New Years Eve fishing


Last Sunrise of 2010
We left early this morning in search of a Bluefin Tuna. We had some good friends and hunting buddies of my brother in law Brian on board today with their sons. It was a beautiful day and by the afternoon was slick calm. The water had shoved back offshore of the rocks this morning which is not what I had hoped for after yesterday afternoon. We spent awhile trolling and finally took a break from that and went and spent some time jigging to let the kids have some fun. It was just as hard as you could go on the jacks with a scattered blackfin mixed in. One boat did hook a bluefin while jigging right next to us. After the kids had enough back to trolling we went but to no avail. I marked a couple places of the tunas and we tried everything to get them to bite form jigging to chumming but they didn't have eating on the brain. They were on the move and hard to stay on.  All in all it was a great day and we had a ball. We'll see you guys soon for another round. Happy New Years everyone.

December 30th

We had Todd Kief , Candice and a  friend of theirs along for some fishing today. The water was not right on the rocks first thing in the morning so we ventured on offshore to look around. There were a couple of yellowfin bites here and there but nothing concentrated to one specific area so we just fished around hoping for a bite. We went by a 1/3 sheet of plywood and had a couple of bites, I figured small tunas because of the water temp but I was wrong. I went back by it and there were 20 or so dolphin swimming around it. They had their coats on in that 68 degree water. We managed to catch I believe what was 10 out of the school. Glad to have them. The water got to the rocks in the afternoon and we hooked a big bluefin tuna on our second pass and spent quite some time on him before the hook pulled. That would have made our day , he was a nice fish but that's the way it goes sometimes. See you in the spring Todd for your birthday trip. Hopefully the tunas will be biting.  Sorry No pics today.
