Went out on Labor Day for another attempt at Blue Fin on the Dominator out of Point Loma. It was my first time fishing at one of the big three landings down in SD and it was all I expected it to be...except the fishing.
We left the dock at 9:15PM and went 85 miles south. The trollers were deployed at 6AM under a heavy overcasted sky and bumpby sea. We spotted our first paddy and it was yellowtails galore. I landed two rat yellowtails and lost a few due to people not following their lines. After that paddy we continue our search until the next paddy with the same story. And unfortunately that was also the story of the day...rats,,, rats...and more rats.
I came home with my limit of yellowtails and no blue under my belt. The count for our boat is 114 yellowtails for 26 anglers. The count for most of the overnighters were the same too...just yellowtails. The blues were elusive to us on this trip.
I still had a great time. The boat and crew were good. I would definitely go back out with them again.

The nice view on our way in.
