Tuna - Dana Landing

[RL-IN-OC]

Six of us charted the Impulse out of Dana Landing, San Diego. A 5am to 5pm trip. We heard Coronado was a little slow, so we decided to go out around 40 miles or so to the reef. Morning was a little slow, tried to follow the birds and whales. Found small schools of Yellow Fin, not really cooperating. Lots of fish boiling, even a couple of marlin. Afternoon bite started to pick up, even had 3 YF on at one time, twice. Ended up the day with 22 YF from 10-15 lbs. All in all, a good day! The Captain of the Impulse, Keith, and Harry, worked very hard for us. One of the best crews, I have fished with. If you are looking for a charter for a small group, I would highly recommend the Impulse. Its a 42 footer that got some giddyup, 20+ knots, bunks, the whole works. Great food and cold beer. Till next time....

RL-IN-OC,

Thanks for the report.

I'd say a 5-5 trip producing 22 YFT is a great trip :) . It's nice to see some YFT being caught, and looks like you all had a great time.

hey thanks for the report! those are tight lookn little yellowfins! did you guys go for the marlin at all? hows was the ride out there? Also if you dont mind how much does a private charter like that run?

[RL-IN-OC]

Hi CPR, not at all, the cost of the 5-5 was $1,650, 275 per. Sounds pricey, but, this includes everything but gratuity. Gear, breakfast, lunch, beer and soda. Better yet, he's not a clock watcher, we rolled into the barn about 6:00 pm. As far as the weather, we heard of the weather during the week, high winds and 6 foot swells. No wind, but the swells were about 4-6 in 7 second intervals. A little rough going out in a small boat. 2 of the guys were "chumming" most of the day, even with patches and bonine. Smooth sailing downwind on the way home though. We will definitely charter this boat again.
