but we still keep coming back for more.

You are right. It will be game on at the end of this month!

I disagree, good time to get out there and take a chance @ those early season tunas... Just get on a 1.5 or 2.5 trip. Seems to be an afternoon bite. 1.5 and up trips have been doing well most days.

Thanks for the report and neat pictures:Big Grin:. You will get um in August when it really gets hot(the bite) out there.

Nice try man. That boat kicks butt. Sucks about the slow fishing but anyday now... Thanks for the report.
