looks like the normandy invasion today
must be at least 100 boats out today between the front of radalina to clemente
and they picked a good time to go
fish were starting to bite
good showing of tails and a few dodo's this morning
slow troll rapalas and fly lining
spots of dirty water south of the rock quarry but deep purple almost everywhere else
spoters aren't seeing too many swords
no shortage of spear carp or yellowtail
the backside of clemente showing a lot of fish
seems the blue fin are up above and out
Was out there yesterday on a sport boat chasing BFT. We got 2 booby prizes to take home in the way of BFT'S at 30 & 65 pounds. I call those booby prizes because I had an 100 plus pounder at deep color ready to die. When a 12 foot Mako forced him to make one last surge and sawed me off on the middle of the boat!Originally Posted by capoisok

Etucker pay the tax, the fish is over 100lbs plenty of meat left over after mako
You're right!!! Most of the other tuna that he hit only lost a tail. I would have loved it, if he only took the tail off. Losing the whole thing with nothing to show for it still hurts!
just got the all clear on the invasion
going out to bishops for a few days
if nothings snapping will wait it out and look around wasting time on spear carping
heard they are thick
reassessing our plans got the heads up that water churned up cold today
waiting to hear more options
be heading out in a hour or two
just waiting for are pal to quit lagging and clear n.p harbor tag teaming is better out there always
plus cover more ground
still plan on heading west marlin between cat and sci today paddy's mostly empty and tuna hard to find from there to the tanner
got some numbers for a fir tree floating about 150 west of dp depending on weather and if we can find it it should be a salt water noah's ark
well mission accomplished
we left and headed out to the tanner
outside of clemente we started to see puddlers and metering lots of bait hung a few 20lb yft's as we headed west it started to get really lumpy maybe 8 to 12 and it picked up to blowing 15-20+ out of the sw
headed back in ti sci.
spent 2 nights and a day killing time until it laid down
headed back out and it was really nice
saw lots of nice strippers big ones 170 -200lb range and schooling in 20-30 fish schools
paddy's weren't big producers on the troll
water was nice purple 68-75
headed to the south end of the tanner and started seeing schools of little dorado
thousands
between the 9 of us fishing on 2 boats we must have hooked 300 of them in less than 3 hours every cast on iron or chunks instant just like the trout farm
we kept 4 of the biggest buddies did about the same big ones were in the 12-20 range but 9 out of 10 went below a nickel
kept heading out towards the garret and found our tuna
nice spots of 30-50 lb yellowfin
daily limits in a few hours
latter on about sunset we picked up a boat heading our way on radar
it was the fish and game expected the cg
no harm no fault
asked what fish we had and if we had current license's we did, never checked our catch
really wondered what they were doing 120 miles off the beach
friday headed up towards the cortez
was like marine land foamers off and on all morning
hooked a couple of nice bft on the troll dorado hex heads 2 were tuff guys
farmed 1 and snapped the hook on the big one saw it i few times and it was 200+but who cares about a Kodak moment
got our 3 day limits on the yellowfins a few bft's had a nice mako that we tagged and released
all the 25lb+ jacks you wanted hungry
eating the 60 so you semi had control
lots of big molas half ton models most i have seen in a long time
whales where thick too finbacks and sperms
giant spots of bait heading back towards clemente
saw one spot of little mack's that had to be more than a mile long could see foamers working it horizon to horizon
surreal
alls wll that ends well
had a annual community party for memorial day
fish for 600 and a week of fun
