Do yourself a favor and drive the extra few miles to San Diego...
An overnight there can get you on some great fishing right now...

Check the fish counts for the boats and pick one....

Definitely hit up SD. HM Landing or Seaforth. Just about all of the boats are good. What happenned to your trip on the 17th?

I thought this looked familiar. Are you talking about the same trip aboard the Seahorse?

Expect to pay $160 and up on overnight trips outta San Diego depending on what landing and boat you go on. Keep in mind if your going out of San Diego you WILL be that much more closer to the tuna grounds.

SD trips are expensive, but if I were to spend money on a offshore trip right now I would definately go down to SD. Keep in mind that on top of your ticket cost you will have to pay for Galley tab, fish cleaning, mexican permits, tips, jackpot....a $160 trip can easily turn into $300+

I think your missing the point. The Seahorse is a good boat and crew. The captain will work hard to get you on the fish.

HOWEVER. Given where the MAIN body of tuna have been they are in much closer range from the boats out of San Diego. Driving down the extra 60 miles to San Diego would increase your chances of catching a tuna but it would still NOT guarantee catching a tuna.

Overnight boats don't have much range. This means that they can only get so far from the harbor because of time constraints. SD has more fertile tuna ground than does DP and they're closer. You can spend $135 and have a low chance at a good bite or you can dish out $200 and have a much better chance at a good bite. I'm so sick of the hit or miss overnight boats that the shortest trips I go on now are 1.5 days. Yes, you will also probably have to pay for food, drinks, tip(optional, but very much recommended), cleaning(optional), and JP(optional).

According to their fish counts for yesterday's overnight trip. 23 anglers, 6 yellowfin, 50 skipjack.

No one ever know what's biting FOR SURE, but there have been lots of YFT, yellowtai, and dodos. Skips are all you want. The temps are dropping quickly, so you better pull the trigger quick.

BTW, 40-80 OUT, not in:Cool:

Also don't get pissed if you don't get anything! It happens, I'm out $485 on two trips so far and all I got was a pleasure cruise!! I went on the sea horse 2 mos ago when they first ran down south looking for albacore. There were fish caught but not for everyone, so anyhow keep that in mind! The saying that pisses me of the most only because its so true...." Thats why they call it fishing and not Catching!"

Seahorse was cool though. Not the biggest fanciest boat but I'm not a glamour fisherman. Crew and capt. worked very hard.

You may want to give Seaforth a look as well. Great captain's and crew. Sometimes it can be a little cheaper but much better parking then the big 3.

"That's why they call it fishing and not catching"...so true...I can't count how many day's I've come home with the big white strip down my back. And I keep reminding myself, "I got outsmarted by a dumb fish". LOL

But it's also those trips that drive me to get back out there to redeem myself...at least hopefully :ROFL:

I know what you mean. After my 1.5 day skunk I recentlly recieved, all I could think of was your picture of the empty ice chest report!
