If you do not see the day you are looking for please be patient sometimes reports are delayed due to:

  • Computer problems at home or at sea

  • Satellite Phone problems

  • Fishing is really good and captain is busy with catch

  • The Polaris Supreme is just heading out to sea or heading back to port

  • The Polaris Supreme is in to refortify supplies  for the next adventure


Saturday Jan 9 - Well we had a very good start off early this morning. Al got the first ever swordfish landed on this boat at about 3:30 am. Jeremy backed that up with a 182 lb. yellowfin, also caught in the dark. Then we stayed pretty wide open until about 7:30am, on the smaller grade tuna which all were released. We then went looking around for larger grade tuna for the rest of the day. Everyone put forth a valiant effort but we just couldn't connect on the bigger fish. Plenty of the smaller grade, but the cows eluded us. Today we wound up the trip and are heading into Cabo to fly home tomorrow. The guys are breaking down their tackle and looking forward to sitting down to a nice lobster and filet dinner. I have to say these guys are some of the toughest guys we've seen. They really hung in there with such a great effort on their part in trying for the cows. This was an outstanding group and we all had a great time. We will be at the dock on Wednesday morning to weigh in the cows that were caught in the beginning of the trip. Come down and see us.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday Jan 8 - Again, and I know it sounds boring, but we have absolutely gorgeous weather. The first half of the day was dead with no action. But then the afternoon took off and kept us busy until dark. They were all smaller grade and we released them all. We'll be trying this area again tomorrow morning. Another boat in the vicinity caught a couple of nice ones. Everything is going good. It was nice to have some action today. We will continue looking for the cows.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Thursday Jan 7 - Another gorgeous weather day. The guys were sitting around saying it looked like the calm waters of Lake Havasu. It was lounge chair fishing but very little action. The guys still have high spirits though knowing that the fishing can turn around in a day if those two and three hundred pounders want to bite. We are going to hang tough here though on the big fish bank. We still have two more days to fish.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Wednesday Jan. 6 - What an absolutely wonderful day today. We're living the dream this trip.......as far as the weather goes. Everyone got a great tan today and enjoyed good tunes on deck while fishing hard all day. Signs of tuna were bleak. We covered a lot of territory and the bottom line was we saw a lot of fish, but none over 10 lbs. the weather looks like it will hold for the next two days. Three more days to fish. We are biding our time and hoping for the nice grade yellowfin to show back up on the shallows. Everyone is having a good time and are in good spirits. So as we sit down to a nice pork loin dinner with mushroom gravy and honey carrots we are thinking about tomorrow and hope that the conditions will be favorable. Wish us luck.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday Jan. 5 - Well today although it was gorgeous, relaxing and beautiful, the fishing sucked. Except George and Al both got a 175 pounder each. Our current changed direction and then completely shut off and the fish disappeared with the current. We're going to make a move and see if we can change our luck. Hope everyone is good at home and we miss you all.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Monday Jan 4 - Well I'm sitting here watching the gorgeous sunset over nice calm seas looking towards Hawaii. Hope everyone over there is having a great time like we are here. They are probably getting ready for some cocktails with their sunset while we are done here and are getting ready to sit down with some juicy, fall off the bone, baby back ribs, fresh corn on the cob, beans and jalapeno corn bread. Our fishing today was not quite as spectacular as yesterday. Although it was slower we still had a fun day and there was enough to keep us here another day. Today Charlie was the hot dog with a 251 lb., 170 lb., and a 136 pounder. Al got a 110 pounder and Eddie landed a 162 pounder. George released a 165 pounder. Bryan released a 115 pounder. Jeremy released a 85 pounder. And Craig released three over 100 with one at 110, one at 120, and one at 130 pounds. Bob hooked a good one at dark, but he got away real quick. So another day done.

Thanks for checking in.

Aloha,

Tommy and crew

Sunday Jan. 3 - The day started off great. We hooked three nice fish first thing this morning. Things then died out for awhile then picked up again for another four nice fish. The whole day progressed that way. Things would slow down for about 1 1/2 hours and then pick up and get busy for 1 1/2 hours. On and off all day. The quality of fish is just wonderful. The tally for the day is as follows: Craig Johnston - 170 lb., 175 lb., 180 lb. and released a 75 pounder. Bryan Davis - 230 lb., 145 lb., and released a 120 pounder. Jeremy Chandler - caught a 225 lb. and released a 100 pounder. George Davis landed a 155 pounder. Charlie Middleton got a big one at 275 lbs., a 145 lb., and 155 pounder. Al Tokunaga brought in a 155 pounder and Eddie Stokes caught a "bubble" fish that weighed 197.28 lbs. The hero of the day who made us all proud was Bob Milliken who got his personal best at 172 lbs. He wasn't the only one to catch a personal best, but he made the largest jump from his previous biggest fish. These are real hold fillers. And we had so much fun we are going to do it again tomorrow. It was just a fantastic day fishing in beautiful, gorgeous, calm weather. Our hors devores were great. Utilizing our catch from yesterday we had yellowfin and yellowtail sashimi, yellowfin poke, and yellowtail and sheepshead ceviche. Dinner was a sesame encrusted seared ruby red ahi with fresh green beans with butter almond sauce and rice. The boys all want to say hi to their wives or girlfriends.

Thanks for checking in,

Tommy and crew

Saturday Jan 2 - We had beautiful weather here again today. One of the most gorgeous days of traveling down this year. Jock strap and sun visor weather. Fortunately no one took it literally. The Coors light issue has been resolved thanks to a few boats in the fleet that we passed today. We tried for yellowfin, yellowtail, grouper, and wahoo just to get meal fish on board. We had success on the yellowfin and yellowtail and struck out on the grouper and wahoo. All in all a fun day though. Nice way to break up the ride down. Bob pulled on several fish today. I think he got the kinks out and is ready to pull on a 200 pounder. All the boats down below today had excellent fishing. And that makes the excitement pretty high here. I doubt we'll get much sleep tonight. The guys all say hi to all the girls back home. We will be fishing tomorrow where Eddie's brother Kevin caught his 300 pounder.

Wish us luck. Hope you are all having fun with whatever you are doing.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday January 1 - Happy New Year! We again have some absolutely gorgeous weather. The guys are all doing great. And no girls, there is still no one seasick. However, we may need to put out a call for Coors light as our supply in rapidly diminishing! Eddie caught us a yellowfin on the troll for some sushi tomorrow. Our destination is to head inside towards the inner banks. The reports form the code group all sound great. Even when they are not catching, they are still seeing good signs. Tomorrow we will make a run on the Ridge and try for some grouper just for fun and try to pick up some yellowtail and yellowfin for some ceviche, poke, and sashimi just to break up the ride. Our lunch today was street tacos made with prime rib and of course all the toppings. Dinner for New Years Day was Shrimp and scallop fettuccine.

So under clear skies and clam seas we travel on.

Thanks for checking in,

Tommy and crew

Thursday December 31, 2009 - We departed today on George Davis's annual private charter with eight passengers on board. The usual suspects on board are, George, Bryan, Craig, Eddie, Jeremy, Charlie, Al, and one newbie Bob. It's great to have Bryan and Eddie back on board. We took off early and loaded up some great looking bait. Our weather is 100 times better than last year. We know you girls are wondering and no, no one is seasick. They did start celebrating the New Year very early this morning. Well mainly the under 50 crowd. But things wound up early.

Lunch today was a great chicken Ciabatta sandwich with relleno chilies, Monterey jack, avocado, tomato and onion. And of course for News Year Eve we had prime rib, baked potato, fresh asparagus and Caesar salad.

Dinner and a movie and they were in bed by 9pm.

Our options look good. We won't make the final destination decision until tomorrow around mid-day. Everyone is excited and looking forward to fishing. We are having a great day, hope you are too. On behalf of the crew and passengers we wish you all back home a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year.

Thanks for checking in and we will send in the next report in 2010!

Tommy, Drew, Dave, Richie, Jed, Barry, and Mark

P.S. To Jen, Jeremy say "Meow". He really appreciated the two pictures of his best buddies asleep on his pillow and the bag of fur. It really meant a lot to him.

 


Friday December 11 - We are traveling home in gorgeous, sunny weather with the wind behind us. Hopefully this will keep up as we get nearer to San Diego. Our ETA for Sunday morning will be 5:30am. Come down and see us.

Tommy and crew

Thursday December 10 - If I thought yesterday was great, I didn't think today would be even better. We had just another fabulous day. Same grade of fish and the anglers did excellent job catching the tuna on lighter line. As with the past couple of days we also had a few marlin sprinkled in. The wind came down and our weather is gorgeous. And to answer the most popular question this time of year, no we haven't seen any of the 200 lb. tuna since we arrived. But the fishing is just excellent, wonderful. Today is our last day and we are now heading for home. This trip will depart on December 1st for 2010. Check out our schedule on line and come out and fish. We have trips from 3-16 days.

We'd love to have you on board.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Wednesday December 9 - Had an absolutely phenomenal day fishing. Kite fishing was as good as it gets. Several times during the day we couldn't get out fast enough. Same grade of fish 70-130 lbs. No signs of the cow fish since we got down here. Our weather is windy and choppy today but plenty fishable. We're having a great time and we have one more full day. We're going to do this again tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday December 8 - All Right! Things turned around. We had an excellent fishing today on 60-130 lb. tuna. We have gorgeous weather and two more days to fish. Hopefully this kind of action will continue.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Monday December 7 - After three days of looking for the big fish we are discouraged. It feels like the Grinch has stolen Christmas and all the presents and left nothing but pine needles. With the exception of the first day when we had a decent hit, every morning after a few hours things just shut down. So we are making another move. We are hoping for a different day. While we have heard that your weather back at the dock is cold and rainy, we are still experiencing great weather down here. We still have three full days to fish so wish us luck.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday December 6 - We picked up 14 of the smaller grade tuna today. Looked at more fish and porpoise then we have all year, but nothing wants to bite. Blame it on the moon or whatever. They just aren't biting. So we have some exciting reports on a different area which we will be trying. Everyone has high expectations for tomorrow. The weather is still great. So wish us luck that we might find a big hungry herd of cows.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Saturday December 5 - In the early part of the day we fished on 70-100 pound tuna and then it died. We also had a handful of school size. We hope it will rebound soon to the stellar cow fishing that was happening 3 days prior to us arriving. Our weather is just beautiful.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday December 4 - Today half of the guys caught some nice wahoo and the other half gave it a good shot but didn't land one. We also caught and released some small tuna and yellowtail. Our weather is good.

Sunday November 15 - We arrived at the dock at 6am and weighed up the jackpot. First place went to Mike Payne with a 227.8lb. yellowfin tuna. This earned him a free black 200 lb. Tuna Club jacket. Second and third were almost twins. David Manning had a 169.8 pounder and Pete Mostert had a 168.6 pounder. This was a great trip, great group, and we look forward to seeing you all again next year. Now for those of you that want to go for a cow but haven't book a trip yet, now is the time.

We have one more trip with openings before the end of the year departing on December 2. It is extremely light right now but we are a confirmed go. We will be targeting the cows and wahoo. Give yourself an early present and come out and join me and the crew on this 11 day adventure.

If you can't get away then have a great holiday and maybe we'll see you next year.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Saturday November 14 - Travel day home. A little choppy but we should be at the dock by 6am. Come by and say hi!Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday November 13 - Well Friday the 13th proved to be unlucky for us. We scratched a few of the smaller yellowtail and spent the day looking for the yellowfin tuna that were in this area. But we bombed out. Where'd they go? There were three of us here and we all struck out for the day. The weather was choppy but workable. We will now start for home and travel all day Saturday. Looks like we may have a bumpy ride. We will be at the dock Sunday morning.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Thursday November 12 - We woke up to beautiful weather and a nice surprise with a day of good wahoo fishing. We also had decent fishing on the smaller grade tuna to go with it. Late in the day we picked up three nice grouper. Everyone is having a good time and we will be at it again first thing tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Wednesday November 11 - First and foremost, Happy Veteran's Day. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, to all the vets and active duty military for their service. We had an absolutely beautiful, calm day out here fishing. But the fishing stunk. They decided to take the day off and celebrate our vets. We did land two 50 lb. tuna but mostly we just watched 100 pounders jump out of the water and splash around. Rather frustrating. We're done with the trophy's. Now we are off to hunt down a mixed bag of game for the next few days.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday November 10 - Had another great day fishing. The grade was a little bit larger, with half in the 65-85 lb. range and the other half in the 20-30 lb class. We have excellent weather and there are still good signs of the bigger tuna, so we will give it a try here again tomorrow. We still are hoping for some cows. Everyone is having a great time, including the crew. This is just a really fun group. And chef David is keeping everybody happy putting out some absolutely fantastic meals.

We are booking for 2010, in fact some trips are already full. So look at our schedule and give Susan a call.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday November 10 (early report) -We had great fishing yesterday on the 35-55 grade yellowfin tuna and lost a couple in the 150 lb. range. This morning Pete landed a 160 pounder at daylight. So we are looking around today for that better grade tuna. Wish us luck!

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday November 8 - Today was a trophy fish day. We hooked a lot of nice big fish and landed about half of them. Fred Meyer had an 80 pounder and Sasha Salganick and Craig Heberer both had 85 pounders. Then John Esler and Gene Cornthwaite land a couple around 110 pounds. And the top fisherman of the day went to Dave Manning with one at 145 lbs. and one at 157lbs. The biggest fish for the day went to Mike Payne with a 207 pounder. This will earn him a free 200 lb Tuna Jacket back at the dock! Fishing on the big fish was good. We lost a few to many for to many random reasons to mention. Our weather is good and we will give it a go again tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Saturday November 7 - We had a fun day pulling on fish, but not much tagging. Most were the smaller grade yellowfin and yellowtail. Later in the day we found a nice grade of yellowtail and a few pargo. Our weather is good.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday November 6 - Today was basically a travel day. We rigged our gear and stopped for a handful of yellowfin tuna. The weather was nice all day and the guys are excited to get down below in hopes of the bigger grade tuna. The water has cooled off to an acceptable 78 degrees. We need a few more anglers for the December 2, 11-day trip so if you've been thinking about getting out here give Susan a call.

Thanks for checking in.

Thursday November 5 - Our passengers arrived early at the dock this morning for a quick and early departure.

But the big bruisers on the dock were Scott Belardes's with his 79.6 wahoo and Larry Bennett had the whopping 90.4 wahoo. Now that will make a few tacos. The big ones were not in jackpot as they were caught on the troll. Thanks Stephen and Scott Belardes. Great group of guys.

Second was Henry Proo with a 42.8 lb dorado and third was Scott Oberg with a 32 lb. tuna. Ron Cox also deserves recognition for his huge 56.4 lb. dorado. Ron however was not in the jackpot. According to Bill Roecker this is the biggest dorado so far this season. So now we turn around and are off again on a 8-day trip with the Old Wild Bunch charter. Le Roy Belardes started this charter and unfortunately we lost Le Roy in April this year. However his two sons Stephen and Scott are taking over this year. Everybody is excited to get underway and get their lines wet and pull one in for Le Roy.

Thursday August 27 - At the dock this morning we weighed in Pete Delgado's bluefin which went to 101.6 pounds. He was not in jackpot though so first place went to Neal Tamashiro with his 65.8 pounder and Bill Fix was second with his 65.2 lb. tuna and Dr Al Salganick closed it with his 63 pounder. We had many in the 50-60 lb range. We had some really good fishing on the yellowfin, albacore and bluefin. Now today we have a very excited group heading out on Garry Robert's annual 9-day trip. The crew and I are equally excited as this is our first long range trip of the season. We have our blinders on and are heading down with a nice ride.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Wednesday August 26 - Absolutely phenomenal albacore fishing again. These things are slugs. We fished them into the dark in excellent weather. Tonight we are winding up a great trip with a great group of passengers. Bob we sure did miss you at the rail and look forward to seeing you soon. We will be at the dock at 6 am and then turn around and head south on Garry Roberts annual 9-day.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday August 25 - Got into the albacore good. You can quote me, it was excellent albacore fishing.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Monday August 24 - Excellent fishing on the 50 lb. grade yellowfin tuna with a few good size yellowtail thrown in. Our weather continues to be gorgeous.

Thanks for checking in

Tommy and crew

Sunday August 23 - We bypassed the albacore fishing and headed straight down to fish the big tuna. Had a pretty fair day and hope tomorrow will be even better. Our weather is excellent and everyone is having a good time. And we'd like to send a "Thank You" to Tom from* Jokers Wild in Henderson Nevada.* He sent out some nice hats and shirts and hopefully some of that "Lady Luck" that can rub off for some great fishing. We look forward to seeing you out here next year and maybe in our off time you'll see us sitting at one of your tables or slot machines!

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Saturday August 22 - Got to the dock and unloaded the fish to the scales. The jackpot went to Dwight Hand with his 56.4 yellowfin, second place Jeffrey Abrams with his 47.6 yellowfin and third went to Henry Main with his 43.2 pound yellowfin. Thank you Ryan Christianson for hosting this Let's Talk Hookup trip. Today we will depart on Bob Vance's annual 5-day trip. We will miss Bob this year as he is unable to make it, but his good friend Joe Beck is stepping in to take over for this year and we look forward to having Bob back on next year. We have a nice group on board. Most are repeats and some new faces. We got away early from the dock and loaded up the bait and are heading south.

Wish us luck.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday August 21 - We had an absolutely excellent day fishing the albacore in beautiful, calm weather. Most of our fish today came from two wide open stops. It was really great. Needless to say everyone is having a great time here on our last day of fishing. We will be in tomorrow morning at 6am.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Thursday August 20 - Offshore showed great promise first thing in the morning and then fell on it's face for the rest of the day. We had one small hit mid-day, but otherwise that better grade tuna didn't surface.

The local fishing was down also. We are still having great weather and we will be offshore in new territory tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Wednesday August 19 - Had a scratch day fishing offshore with the exception of kelp which was holding a mix of fish. Overall it was a little slow and we caught a little over 50 for the day. Our weather is fantastic. We will go looking for a new area tomorrow as this one is shrinking up.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday August 18 - We arrived at the dock at 6:00 am with our jackpot winners Mike Hagan in first place with his 62.8 pound yellowfin, John Hom with his 59.6 pound yellowfin and Ron Heil, our charter-master with a 57.8 pounder. This was a great group of mostly regulars and a few new anglers. Thanks for a fun trip and we look forward to seeing you all again next August. Today we depart on the "Let's Talk Hook-up"

charter. Wish us luck and thanks for checking in.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Saturday August 15 - The good sign on the big tuna is they are still here but just not biting real well. We scratched away at them today. We picked up 13 fish for the morning and 30 yellowtail to go with it. Hope they want to bite tomorrow. We will stay and fish until the evening. Weather is just great and everyone is having a good time.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday August 14 - Absolutely fantastic weather and just incredible fishing on the yellowfin tuna today. We also had a nice mix of bluefin, albacore, dorado and yellowtail. We are off to look for big yellowfin and yellowtail at Guadalupe Island. We are having a great day. Hope you are too!

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Thursday August 13 - The jackpot went to Alex Rogger with his 82.6 pound yellowfin. Second place was Jerry Cowan with a 60.4 tuna and John Warner finished it off with his 59.8 pounder. We are now departing with Ron Heil and his 23 anglers for a 5-day. Everyone is excited to be away from the dock with an early departure. Susan said we still have open spots on the 4-day Let's Talk Hook-up Charter departing next week on Tuesday the 18th and the 5-day on August 22. So call your boss and tell him you're going fishing. And if he's a cool boss, bring him too!

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Wednesday August 12 - Had a fun day fishing off shore and picked up a combo of bluefin, yellowfin and albacore, sometimes all in one stop.

Wasn't wide open, but enough to keep us busy. Weather backed off and was fantastic. We'll be in to the dock at 6am tomorrow and then off on Ron Heil's annual 5-day.

Thanks for checking in ,

Tommy and crew

Tuesday August 11 - We fished for a day at Guadalupe again. Excellent signs but not the numbers we hoped for. Only half the guys got a fish today. On the good news side, fishing went off, off shore today and we are heading that way to get a full day of fishing in for our last day. Our weather is good.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Monday August 10 - We started our day scratching away at 40-50 pound tuna, then they took a powder and it died for the afternoon. We then went looking for the larger yellowtail. Most were in the 40 lb. range. We had good success, but heavy losses.

Thanks for checking in,

Tommy and crew

Sunday August 9 - Got an early start at Guadalupe Island. Every one got a good shot at 50lb.+ tuna and a couple of yellowtail. Signs look ok today. Still good fish around. We are looking forward to tomorrow. And our weather, it is good.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Saturday August 8 - We traveled in and made it to the dock at 6:00am.

Jackpot was William Taylor with his 60 lb. yellowfin tuna. Thanks to Robin Gledhill and Blue and White. You put together a great group and we look forward to seeing you all again next August. Today we will depart on our third trip in a row that is a limited load of only 20 anglers. This is Eric Rogger's annual 5-day charter. Hopefully the weather is laying down out there and the fish are still hungry. Wish us luck.

Thanks for checking in,

Tommy and crew

Friday August 7 - Sloppy weather today. We spent a little time fishing. Winds were exceeding 20 knots and we hope it goes away. This was a good trip, but it was a great trip considering the weather conditions. See ya at the dock tomorrow morning.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Thursday August 6 - It was quite enjoyable fishing behind the island and getting away from the open sea for the day. Tuna fishing was ok but kinda off for what it has been. We also had a few nice yellows thrown in with them.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Wednesday August 5 - Absolutely fantastic day fishing out here. I have to say it's pretty nice with this ultra light load. This is the second trip in a row with only 18 passengers and let me tell you, there is plenty of room at the rail. And coming over that rail throughout the whole day we caught some of that smaller grade yellowfin mixed in with bluefin, yellowtail and dorado. It was great fishing in some sloppy weather. We're off to look for quality yellowfin like the ones that won jackpot last trip. Everyone is having a great time and looking forward to the calm lea of an island.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday August 4 - We finished up our day fishing yesterday with a steady mix of yellowfin, bluefin, and yellowtail. It was bumpy on the way home, but we had a great trip. At the dock the jackpot went to our fantastic charter master Tom Chaparro with a 66 lb. yellowfin, Mark Arbunich was second with his 62.8 yellowfin and Travis Donahue was third with a 61.6 yellowfin. Thanks Tom. You and your group worked hard and we look forward to seeing you all next year. At the dock we have Robin Gledhill and his private charter of 18 anglers anxious to get on board and underway. So quick turnaround and we are off for another fishing adventure.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and Crew

Monday August 3 - This morning started off good with excellent signs and catching nice size bluefin. Weather has backed off a little and hope it keeps up. Today is going to be good. This is an unbelievable season.

From day to day we don't know where we are going next for just some really great fishing. New stuff is just popping up everyday. We do still have openings on our "Let's Talk Hookup" 4-day departing August 18 and August 22, 5-day. And we have a new 5-day trip we put on for Guadalupe departing Oct. 6. These are the only short trips that still have openings. So give Susan a call and come out for some great fishing.

Thanks for checking in. We will update our day later on tonight.

Tommy and crew

Sunday August 2 - Off shore today fishing kelp patties and tuna schools for an extreme variety. Never knew if you were going to get a yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, dorado, yellowtail or albacore! Had a great day except the weather could've given us a break. It was rough out here today. We are off to the bluefin grounds tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Saturday August 1 - We had a good morning on the yellowfin and then they took a powder. So late in the day we switched gears and scratched away on some nice yellowtail.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday July 31 - Traveled down to Guadalupe with high expectations for getting back into the action on the yellowfin tuna and we were not disappointed. We had a great day. Lots of fun action.

Tommy and crew


Thursday July 30 - Docked the boat this morning a little later than usual. We had some great fishing yesterday and it delayed us just a couple hours. Jackpot winners were Paul Oates in first place with his 58 lb. yellowfin. Cody Emerson beat his dad and grandfather who were also on the trip with his 53.6 pounder. And third was Al Preschutti with his 52.8 pound tuna. We had a really fast turnaround and back out around 10:45 with Tom Chaparro and his ultra limited load charter of 18. We will be out for 5 days and hope the fish will continue to be hungry.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday July 28 - We started the day off in great weather and and had a mixed catch of albacore, bluefin, and yellowfin. We wish we had our permits today for Guadalupe because the tuna fishing went off there today. We won't get our permits until tomorrow as they are being delivered to us by another boat. So see ya tomorrow morning. We will have a few hours to fish Guadalupe and hopefully it will treat us right.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Monday July 27 - Had a great day fishing the yellowtail. Had lots of action. We will be back off shore tomorrow to try and find the albacore and bluefin. Our weather is ok. A little choppy but not bad.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday July 26 - Look hard all day to no avail. The albacore and bluefin have vanished. Where'd they go? We are in good weather and will be on the hunt again tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Saturday July 25 - Well yesterday was just as good as the previous days. Our anglers are ready to come home and take a break and enjoy their fine catches. We were first boat in this morning at 5:30 and weighed up for jackpot and again the women showed their skills with Carolyn Woodward coming in first with her 46.4 lb. bluefin, Greg Hyden was next with his 45.8 and Eve Oldenkamp finished it up with her 43 pounder. Congrats to all. Now we are out again with Matt Herrington and his group for another 5-day. Hopefully we will have the same conditions. We have some openings on the radio talk show "Let's Talk Hookup" charter August 18th and the Bob Vance charter on August 22. And if you are starting to think about wahoo and those bigs cows, we still have some spots in the fall. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

 


Thursday July 23 - We had another good day fishing the nice grade bluefin, and yes the albacore are still here. They also are a really nice grade. This is some of the best fishing we have seen in the past 4-5 years. The weather is beautiful and calm. I know we filled the Chaparro limited load trip on the 30th, but we do still have some open spots at the end of August and I think the July 25th still has a couple spots. If you've been on the fence waiting to see what the season was going to bring, it is here. Don't miss out on this outstanding fish.

Give Susan a call 619-390-7890.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy

Wednesday July 22 - Excellent fishing today on the yellowtail. Everyone had their fill within a few hours. We went off to look for the trophies. We are still enjoying the beautiful weather and everyone is having a great time.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday July 21 - We had world class fishing out here today on the 28-38 pound albacore with a few in the 40 pound range thrown in. Absolutely phenomenal fishing! The bluefin also cooperated and everyone had a chance for a few of them. The weather is gorgeous. And everyone on board is obvious having a great time. We hope to see you out fishing soon. There are a couple open spots on our July 25th trip. If you can get away, give Susan a call 619-390-7890.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Monday July 20 - We departed early this morning with Mark Costello's 5-day charter. Loaded up some nice bait and slid out of the harbor. Reports sound promising so we hope luck will be with us.

Thanks for checking in,

Tommy and crew


Wednesday July 15 - We arrived at the dock this morning at 8:00 am and unloaded. The women on board proved victorious as jackpot went to Katherine Friesen who was out with her dad. She had a nice 43 lb. bluefin. Second place went to Carmen Morales with her 33.6 lb. bluefin and third place went to Katherine's dad Brian Friesen with his 30.8 bluefin and that just barely beat Irene Gonzales who had a 30.6 pound bluefin.

We now will be at the dock for a few days and prepare to depart on Mark Costello's 5 day charter on Monday. We still have a few open spots on a couple of 5-day trips and the four day trip with Let's Talk Hook-up at the end of August. Also Tom Chaparro has one spot now on his ultra limited load 18 passenger trip July 30th. So if you have that craving for some fresh ahi poke, and have permission from the boss or wife, give Susan a call and come out and join us! 619-390-7890 Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Monday July 13 - Today fishing was tough for the fleet and the weather didn't make is any easier to work. We were lucky as there was a bluefin school that stuck with us and there were a few albacore mixed in.

Everyone is hanging in there, working hard at the rail and having a good time. We are hoping for another big hit like we've had on the past couple trips. Wish us luck!

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew


Sunday July 12 - We got in this morning and weighed up the jackpot.

According to Bill Roecker, we have the biggest albacore caught so far this season! Hubert Bell won 1st place with a *47 lb. albacore.

*Second place went to Tom Carr with his 42.4 pound blue fin and wrapping up with 3rd place was Lohn Storms with his bluefin that weighed 38.6.

The whole catch was just a beautiful bunch of fish. Great trip and a great group of guys. Thank you Jorge, Brett and Jim! Now we have cleaned up the boat, restocked the galley and the bait tanks and are off again for another 3-day. We heard fishing was a little slow today so we hope it will pick up again tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday July 10 - Excellent, excellent, excellent albacore fishing! And fair hits on the 30 pound bluefin to go with it. Beautiful weather. Everyone is having an excellent time. This is probably the best albacore fishing in four to five years. Thi is a great time to get out. And just to mention it again, we are only a few spots away from making our 3-day on the 16th a go. Call Susan if you can come out with us.

Thanks for checking in,

Tommy and crew

Thursday July 9 - Got into the dock this morning at 9:00 am and the jackpot fish were Bob Snyder with a 37.8 bluefin, Dave Grabenauer with a 36.4 bluefin and Edward Coppock with his 33.2 bluefin. Quick turnaround and we are out on a 3-day charter with a great group of guys including some father son teams. This trip is full and the next 3-day is full but we still have openings on the 3-day leaving July 16th. So if you can find the time come out and get some of this great fishing give Susan a call in the office. 619-390-7890 Thanks, Tommy and crew

Wednesday July 8 - Absolutely phenomenal albacore fishing today and good fishing on the 25-35 pound bluefin. Excellent weather. Everybody is having a fantastic time as you can imagine. Coming in late tomorrow morning with a 10:00 am ETA.

Thanks for checking in

Tommy and crew

Tuesday July 7 - Fishing today was good on the albacore. It started out slow but we pulled it out of the hat at the end of the day. Two other boats out here had good scores also. One on albacore, and the other on the bluefin. Our weather is excellent off shore and hopefully we will be top dog tomorrow!

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy

Monday July 6 - Today we had excellent fishing on the 16-22 lb. yellowtail. We are in beautiful weather, with lots of fish and are having a great time.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday July 5 - Well our weather is sloppy and choppy. The albacore fishing was good, but not so much for us. We were right there in the thick of things, but we only got a few samples. Our score for the day was near the bottom of the bucket. The signs are still good for the albacore in the 3-day range. So we hope our luck will change for the better tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and Crew

Saturday July 4 - We departed today on Paul Hess's annual 5-day trip with 24 anglers. Most are repeats but there are a couple of new faces. Paul always puts together a great group of anglers. Prospects are exciting right now as one boat just had a couple hundred albacore in the

18-22 pound grade. So far this morning things sound a little bit slower but this fish is definitely in the 3-day range and you should be able to get two days of fishing in. So look at the schedule and maybe one of our 3, 4 or 5 day trips will fit your schedule! We have loaded up a nice supply of bait and we are on our way. Wish us luck and thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew


Tuesday June 30 - We arrived at the dock this morning at 7am. We had a great trip with a great group and look forward to seeing some of them again in a couple months on other trips!

Our jackpot winners were Philip Dudley with a 38.2 lb. yellow, Michael Wintjen came in just ahead of his father with a 36.8 pounder and his dad weighted in with his 36.0 pounder. And just like we have been seeing these past couple of weeks, there were many of these cookie cutter yellowtail fish on the dock. We will be in for a couple days and back out with Paul Hess's charter on the 4th.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Sunday June 28 - The morning started off with great fishing on the nicer 30 lb.+ yellows. In the afternoon it was really wide open on the 16-18 pounders. Justin also landed a nice halibut. And still, our weather is absolutely gorgeous. Tomorrow we will be heading back up to see if the bluefin and albacore have any interest in our baits.

Thanks again for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Saturday June 27 - We hunted around all morning for the big yellows we got last night but none were to be found. Midday we decided to bail out and go look for some of the smaller grade 12-15 pounders and we got into them good until dark. What started out slow turned out to be fantastic. Tomorrow we will be back looking for the bigger grade. Our weather, companionship, and food is great and everyone is having fun.

On the albacore, bluefin scene, although some of the guys are seeing big schools of bluefin and smaller schools of albacore, the off shore fishing is poor at this time. These guys just aren't biting...yet we all know that can change in a day. So we will be patient.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday June 26 - We got to the fishing grounds late today and had some good signs. We fished until dark for some of those bigger yellows. Our weather is beautiful. We put a new 3-day trip on line for Thursday July 16 returning Sunday July 19, for $990. This will be our only 3-day for the rest of the season. (The other two are full) Give Susan a call in the office if you can get away. 619-390-7890.

Thanks for checking in, Tommy and crew

Thursday June 25 - We arrived early this morning and weighed up the jackpot fish. There are two jackpots for this trip. One for the kids and one for the adults. On the kids jackpot the winner was Annie Burgess with a 39.4 yellowtail, second was Dominic Ortiz with a 35.8 yellowtail, and third was Sydney Mack (daughter of one of our captains, Dave Mack) with a 35.6 pounder. For the adults, our charter master Larry Brown pulled in the biggest with a 40.2 lb. yellowtail, Robert Thacher had a 39.6 lb. yellowtail, and Fritz Jacobsen rounded it out with a 37.8 pounder for third place. And we weighed many more of these cookie cutter fish. It was a really fun trip. Quick turn around and we are off again with a great group of guys. Mal Wagstaff and Joe Beck have joined together this year with their annual 5-day charter.

Tonight we welcomed them on board with a delicious prime rib dinner and everyone is excited for tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday June 23 - We had a great day again today on the yellowtail and the size has really improved. They were all 30 to 40 pounds. Really nice quality. We also had a halibut find it's way to our deck. Our weather is just gorgeous. We will be heading up to the albacore and bluefin grounds tomorrow and hopefully they will be hungry.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy

Monday June 22 - We had an excellent day fishing the yellows from daylight to dark. They were the smaller grade 15-16 pounders with a few 20 pounders thrown in. The weather was a little bit windy, but it was sunny and we had good seas. Everybody had a fantastic time today. Fun steady action. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday June 21 - We fished for a few hours on our way to the yellowtail grounds but only got a few albacore and bluefin. There was some sign, but most of the fish were down. Our weather remains good.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Saturday June 20 - We departed today on Larry Brown's annual 5-day father/son, father/daughter, mother/son, mother/daughter, grandfather/grandchildren .....(you get the picture). Every year we have so much fun on this trip. While most are repeats we have a few newbies. Lucky are a couple of our anglers as they have three generations together for this trip. Now that is special. We loaded up our bait, gave our seminars and are headed out off shore. We will be looking for blue fin and albacore and yellowtail on kelp patties. Our weather is good and hopefully it will stay that way. Thanks for checking in. We will keep you posted.

Tommy and crew


June 1 - Monday Well, we have completed our annual maintenance and

Coast Guard inspections so we are ready to go fishing! Memorial Day weekend started off the season with the first albacore being caught (since January) and a couple of bluefin also. That has all of us on the boat excited as well as most of you. Water conditions look spectacular for the season and we hope to have some water charts on the web site soon for you to view. We are also please to pass on the fact that the Guadalupe permits have been granted for the next two years. I know a lot of you are looking forward to fishing there. We have our schedule on line for you to look at. Prices are the same as last year and as of right now there is no fuel surcharge. So let's hope the cost stays down. We have two new 1 1/2 day trips that we added on and we still have some openings on some of the 4 and 5 day trips this summer. Give Susan a call and she can check dates and availability for you or your group. 619-390-7890. And one more thing, tune in to Let's Talk Hook-up June 13th, Saturday morning (7-9am) and yours truly will be on with Pete Gray. It's always a good time and I hope you will call in with your questions. But you can also call me any time in the office.

On behalf of the same old crew and myself, thanks for checking in and I hope you can get out and fish with us this year.

Thanks,

Tommy


 

We are getting ready to start our annual boat maintenance. There will be no fishing reports at this time


Wednesday January 7 - Nothing doing here.  Poor fishing.  Lots of good signs in this new area but they just didn't want to bite.  We didn't hook one tuna and there were pretty darn good signs.  Our weather is good.  We will stay the night and give it one more day before we wind up the trip.  Everyone is hanging in there despite the the poor fishing in the 300 lb tuna grounds.

Thanks for checking in.
Tommy and crew

Tuesday January 6 - Fishing was slow yesterday and the weather was crappy.  The only bright moment was midday when George caught a 192 lb. and as well as bright it was disappointing when Al lost a 225 lb.  Only two tuna all day.  There were again a couple of marlin and sharks.  The weather backed off at dark and it is nice here this morning.  The signs however do not look good at all.  It's like it was yesterday in this area.  300 lb. bank...mureto.  We have two more full days to fish.  One boat that was here left for other areas.  We are on our own.  Wish us luck.  We need it.
Tommy and crew

Monday January 5 - Yesterday the guys were busy catching thresher sharks and marlin.  Not one sign of tuna.  Everyone caught at least 1 marlin.  Jeremy and Gunnar caught 2 marlin.  We kept the last thresher shark of the day for dinner tomorrow.  Of course we released all the rest and all the marlin.  It was pretty apparent something very different was going on because of the lack of tuna signs.  However all conditions are looking good.  We are giving it a try here again this morning but for now, things look the same.
Thanks for checking in.
Tommy and crew

Sunday Jan 4 - We arrived at the upper banks but didn't have much luck in the bait fishing last night.  We got a few squid but that was about it.  This morning (8am) there is a little life and we are just waiting for something to bite.  Our weather is still good.  We'll check in later.
Tommy and crew

Saturday January 3 - We have absolutely fabulous weather.  Both yesterday and today it's just great, gorgeous.  Everybody on board here today want to start out with a huge *congratulations to Eddie and Lauren on their engagement!  *George, Jeremy, Craig and Tommy as well as everyone on board want you to know how happy we all are for you both.
Everything is going good.  We did a short seminar today and rigged some special leaders for this area.  We will start bait fishing at dark.  We will get our report in sometime tomorrow.  I hope we are too busy and can't get it out until after dark!  Wish us luck and thanks for checking in.
*GO CHARGERS!
*Tommy and crew

Friday January 2 - Yes, now this is what I'm talking about.  We finally got a break in the weather.  It is beautiful and we have left Hurricane Bank.  We are now heading to the upper banks.  We will be there tomorrow night.  Yesterday was an ok day of fishing.  George kept a 219 and released a 185.  Jeremy released a 140.  Craig kept a 205 and by the way that was a mistake yesterday.  Craig kept a 210 pounder, it was not 110 as it says in the report.  We will get that corrected.  Al kept a 100 for his buddies that are going to Ennis hunting.  They are going to open pit bar-b-que it on a spit like a pig.  Now that sounds interesting. 
Charlie released a 125 and Scott released a 140.  Each day I should tell you that we also have 5-12 fish that we caught that were under 100 lbs. and were not mentioned.  These all were released.  Yesterday we also had good wahoo fishing.  Jeremy and Craig both caught 4 and Gunnar and Al got 3.  Everybody else had a couple a piece.  Overall the trip to Hurricane Bank has been very good with 8 over 200 and excellent wahoo fishing.  The weather sure could've been nicer.  We will have four full days of fishing up above before heading into Cabo San Lucas.  We will travel all day today and tomorrow.  Have a great weekend and wish us luck.
Thanks for checking in.
Tommy and crew
P.S.  Kevin and Eddie - Jeremy say he is going to put you to shame and smoke all your old records.  Kevin we are heading to the area where you caught your 300 pounder.

Thursday January 1 - Happy New Year!  Our last day of 2008 was nice.  George caught a 236 lb. and 190 lb and lost one around 220lbs.  He got it almost to gaff and it just came unbuttoned.  Scott caught a 200 lb.  Craig kept a 110 lb.  Charlie released a 145 lb., Gunnar released a 140 and 100 lb.  Al released a 140 lb, lost one around 200 lb and kept a nice one at 215 lb.  And Jeremy released a 70 lb and landed his first fish over 200 pounds.  He got a 205 on the kite.  Some of the guys had good wahoo fishing on the anchor and some just kept with the tuna fishing.

This morning as of 0700 hours has started off good.  George has a 219 lb and we've had a couple of good blow outs on the kite.  Our weather is just horrible.  It is just downright crappy.  Everyone is doing fine but it would be nice to have it back off for a few days.

From all of us at the Polaris Supreme we wish you and yours a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous, New Year!  May you be able to fish often and your lines be tight.  Thanks for checking in.
Tommy and crew

Wednesday December 31- Yesterday things started out slow but got better.  We had an excellent day on the wahoo and the tuna cooperated a little bit.  We didn't get as many quality tuna as we'd like and the guys released most of what they caught.  George released a 150 lb., Craig released a 175 lb. Charlie released a 110 lb. Gunnar released a 175 and Al released a 160 lb.  Scott kept a 221 pounder, Gunnar kept a 140 lb. and Jeremy kept a 150 and 125 lb.  For lunch we had excellent fresh wahoo tacos and dinner was ruby red ahi and steak fillet.  Our weather was crappy in the morning and then got better midday and then crappy again late in the afternoon.

This morning the weather has backed off a little but it is still rough.  We lost a set of anchor gear.  It chaffed off on the ridge.  Right now it's 0900 hrs and there is a little sign of tuna.  Gunnar released a 140 lb. and George kept a 236.  We had great bait fishing last night so we are ready for whatever comes our way today.  Hopefully the weather will back off and we will have a good start on the day.
Thanks for checking in.
Tommy and crew

Tuesday December 30 - Well it's 8:30 am and our weather is crudy.  It started kicking up around midnight.  Our ride was ok but once we got into the bank and anchored up it is making it tough to fish.  We did however have some wahoo action first thing on the anchor and we also caught and released some 60-70 pound tuna.  We have the rest of the day to go and will try to update again later.
Thanks for checking in.
Tommy and crew

Monday December 29 - Well we are still traveling down.  Everyone is doing great, just rigging and getting their tackle ready.  We should arrive tomorrow at 6am.  Our weather is still great.
Thanks,
Tommy and crew

Sunday December 28 - Our weather is still ok.  The swell and wind are behind us.  We did our wahoo seminar yesterday and today we did our tuna seminar.  We are traveling by Alijos Rocks, 60 miles to the west, with no intention of stopping in our desire to arrive nice and early at Hurricane Bank, Tuesday morning at daylight for the tuna bite.  Jeremy is still doing fine.  No sea sickness, but he sure does sleep a lot.  Gunnar is keeping crew member Mark busy beating him at video football.  Charlie is doing his usual laps around the boat to stay in shape and counter the calories of the great home made lasagna Jeff served yesterday.  And Al Tokunaga again made the nice gesture of printing up and gifting all passengers and crew with custom made shirts for this "Davis Charter".  It's a great group and we are enjoying hanging out and "bs"ing with them.
Thanks for checking in.
Tommy and crew

Saturday December 27 - Our weather is excellent.  Nice, calm and sunny.  There is still a big swell but we are having a beautiful ride.  Everyone is feeling great.  They are rigging, eating and relaxing.  What a great way to wind down after the holidays.
Thanks for checking in.
Tommy and crew

Friday December 26 - Well after being at the dock for the last two weeks enjoying the holidays with our family and friends, we are now anxious to get back out on the water.  We departed today on George Davis's annual 16 day charter with 7 anglers on board.  We loaded up a nice batch of bait and got off with an early start.  Our weather heading down was rough.  It was just nasty, nasty, nasty.  One of our new passengers (Jeremy) with this group got broke in right by sleeping for 20 hours, but most of the guys just enjoyed watching movies on the big new flat screen that Santa put in the galley.  Our weather calmed down around one in the morning and it is good to have the weather behind us.
Thanks for checking in.
Tommy and crew


The Polaris Supreme will be at the dock until Dec. 26 enjoying the Holidays.  We wish all of you good health, peace and happiness.  Reports will resume December 26th.
Thanks,
Tommy and crew


Saturday December 6 - We made a short attempt in the morning to catch some better grade tuna. But it just wasn't happening.  Midday we we fished some of the smaller grade  tuna for a few fish.  The last three days haven't worked out like we had hoped for for the cow tuna.  The guys put serious time at the rail, but our timing was just off. 
Tomorrow we will be looking for dorado and wahoo on kelps.  The one thing that has been consistent is the weather.  It is still great.
Thanks,
Tommy and crew

Friday December 5 - Our timing sucks.  This place fell flat on its face today for everybody.  We picked up one fish around 150 lbs. and stopped on many schools that didn't want to bite.  We made attempts later in the day for small grade tuna, but that didn't work out either.  Hoping for something better tomorrow.  The weather is still good.
Tommy and crew

Thursday December 4 - We made a move to the banks where the 200-300 lb.
fish were caught.  But things there fell flat.  We only caught two for our efforts.  Jay picked up a 150 lb., and Robert also picked up a 150 pounder.  One of the other banks went off today and the guys had some great fish.  We are going to bust a move to the area with reports of 100-200 pound fish.  Our weather is good.
Thanks,
Tommy and crew

Wednesday December 3 - This morning we had a quick hit on the tuna, but it dried up fast. Shortly there after we got a call that a couple of the code group guys were in thick yellowfin. After a few hour run we joined them and it was unbelievable fishing on the 25-35 lb. fish. A really phenomenal hit. And we have beautiful weather to top it off. It was a good day.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday December 2 - We had excellent wide open fishing on the small yellowtail. You could catch all you wanted to, but we released almost all. The anglers kept about three apiece. We had scratch fishing on the tuna. They just don't want to show themselves. Our weather is excellent, as is the food. Great sashimi spread today.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Monday December 1 - We had a lot of action today, but the quality wasn't there. The guys kept a few small yellows, but most all were released. Our weather is great, just beautiful. We are hoping for a better day tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday November 30 - Today is a travel day. We have good weather while rolling down. Nice and sunny. We did the usual tackle seminar for everything from yellowtail to cow tuna. Of course, we are enjoying great company, fishy fish tales, and delicious food coming out of the galley. Real tasty prime rib last night. And the customers enjoyed being able to either have the special breakfast of the day, or Chef Jeff will also prepare to order some other breakfast choices. Reports sound good from down below so we are anxious to get there.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew\

Saturday November 29 - Well weighing in the big ones this morning was wonderful. We ended up with 13 over 200 lbs. and the big one weighed in at 306 lbs. We also had several in the 270 lb. range. It was great to see so many people at the dock to see the big fish get weighed in.

Thanks for coming down. And now we are off again with the "Tonk and friends" 10 day charter. Twenty two anxious anglers ready to do some battle of their own in hopes of some more of these great quality fish.

Wish us luck and thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew


Wednesday November 26 - Sorry for the long delay in getting a report out on our present trip. The passengers just got dropped off in Cabo to fly home in time to be with their family and friends for Thanksgiving.

This trip was nothing less than fantastic. Tom Pfleger had nine guests aboard, all experienced anglers and they put at least *14 tuna* on board *over* *200 lbs., *and *1* *over 300 lbs. * We also have the same amount in the 170-195 lb. range. And then the cherry on top was two excellent days of catching wahoo. We will arrive to the docks early Saturday morning and then turn around and depart on Tonk and Friends 1st annual 10 day trip. And in reflecting on being thankful this time of year, I am thankful for the great passengers we always seem to have on all of our trips year in and year out. An absolutely awesome crew that never stops giving it their all to each and every passenger to make sure they have a great trip. And of course my family and friends that support this adventure that I am so lucky to do, which to some is called work. We hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Tommy, Drew, Dave, Richie, Jed, Jeff and Mark


Friday November 14 - Guadalupe wasn't all we had hoped for. We got a handful of small grade tuna and a couple around 50 Lbs. Also a handful of yellowtail. We never got a chance to see the great white sharks.

They just didn't show up. The weather of course is beautiful. We will look around a little bit tomorrow and then head home. Our eta is 5:30 Sunday morning. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Thursday November 13 - We covered a lot of ground from daylight to dark in hopes of dorado, but no luck. No signs. We will be at Guadalupe tomorrow and hope the tuna are in a biting mood.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Wednesday November 12 - We scratched out 60 mixed fish today including 8 wahoo. Just no real big hits. A little action here and there. No real big size except for the wahoo. They are a nice grade. Our weather came down mid morning but got bumpy late in the day. We are going to do something outside of the box and go look for dorado and then on to Guadalupe for the last day of fishing in hopes of a better grade yellowfin.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday November 11 - Happy Veterans Day and on behalf of my family and crew, a big THANK YOU, to all the vets, active duty service men and women and their families. I'm sure you all had a better day celebrating  our vets than we had out here. We spent the day scouting for very little. We had a few of the smaller grade tuna, but no sign of the big tuna, dorado, or wahoo. In the evening we did have a little bite on the yellowtail. And while our weather was good, it was a slow day. One of those days you wish you could push a button and move 100 miles. We did have a delicious dinner of seafood alfredo with tuna and yellowtail grilled on the side and fresh asparagus. So we are off to bed hoping for a better day tomorrow. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Monday November 10 - Everyone had a good time today with some excellent fishing today on the 20-30 lb yellowfin tuna. We also pulled in a few grouper. Weather was choppy in the morning but got nice in the afternoon.

Thanks for checking in,

Tommy and crew

Sunday November 9 - Fantastic fishing today on the 30 lb. tuna. We had lots of good action in absolutely gorgeous weather. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Saturday November 8 - Fantastic fishing today in the morning on yellowtail. Most in the 10-12 lb range and we didn't keep but a handful. Spent the rest of the day looking for wahoo, dorado and yellowfin with not much luck except for a few wahoo. Our weather is spectacular. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday November 7 - Today is a travel day. We are lucky with some great weather. The group enjoyed swapping fish stories, our tackle seminar and some excellent Dorado enchiladas for lunch. We are getting our gear rigged and will be ready for action tomorrow. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Thursday November 6 - We departed today on Lon Mikkelsen's OTR (Ocean Tackle Research) annual charter. He likes to keep his charter limited so we departed with just 20 passengers. Many are repeats and a couple are new faces, but all are excited to get down below and get started.

We loaded up some nice looking bait and we are on our way. Our weather is unbelievable. It has been blowing for the past few days, but today is slick, flat, calm. Jeff welcomed the group with a tasty Cajun Mako shark dinner, with wild rice and grilled fresh zucchini and yellow squash. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew


Sunday November 2 - Woke up to some sloppy weather this morning, but then later it got nice for about five hours. But then it got sloppy again. We did however have good fishing on the yellowtail and tuna.

Looks like we might have a rough ride tomorrow. We will be into the dock on Tuesday morning. Check back or call for the ETA.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Saturday November 1 - Today was another lucky day with finding some wahoo that wanted to bite. Everyone had a shot at one. Our weather however is starting to kick up some.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Friday October 31 - Got lucky today and found the mother load of dorado. We fished the kelp patty for three hours of non-stop action.

Range was 12-18 lbs. We also release lots. Our weather is still good.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Thursday Oct. 30 - Great fishing again today on the tuna. The wahoo and dorado however are not accommodating us. Our weather is still just excellent.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Wednesday Oct. 29 - Slow fishing today. No luck on the giant yellowfin tuna. Plenty of potential for the future. Tomorrow we will head out for new fishing grounds. Our weather is still fantastic.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday Oct. 28 - Fishing today again was absolutely fantastic on the 25-35 lb yellowfin tuna. Everybody was tired and sore with only a couple of anglers left at the end of the day. And again our weather is just gorgeous. It was fun watching the tuna on giant bait balls of sardines right next to the hull. It's just tuna, tuna, tuna! Tomorrow we will be concentrating on looking for the bigger tuna. Wish us luck!

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Monday Oct. 27 - We had great fishing today on the 25-35 lb yellowfin tuna. We released at least twice as many as we caught. (18-25 pounders). Our weather couldn't be any better. Flat calm gorgeous.

Chef Jeff served up a delicious veal shank for dinner, and now it's off to bed to rest up for another day tomorrow. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday Oct. 26 - As expected, today was a travel day. The guys worked on getting their gear ready, and are anxious to get their lines wet.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sat Oct 25 - We departed today with Larry Brown's annual 10-day charter. All are regulars and a great bunch of guys. We loaded up some great bait, and our weather is good and looks like it will continue that way for the next few days. If you are thinking of coming out for a 10 day, give Susan a call in the office. We have just one spot left for 2008 on our November 6th trip with Lon Mikkleson of OTR. 10 days, limited to only 20 anglers. We don't over book.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew


Oct.23

My favorite way to end a trip. Anchored up in unbeatable weather catching cow yellowtail all day long. Yellowtail up to 40+ pounds. It's the morning after now and we're heading home in unbeatable weather today also. We deserve it after our last few rides home, let me tell ya. We'll be in Saturday morning at 6:00 departing on another 10 day. I'll talk to you then.

Drew and the unbeatable crew

Oct. 22

Mostly a travel day today putting ourselves in position to be at Cedros Island tomorrow for jumbo yellowtail. We swung wide and looked offshore for anything floating with wahoo under it but we were unsuccessful. We couldn't even find a scrap of kelp. Not even a piece of trash. Descent weather. Like I said, we'll be in search of the jumbos tomorrow. The dinner bell. Fillet mignon tonight, gotta go.

Oct. 21

We got the job done today. Incredible tuna fishing on 25-35 pounders. Just what the doctor ordered after two days of scarce hunting. Tomorrow we'll be offshore in a different mode, Wahoo.

Oct 20

We struck out again on big tuna. It was great marlin fishing and whale watching in the morning. Mid morning we found a harbor channel marker buoy # 21 drifting very far from where it was supposed to be. It of course had lots of dorado with it and Steve Pistone got his first wahoo ever, a 20 incher. No joke. The thing was 20 inches. Our afternoon honey hole didn't have much honey although we made a descent drift for tan groupers. We never found the evening push. We will try for bait tonight and do it again tomorrow.

Oct.19

We struck out on the big tuna today. We never saw anything that resembled a tuna. We did however find a floating branch LOADED with good size dorado. All you could've asked for. We hit it a few times and carried on the search. We will be searching another area tomorrow for big fish.

Oct.18

It was no barn burner today. No ball of fire. Just a steady pick all day long. A good grade of yellowfin with a sprinkling of dorado and yellowtail. We're going to spend the day tomorrow in search of big tuna. Gotta go, it's rack of lamb tonight.

Oct. 17

We found lots of green water today. The fish didn't bite well in that condition so we had to search for the clean blue water. We found that water mid afternoon and after a little bit of searching we found where to throw the anchor over. After that it was game on. Everyone caught fish until their arms hurt. Tuna, yellowtail, and a handful of dorado and wahoo. Steak and the beautiful Alaskan king crab legs that passenger Jim brought was the icing on the cake. Thanks Jim.

Wednesday Oct 15 - Just departed San Diego today on the Bunker Memorial 10-day trip after two nights in the beautiful city. Not much to report. We didn't do much besides some lite rigging up. Weather is great. I'll check back tomorrow.

Drew and da crew


Sat Oct. 11 - We had an excellent morning fishing the yellowtail. We are now heading home and having steak and lobster for dinner. We will be at the dock Monday morning. See you there.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday Oct 10 - We had another fantastic day fishing the 30 lb. class tuna. Our weather is beautiful. We are going to finish up our trip with some yellowtail fishing before heading home. The guys are having a great time. We've had good fishing, good company and good food. And on that last note, for dinner we had a really good honey dijon mustard crusted wahoo. Just superb. Our next trip is full but if you have some time our 10 day with Larry Brown on Oct. 25 still has some open spots. He has over 15 sponsors for many freebies and raffles. Give Susan a call in the office. 619-390-7890 Also the 2009 schedule is up. Check it out for next year.

Thanks for checking in,

Tommy and crew

Thursday Oct 9 - Excellent weather. No worries on the hurricane. It is no where near us, or even close to us. We had fantastic fishing on 18-35 lb. grade tuna. We also had good fishing on small grade yellowtail. And the dorado we caught the other day paid off in some delicious dorado enchiladas for lunch! Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Wednesday Oct. 8 - Dorado fishing was really good again today. Seems like we couldn't go anywhere without being in the thick of them. We pretty much released all of the dorado today, however we did get a dozen or so wahoo for our efforts. The weather is is great, really beautiful. Tomorrow we are going to bust a move and hunt for some tuna.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Tuesday Oct. 7 - We had a great day fishing dorado in absolutely gorgeous weather. We also picked up a few wahoo, but no signs of tuna.

They were conspicuously absent. We are a little concerned that we don't even see them around. We hope to see some signs of them tomorrow.

Dinner tonight was a great rack of lamb.

Thanks for checking in

Tommy and crew

Monday Oct. 6 - Today was a travel day. Our weather is still good. We spent our time rigging and sharing more stories. These guys are full of them. It's a lot of fun to sit and listen to them. We will arrive tomorrow at the fishing grounds. Wish us luck.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Sunday Oct. 5 - We departed today on an 8 day charter with Le Roy Belardes and the Old Wild Bunch. And what a great group it is. There are quite a few guys here that fished with me 30 years ago! (Am I really that old?) It was great sharing memories of the past years, both theirs and mine. We are traveling in good weather and enjoyed a prime rib dinner to welcome the group. We will update tomorrow. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew


Saturday Oct. 4 - We had full speed fishing today offshore on kelp patties. However for the most part, the yellowtail and dorado we were catching were small. So we released all but a few. We did however get some nice grade yellowfin. No big hits, but good action as we picked away at 30 lb. yellowfin. Jeff prepared a great Cajun chicken with avocado, mozzarella and fresh salsa for lunch. And as we head in tonight he is serving us steak and lobster. We will hit the dock tomorrow morning at 8:00am. We will be departing tomorrow on an 8-day trip with "The Old Wild Bunch" headed up by Le Roy Belardes. If you are thinking of coming out fishing we still have some open spots with Larry Brown on his 10-day departing October 25th. Highly sponsored with lots of raffles and giveaways. Give Susan a call at 619-390-7890.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Friday Oct. 3 - Today we scratched away at a nice grade of yellowtail. Our weather is calm and we had a fun day of island fishing. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Thursday Oct. 2 - Today was greatly disappointing after such a great fishing yesterday. Our efforts for better quality fish did not pay off. We saw great signs of 80-100 lb. fish but they just didn't want to cooperate. They would boil up good and look promising, but we only got a handful of fish. We are going to leave this place and give it time to straighten out. We are going to look for a new area. Our weather is still absolutely premium. Warm, hot and balmy. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Wednesday Oct. 1 - We had an absolutely wonderful day fishing today. We had the most flat calm weather and the tuna fishing was as good as it gets. It was all offshore on sonar schools and meter marks. The fish were all 20-32 lbs. and few bigger. It was a good day to be on the water.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday September 30 - Well we are back out on the water. We departed today on a 5-day with 24 anxious anglers. There are some new faces mixed in with some regulars. Our weather looks like it is going to be good. We will be heading for open water to look for tuna. Dinner tonight was a superb prime rib, with fresh vegetables and potato.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy, Drew, Dave, Richie, Jed, Jeff and Mark


Friday Sept. 19 - The morning started off right with steady tuna and yellowtail fishing shortly after daylight. We remained until 10 am when we pulled it and tried to finish off with some more wahoo. We had a few stops for a dozen skin and are now headed home. We have had a great trip with an outstanding group of anglers, excellent weather and delicious food. We will be traveling the rest of today and tomorrow and arrive at the dock on Sunday. You can call the office on Saturday night for our ETA. 619-390-7890 Thanks for checking in.

Drew and crew

Thursday Sept. 18 - Hard to beat the day we had yesterday, but we did.

We improved the already outstanding trip we have going with a taste of wahoo. Found a little honey hole and caught a fair amount on several drifts. When that tried up a few hours later we anchored up and had good tuna fishing from three until dark. The tuna were 25-40 lbs with some in the 70 lb. class. We'll stay the night and will fish half day tomorrow.

Thanks,

Drew and crew

September 14 - Trip summary so far...

Still having issues with the data link on the sat phone and computer so it's been tough to try to get the reports out.  However the fishing is the complete opposite.  So far the trip is going perfectly as planned for the fishing.  Our first morning we had excellent fishing on good quality yellowtail.  From there we went outside and had great fishing on the dorado and got our limits.  The next day we had epic tuna fishing from 22-80 lbs.  Our weather has been excellent the whole time.  And our food has been no less than great, from the best cheeseburger in the world to the most tender flavorful fillet mignon.  We will be hunting the wahoo tomorrow and hope our luck will continue.                                    

The office has one cancellation on the 8-day trip leaving October 5th.  And if you want a 10-day, Larry Brown still has open spots on his Oct 25th trip.  Come out and join me and Tommy if you can.                    

Thanks for checking in.

Drew and crew (which I must say is outstanding!)


Wednesday September 3 - Where'd they go?? We got a few wahoo today, but nothing like yesterday. Our day consisted of scratching away at yellowfin, yellowtail, pargo, dorado, and wahoo on some different spots. Don't get me wrong. It was not a bad day fishing, just not like yesterday. Our weather is still good. Actually it's too hot, the water is 83 degrees. Not bad for the fish, but warm for us. Tomorrow we will be off shore kelping for wahoo, dorado and tuna until it's time to head home and wind up this fantastic trip. It's going to be a great fall season. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday September 2 - Wow, absolutely phenomenal fishing on the wahoo today.  We fished daybreak to dark in two main spots.  Wahoo everywhere we went.  Lures, bombs, bait and trolling all worked.  The anglers had a fantastic time in nice calm weather.  We will be checking out a couple spots tomorrow and have another full day to fish the wahoo.  Today Jeff prepared wahoo enchiladas for lunch and he absolutely nailed it.  They were sooo good.  Wish us luck for tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Monday September 1 - Tuna fishing was good again today with nice quality tuna. We took off mid-day to hunt for some dorado and wahoo on kelps in the afternoon, but no luck. We will be on the Ridge tomorrow to sweep for wahoo. Our lunch today was an outstanding fresh tuna fillet with avocado, lettuce, tomato and wasabi sauce. We will update again tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Sunday August 31 - Wow, I think we have to pinch ourselves to make sure it's real. We had an unbelievable day. You could throw a bait in the water any time from day break to dark and catch a tuna. Some anglers released as many as 15 tuna in the 35-45 lb. class. We also scratched a few wahoo. After a delicious dinner of a veal shank, fresh asparagus and red potatoes all our guys and one lady went to bed very tired. Our weather is gorgeous and we are looking forward to another fantastic day tomorrow. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

P.S. Susan said we still have one open spot on the Sept. 14th trip and a couple on October 25th if you can come out and experience some of this great fall fishing. Give her a call 619-390-7890

Saturday August 30 - We started fishing in the dark and went full speed all day long on beautiful grade tuna 30-40 lbs. with several in the 80-120 lb. class being caught on the kite. We had several heart breakers with the sharks eating some of the big ones. The day was spiced up with a handful of wahoo. Our weather is absolutely gorgeous.

Flat calm heavy overcast. We had a great day and are excited to try it again tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Friday August 29 - We traveled all day in excellent weather. We just rigged, rigged, rigged and ate, ate, ate.

We are excited to get to where we are going. Check in tomorrow for our report.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Thursday August 28 - We departed this morning nice and early with Garry Roberts and 19 other anglers for Garry's annual charter. We got a good load of bait, the weather is nice and everyone is excited to see what the next 9 days will bring. Wish us luck and we will keep you posted.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew


Wednesday August 27 - We fished this morning without much luck.  The one that we did hook the shark ate.  So this will be another chapter for Bob Vance in his charter diary.  Everybody had a great time and we look forward to seeing them all back again next year for Bob's annual trip. 

We will be in to the dock at 5:30am.  We depart on Garry Roberts 9-day tomorrow morning.  Myself as well as the crew are anxious to get down to Alijos.  The fishing reports have been really good and we are looking forward to having our own great reports.  Wish us luck, or better yet come join us and enjoy the great fall fishing.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Tuesday August 26 - Today we enjoyed the calm comforts of the island. 

We scratched all day on nice quality yellowfin tuna.  All in the 35-45 lb range.  There were larger ones that were hooked but the the great whites had their way with us.  Some anglers lost as many as two in the 60lb class due to the toothy critters.  It was a good show and pretty impressive to see a 12-16' great white eat a 60 lb tuna in a couple of bites.  We also had some pretty impressive bites as our dinner was an excellent Parmesan encrusted yellowtail with rice pilaf and a mixture of zucchini, mushrooms and onions.  Tomorrow morning we will give it one more shot here.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Monday August 25 - Absolutely a great day of fishing. From day light on we had excellent fishing on school grade yellowtail.  Our weather is good and everyone is having a great time.  We are off to look for tuna tomorrow.  We celebrated with Alex Zarifis as he turned 80 today!  Great way to spend your birthday.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday August 24 - We traveled down to do some island fishing and late in the day we got into some excellent quality yellowtail.  However, it wasn't going to stop there.  Our evening bite was fantastic.  Absolutely beautiful big yellowtails.  Most all were over 30 lbs and lots over 40 lbs.  Today was a fun day to be on the water.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

P.S.  We still have a couple open spots on Garry Robert's 9-day.  The fishing has been great at Alijos.  Come out and join me and Drew.  It's going to be a great trip.

Saturday August 23 - Today we departed on Bob Vance's annual 5-day charter.  It's always great to see Bob and his group.  He is one of our longest running charters, and while there are always a couple new faces, there a quite a few that have been with Bob since the beginning.  We spent the day traveling, preparing our gear, and dined on a monstrous

grilled steak and potato for dinner.   We are underway and anxious to

get our lines in the water.  Check in tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew


Friday August 22 - We our ending our trip with a scratch day of yellowtail and dorado.  Our weather continues to be good and we will hit the dock tomorrow at 7am.

Thursday August 21 - Arrived at our fishing destination today at 9:30am.  As soon as we put the anchor down we were going full speed on a very nice grade of yellowtail.  The small ones were 16 lbs. and then went up to over 30 lbs.  The weather again is beautiful.. We headed up the line and got to where we were going before dark to fish a couple hours for rock cod and then we headed west into the offshore mode. 

Scallops and fresh yellowtail for dinner.  Very tasty.

Thanks for checking in.

Drew and crew

Wednesday August 20 - This morning we had a passenger who was having a medical problem and had to be airlifted off.  We were lucky as Coast Guard was near by rescuing some people off a sailboat.  So it was very quick and efficient.  Last report is he is doing well.  Fishing today was ok.  We got some jig strikes for a handful of tuna above the island.  In the afternoon we got the anchor down and continued to fish the tuna until a shark shut us down.  So we moved to another spot that had good signs of tuna.  But even though they were showing well they did not want to bite.  The yellowtail however did bite and we got some big hombart yellowtail for about an hour and a half until the shark found us from the previous spot and shut us down again.  So we tried to out smart him and swung back up to the original spot and got into some 20-55 pounders.  Tomorrow we will be in a different area and should be fishing by 9:30 tomorrow morning.  Our weather is ok.  There was some wind going

down, but not a bad ride.   And it was beautiful calm in the lee of the

island.  Chef Rick is on board this trip and made a great roasted chicken with a garlic cream sauce, zucchini and rice.  And dessert was Death by Chocolate.  Really good.  Thanks for checking in.

Drew and crew

Tuesday August 19 - We arrived at the dock this morning at 7:30 and would like to thank Ron Heil again for putting such a great group together.  We look forward to seeing you all again next year.  We are off again with the Let's Talk Hook-up charter.  Pete was unable to come but we have Ryan, who is also from the show, as our charter head. 

Needless to say he was happy to step in for Pete.  Wish us luck and check in again tomorrow.

Drew and crew


Monday August 18 - We started off with a good morning bite where Jeff Hoover pull in a 78 lb. bluefin.  We also caught some smaller grade bluefin and a nice grade of yellowfin.  However it was short lived.  By 9am we were off scratching for small, medium and nice grade albacore for the rest of the day.  For this trip we scratched away every day and caught enough fish for everyone to take home.  Our eta for tomorrow will be 7:30 am and then Drew will take out the next one which is the 2nd annual Let's Talk Hook-up Charter.  Weather has been excellent.  Well it's time to go down for dinner.  Tonight will be surf and turf, steak and lobster.  Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday August 17 - Again another scratch fishing day with the usual mix of yellowtail, yellowfin, bluefin, albacore and dorado.  No big numbers, we just scratched away.  We spent the morning in the tuna area and mid morning to the end of the day we went looking for kelps and caught and released a lot of small dorado.  The weather again has been  excellent. 

The most interesting thing is that everybody is getting albacore strikes anywhere they go.  We are hoping the water will cool off in the next week and the albacore will start to group up and bite.  Chef Jeff is still serving up some great food.  An open faced steak sandwich for lunch and dinner was a superb cajun yellowtail filet and shrimp grilled with bell peppers and onions, served with fresh yellow squash, zuchinni and mushrooms and wild rice.  It was really good.  It looks like Alijos and the Ridge are starting off good.  The crew and I are anxious to get down on a longer trip for some of those bigger yellowfin and wahoo.  We still have a couple open spots on our 9-day departing August 28.  And if your looking more into the future, Larry Brown still has some openings on his 10 day on October 25th.   So come out and join me and the crew. 

We'd love to have you on board.

Thanks,

Tommy

Saturday August 16 - Today's numbers were better. We had a lot more fish, just not a real good size to them. The albacore and bluefin are around 12 lbs. with a few bigger. The yellowfin are bigger, around 25-30 lbs. Weather is still good.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday August 15 - Fishing today was sporadic. It had it's moments, but overall we just scratched with a variety of Albacore, Bluefin, Yellowfin, Yellowtail and Dorado. It was a pretty even mix of everything. Our weather continues to be excellent. So we will try again tomorrow and hope for more of the same, but a little bit better.

It's time for dinner. Chicken Cordon Blu is on the menu for tonight.

So we will check in again tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

P.S. It looks like the long range season is starting off really good from the reports we have heard. We still have 3 spots on Garry Roberts 9-day on August 28. And if that's too long check out the new 1 1/2 day trips in September, or maybe our last 5-day on September 30. Call Susan 619-390-7890

Thursday August 14 - We departed today on the Dan Heil Memorial charter with his son Ron Heil as charter head.  It's pretty cool to see some of the old faces.  Dan's charter has been with me for over 25 years.  We were in a panic rush to get out and get to the local fishing grounds before dark.  We got about three good hours of fishing and snagged a handful of yellowfin, a bluefin and a beautiful opah.  Our weather is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

P.S. Two spots left on the "Let's Talk Hookup" charter departing next Tuesday.


Wednesday August 13 - Well we wound up the last day of fishing with some good offshore action on kelp patties.  Everybody pulled on a lot of fish and kept 2 or 3 nice quality yellowtail and dorado to take home. 

Weather is absolutely superb.  And so was our final dinner, steak and lobster.  We'd like to thank Eric Rogger and his group for such a fun trip.  ETA tomorrow will be 6am and then we will be departed on another 5 day.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Tuesday August 12 - We got a little bit of something throughout the whole day.  Everywhere we went we got yellowtail, but no real bug hits. 

Our morning bite had great quality but not as many as yesterday.  Our weather is still good because of the island.  Tomorrow we will be in open water on patties looking for dorado, tuna and yellowtail.  Great fresh yellowtail and shrimp scampi for dinner.  Check in tomorrow for our report.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

P.S We still have 3 spots on the 8/19 four day charter with "Let's Talk Hook-up"!

Monday August 11 - The day started in the dark with some great fishing on quality yellowtail.  After daybreak we still had good fishing on the school grade yellowtail with an 18 lb. average until noontime.  And then the afternoon took a powder and we couldn't find anything to catch.  The weather offshore is rough but we are hiding behind an island and are in good weather.  Dinner was a tasty Cornish game hen, fresh veggies, wild rice and a really good hot brownie pudding cake.  Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday August 10 - Fishing was a little tough off shore today.  There was yellowfin for everyone and we got a few dorado on kelp, but not the big hits like we have been getting.  Fished the island with very little signs and only a handful of yellowtail.  Tomorrow we will be looking around the island.  Weather is decent, and looks like it will be getting better tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in,

Tommy and crew

Saturday August 9 - We departed today on Eric Rogger's annual ultra light load (19 passengers) 5-day trip. Eric always puts together a great group of anglers and this year is no exception. We have a couple of father daughter, father son pairs. This year we have had a few of trips go out with multi generations fishing together and as well as having a great time fishing, they are building great memories together.

So we are on the hunt for fish. Our weather is ok. Not flat calm, but it is ok. Tonight chef Jeff pleased everyone with a delicious rack of lamb, with a honey mustard glaze on the side. Fresh sauteed vegetables and roasted potatoes. Thanks for checking in. We will update again tomorrow.

Tommy, Drew, Dave, Richie, Joey, Jed and Jeff


Friday August 8 - Great boat, great crew, great food, great passengers, good weather, slow fishing. That's just the way it went down on this day and a half. We were in tuna mode trying for nice quality albacore.

We scratched 26 and some yellows and let go lots of flats. Descent amount of fish seen at times throughout the day, but they didn't climb on our hooks. Hopefully soon coming and more consistent. Next trip is a 5 day, so stay tuned.

Drew and crew


Sunday August 3 - Today was tough for the first 3/4's of the day looking for 30-40 lb. yellowtail and we only picked up a 1/2 dozen. by late afternoon we bailed out and went for the 20 pounders and had excellent time winding up our yellowtail fishing for the trip. Tomorrow we will be strictly concentrating of Dorado and any tuna we might find. The weather is still spectacular.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Saturday August 2 - Fishing today was absolutely fantastic. The morning started out slow. We were scratching on the anchor. We thought we were in for another slow day. But we made a move to a new area and had some phenomenal fishing on some nice grade yellowtail. Beautiful average of about 22 lbs or so. We were fishing with a porpoise school and sharks.

Lots of surface iron. Lots of action. Weather is good. Nice and sunny in the afternoon. Tomorrow we'll be be looking for some cow yellowtail.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday August 1 - The morning started our ok. We scratched yellows for about 4 hours and kelps patties. Little sign of dorado. As the day progressed it got tougher with few patties. Overall it was a slow day.

Our weather is still great. Tomorrow we our on our way to do some Island fishing. Wish us luck.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and the crew


Thursday July 31 - We departed today with Chaparro's annual lite load charter.  This is his 10th year!  A fun group as always and the guys are anxious to get their lines wet.  We got a nice load of bait and headed out west looking for albacore and yellowfin with only a few landed. 

There were plenty of seiners.  Our weather continues to be good.  As we dine on steak and lobster we are looking forward to tomorrow to do some kelping.  Our web master who handles all our updates will be out fishing himself for the next few days, so there won't be any reports posted until Thursday.  Give Susan a call if you have any questions.  Thanks and wish us luck.

Tommy and crew

Wednesday July 30 - Fishing was not wide open today.  The guys topped off with the yellowtail for the trip.  They also had good fishing on the dorado on a couple of different kelp patties.  Our weather continues to be great.  As we travel home to make our 6:00am arrival tomorrow we will be dining on Pedro's exquisite prime rib dinner.  Come see us at the dock or better yet book a trip and come out with us.  Tomorrow we'll be heading out on Tom Chaparro's annual 5 day, 18 passenger, lite load charter.  So check in again in a day or so.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Tuesday July 29 - Fishing today was somewhat subdued. We gave Guadalupe a check to see if the tuna have arrived without much luck. We picked up 5 yellow fin and spent most of the day rocked by home guard yellowtail.

Our weather is gorgeous in the lei of the island. We will be back offshore tomorrow for some hot kelp patty action. It's first call for dinner tonight. Sauteed shrimp with tomato, garlic and parsley. So we will be back with you tomorrow.

Thanks

Tommy and crew

Monday July 28 - Fishing in the morning started slow.  Several schools of yellowtail with no success.  But by mid-morning things started to happen.  They bit well into the late afternoon.  The guys released lots of the yellowtail.  We then took off off shore for kelp patties with yellowfin, but only found a few dorado.  Our weather is good.  Tomorrow we are going to go looking for yellowfin.  Dinner tonight was Drew's favorite Osso Buso with parmesan potatoes and veggies.  Really tasty. 

We still have open spots on the 1 1/2 day departing August 7th, and the Let's Talk Hookup charter on August 19th has one spot.  So give Susan a call in the office and come out and join us!

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday July 27 - We had a great day fishing open water on the yellowtail up to 25 lbs, and dorado up to 20 lbs.   Our weather is excellent.  It couldn't be any better.  Today was just a fantastic day.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Saturday July 26 - Took off today on a 5-day and we are hearing that the albacore took off in the morning but then died, but the prospects for yellowtail are great. So we will look for the yellowtail first thing in the morning. Our weather is absolutely gorgeous. For dinner we dined on a boneless Cornish Game hen with a summer favorite, fresh zucchini, and a side of fettuccini. Very tasty.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and Crew


Friday July 25 - We fished kelps today for some very good yellowtail fishing.  We had two good kelps by lunch so we made a move and traveled 30 miles to catch tuna.  However we were unsuccessful.  We found one good school that boiled and ate the jigs, but wouldn't react any further.  We hit another kelp late in the afternoon and scratched a few more yellowtail and dorado.  Our weather is beautiful.  It was a great group and great trip.

Thanks,

Drew and crew


Saturday July 19 - We got into the albacore grounds late in the morning. Most of the guys there already had a mix of around 30 albacore and yellowfin. We struggled and just couldn't find the right school until about 4:00 in the afternoon. Then it was wide open albacore fishing until 6:30. As we sat down to a superb dinner of Veal chops with Port and Mushroom sauce we reflected on what had started as a brutally tough day had turned into a simply great day!

We will definitely stay here and try this again tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy

Friday July 18 - We had an absolutely fantastic day fishing yellowtail in flat clam weather. Most were in the 16-22 lb range with some around

25 lbs. Late in the afternoon we received information from one of our code boats that he found a good area of albacore so we are off and on our way. We will have two days to fish the albacore. This is the first good hit in about six days and it is a new area so we are very excited.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Thursday July 17 - We had some good fishing on the yellows today around

12-18 pounds with some at 25 lbs. We released 100's of smaller ones.

There was plenty of action. The guys are having a great time. Our weather is ok not great, not bad. There is a little bit better sign of albacore. They are improving from what it has been recently. We will fish the yellowtail again tomorrow and save the last couple of days for tuna fishing. For dinner we had turkey breast with sausage bread stuffing and a sage wine sauce. So goodnight and wish us good luck for tomorrow!

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Wednesday July 16 - We departed today on Don Fischbeck's annual 5-day charter, but without our charter head Don! Don we will miss you at the rail but we will bring some fish home for you. Don't be working too hard! Today the reports off shore are slow but there is some action at a few of the islands. So we loaded up with some good looking bait and are hoping for a possitive change for the albacore. Pedro is in the galley getting ready for dinner tonight which is going to be grilled tenderloin of beef with a red wine sauce. So we will update again tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew


July 15th - We spent our last day up with the local fleet jigging up some albacore and blue fin. The morning started off full of action but it didn't last long. We spent the rest of the day getting one here and two there until dark. It's amazing how you can see such good signs of tuna one day and two days later it disappears.

That's fishing. I found out one of my favorite meals out here is the Pork Oso Buso. It's incredible. And who can complain about last night's surf and turf? Rib eye and lobster. Oh yeah. The next trip's a 5-day. Wish us luck and check back.

Drew and crew

Monday the 14th - We didn't see a whole lot of action the next day aside from a couple handfuls of blue fin until late afternoon when we drove into an area of kelps. We had one stop with a nice hit on 15-25 lb. yellowtail and 2 fatso nose dragging albacore. We hit a couple more kelps with mostly smaller yellows we let go and one more kelp that we got another hit off of. A few more single jig strikes on albacore and a nice 25 lb. dorado later, it was dark.

 Sunday the 13th. We departed the harbor after getting bait and doing the whole lunch, seminars, and rigging up thing we drug some jigs back for a couple hours before dark with no success.


Saturday July 12 - Very good sign of albacore/bluefin today.  There were spots up puddling and boiling around everywhere.  Not too many big schools though, so it was good scratching from daylight to dark.  The tuna are from 12-40 lbs.  Mostly 20-30 pounders.  Some of the bluefin we've seen jumping are over 100 lbs., but we haven't gotten close enough to even try.  Weather couldn't be better.  It's like we're fishing in the bay.  We'll be at the dock tomorrow morning and departing on another 3-day.  It's prime rib night and just heard 1st call so see ya!

Drew and crew

Friday July 11 - We got out yesterday with a great group of anglers.

Our weather is gorgeous. The water is glassy and there is no wind. In the afternoon we chased some blue fin that didn't want to bite and an hour before dark we got into some albacore and landed a couple. Today the weather is still beautiful. Some of the best I've seen. We had a great day fishing the yellowtail on a bunch of kelp. We also had a couple of good stops on the blue fin and albacore. It was a really good day and we are staying here tonight and try to do it again tomorrow.

Our dinner was prawn kabobs with a spicy peanut sauce, with peas and rice. Very tasty.

Thanks for checking in.

Drew and Crew

Thursday July 10 - We arrived today with a fantastic catch of Albacore, Blue fin and Yellowtail. Jackpot was a 42.4 lb. albacore with second and third both at 40 lbs. It was a great group and we look forward to having you all back again next year. Drew will be departing today on a 3-day. Prospects look good.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Wednesday July 9 - Yesterday morning we had some good fishing and the albacore and some great fishing on the yellowtail. Midday we got a nice round on the bluefin and late in the day we were back with the albacore biting full speed. It was a fantastic day. Weather was good and is still nice today. This morning we had a nice hit on the albacore. We have had some requests in the office to post the meals we serve on board, so we'll start putting some of that information on as well. Last night Chef Pedro served a wonderful duck breast fillet served in natural pan sauce. It was excellent. The night before we dined on salmon with a lemon, butter caper sauce. Also very tasty.

Some of our lunches on this trip were pork carnitas, with all the toppings and sides, and one day we had chicken marinara with pasta. Food and fishing is excellent! Paul Hess's group has also been excellent.

We will be into the dock tomorrow morning at 6am.

Thanks for checking in!

Tommy and crew

Tuesday July 8 - Yesterday morning the fishing was great, but mid-day the fish went down.  About 4pm we were back into some great action on the albacore and smaller grade blue fin.  We also had some really nice hits on the yellowtail.  Our weather yesterday and today is good.  Today started slow with only a handful of albacore and bluefin.  However the yellowtail fishing is fantastic!

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Monday July 7 - Fishing yesterday was absolutely fantastic.  The grade of albacore that we were catching was beautiful with half being 30-40 lbs. and the other half averaging 22 lbs.  Weather yesterday and today is excellent.  This morning we are already into albacore, blue fin and yellow fin.  Looks like a another great day on the water.  Check our schedule if you want to come out and get into some of this good fishing.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday July 6 - Well late in the day yesterday we got into a good school of albacore. They bite well and everybody was hung on the boat. It was a wild afternoon and we ended up with a nice round of albacore. This morning we are in a new area. Prospects look good and we've had a handful so far. We are coming up on a really good looking spot so I will update again later.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

July 5 Saturday - We departed nice and early on Paul Hess's annual 5-day charter. Every year Paul puts together a great group of guys. Most are always repeat customers, but I saw one or two new faces this year.

Everyone is anxious to get out there and get their lines wet. The prospects look good for albacore, yellowtail and yellow fin. Our weather is good for the start and lets hope it stays nice. Thanks for checking in!

Tommy and crew


Sunday June 22 - Excellent, excellent yellowtail fishing again today. 

No signs of any black sea bass.  We are enjoying absolutely fantastic weather.  And everyone is having a great time.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Saturday June 21 - Fishing today was great on the yellowtail.  Just magnificent quality.  We also topped off with catching and releasing 9 black sea bass and several larger ones that were loss.  Our weather is also really good.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

6/20

I apologize but we are having problems sending out emails from the boat so I couldn't give a daily report.  It should soon be taken care of.  Our first day was mostly a travel day due to the lack of fish offshore.  We were in great looking water most of the day but could not find any fish to work with.  That seems to be the trend offshore lately.  The next two days we fished for yellowtail at the beautiful island of Cedros.  Our first day there we scratched most of the day on anchor doing well on the great great quality fish.  They are averaging close to 30 pounds this year again.  In the late afternoon we took a tour and found big balls of the yellows at the surface feeding on krill.  They were being very stubborn and didn't care to much about us but were very interested in the krill they were eating.  Jerks. After a great nights sleep in the calm of the island we began our next day.
We had very good fishing.  The grade was a bit smaller averaging 15-20 pounds but that is still quality fish.  They were hitting good for most of the morning.  Just after lunch it sizzled out so we went in search of some more trophies.  We found them but again they sure didn't bite like you would have thought.  We had 30 more of the trophies before taking off up the line to put us in position to fish offshore for tuna our last day. 
We found an area of jumping bluefin late morning and fished two hours there before we had to head home.  We tried quite a few different spots and they laid under the boat each time for as long as we sat there but were reluctant to bite.  We caught two bluefin from 25-35 pounds and lost a nice albacore.  I'm pretty excited about what I saw offshore today.  It looked much better than it has in the past week.  The water is warmer and cleaner and there is fish in it.  The offshore season is here.  Thank you once again Mr. Larry Brown and to all the kids and dads aboard this trip.
Me and my crew had a blast.
 Drew
and the greatest crew around.
 

6/15

Our first day of Larry Brown's fathers day 5 day trip was spent offshore hunting the elusive albacore and blue fin tuna. We came up short. Although we were in good water most of the day, we did not find any tuna at all. Much travel needed to be done today to put us in position for our day tomorrow. Weather is good.

Drew and the super crew.


Thursday June 12 - We had a fun day fishing beautiful quality yellowtail.  Most were 30 lbs. or larger.  Our weather is gorgeous.  We will be heading off to look for bluefin and albacore tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy

Wednesday June 11 - We scratched away at some excellent grade yellowtail today. Really nice quality. Most over 30 lbs. The weather is flat calm, gorgeous. We hope the volume of fish we are seeing will bite better tomorrow. Susan said we still have some open spots on the upcoming five days if you can get away give her a call.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Tuesday June 10 - Very little signs of Albacore and Blue fin. Beautiful weather and good water. The albacore that were caught by the fleet for the day were very small, 7-11 lbs. And there was very few blue fin with them. Heading to yellowtail grounds tomorrow.

Tommy and crew

Monday June 9 - We departed today on Joe Beck's 5-day charter. Good group of guys, good weather, now let's hope for some good fishing.

Thanks,

Tommy


June 7 Saturday - Well, fishing was cut short as we had to perform an emergency air evacuation for a passenger. Coast Guard did their job with perfection and the reports are the passenger is going to be ok.

Some blue fin were caught for the day and a yellow fin. We will be back at the dock tomorrow and head out on Joe Beck's 5 day on Monday. We still have some open spots on his trip and a couple on the father/son, father/daughter trip with Larry Brown on June 14th. Give Susan a call if you can come out and join us.

Thanks,

Drew and crew

June 6 Friday - We didn't have to go too far to get some good action on the albacore. Everyone hooked and landed some. Weather is good. We will head into blue fin territory tomorrow. Thanks for checking in.

Drew and crew

June 5 Thursday - We departed today on a private charter with 21 passengers. We hear the weather is coming down so we are anxious to get to the fishing grounds. We should be there tomorrow morning.

 

 

 


Wed. Jan. 23 - Well, we had a great day today. Everybody had a blast fishing lots 60 -100 lb. tuna. Pat Jaeger landed a 195 and a 213 pounder. Chuegy pulled in a 225 pounder. There were a couple more around 165 or so. We did stop at lunch for a delicious pork shank with spiced white beans and saffron pilaf. It was really good. And our weather is also good. So another wonderful day out here. Look at our schedule and find a trip that will work in your schedule and come out and have some fun.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Tues. Jan. 22 - This morning was slow and the weather was rough. We lost a couple of nice fish because of the weather, but as the afternoon came so did good weather and really good fishing. Roger got a pair of bookends now as he landed another big tuna weighing in at 255 lbs. Most of the fish were 120-170 lbs. Fun afternoon. Dinner was an incredible roasted duck, my favorite. We are hoping for good weather and more great fishing tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Mon. Jan. 21 - We arrived at noon and had a good hit on the 80-100 lb tuna, but we didn't see anything bigger. Weather is sloppy again, but got nice in the afternoon when we went looking around. So we will keep looking for the big ones and check back with you tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Sun.  Jan. 20 - Traveled all day. Our agenda is eat, sleep and travel. Should arrive at noon. Weather is good now and we like it this way. Lunch was pork shiskabobs with whole wheat soba noodles. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sat. Jan. 19 - The wahoo fishing has greatly diminished. Since we have plenty on board, we decided to take off to the tuna grounds where the reports have been good. We should be there in 48 hours. Weather is sloppy, choppy.

Tommy and crew

Friday Jan. 18 - Well so much for the great weather staying with us.

Today was rough and choppy. However, the wahoo fishing made up for it.

Fishing on the wahoo was fantastic. The tuna on the other hand were nonexistent. But man did we have a fun day. Dinner of course was fresh wahoo encrusted in macadamia nuts with a lemon butter sauce. Very moist and juicy. Saffron rice and mixed fresh veggies also adorned the plate. Great day, great fishing.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Thursday Jan 17 - Fished for a couple of hours this morning with no signs of larger grade tuna so we left and will be fishing in a different spot tomorrow. Had a Oriental noodle salad this afternoon that was out of this world. Really good. Our weather continues to be in the beautiful category and we are all enjoying that. Wish us luck for some of those bigger fish. We'll check in tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Wednesday Jan 16 - Another travel day to get to the tuna grounds. Good weather and good food. Fresh tuna steaks with oriental fresh vegetables for lunch and a tasty New York steak for dinner. We are ready to get our lines wet. Wish us luck. By the way, those of you up around Sacramento, go to the boat show and look for Dave Dunham in the Polaris Supreme booth. He will be in there to answer all your questions and take your reservation. 2008 is going to be a great season. Come join us.

Tommy and crew

Tues. Jan. 15 - Fishing was slow today. We had a handful of fish weighing in at 70-170 lbs. We are going to make a move and go look for bigger and better. Weather is still beautiful. Dinner was a delicious sautéed veal cutlet, pasta and roasted fresh veggies.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Mon. Jan. 14 - Wow what a great first day fishing. Kicked it off on some great quality tuna. Cowboy came in first with a 288 pounder and Roger had a tight second with a 255 pounder. Most of the rest had fish around the 175 lb. class. There was also good fishing on fish 30-40 and 60-100 lbs. Our weather is absolutely gorgeous. We did stop long enough to enjoy some carde asada tacos with fresh, homemade guacamole and salsa.

And dinner was mahi mahi and shrimp. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy

Sun Jan. 13 - Well another carbon copy of yesterday. Traveling in beautiful weather, nice and calm. Rigging gear and eating great food like Huevos Rancheros in the am and rack of lamb for dinner. Sounds like those of you that didn't stay home to watch the *_CHARGERS WIN THEIR FOOTBALL GAME_* went to the boat show in San Mateo had a good time. Dave said he had a chance to talk to a lot of new customers. We look forward to having you as well as our wonderful repeat customers on board the Polaris Supreme.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy

Saturday Jan. 12 - Today was spent traveling in good, but foggy weather. Basically we just rigged tackle and ate a bacon, avocado, sprout omelet for breakfast. Rigged more gear and had a giant Texas cheeseburger for lunch. Rigged more gear then snacked on salmon, tuna, shrimp and eel sushi and sashimi. Rigged more gear and finished off the day with a beef tenderloin with a tomato, basil pesto sauce. Just rigging and eating and anxious to get to the fishing grounds!

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tommy and crew


Saturday Dec.1 - Good fishing in the morning with 70 to 100 pound fish. Most again were released. Late in the day we got lucky with two more big fish. Young Gunnar got another one over 200, and Charlie got one right at 200. Just a great trip with George Davis and his group, and an awesome crew. We will be into the Cape tomorrow to drop off the passengers to fly home and be at Fisherman's Landing on Wednesday.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Friday Nov. 30 - Excellent, excellent fishing on 70-170 lb tuna until about 1pm. Most all of the fish were released. We looked hard late in the afternoon, but a front came up and the weather got rough. One more day for us, wish us luck.

Thanks for checking in,

Tommy and crew

Thursday Nov. 29 - Real good fishing today in the morning on 70-125 lb. tuna. The afternoon seemed like it was going to be slow, but low and behold late in the day we got what we think is the biggest cow of the season so far. It taped out at 364 lbs. We see what the scales say.

Everybody is just ecstatic and have great hopes for tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Wednesday Nov. 28 - Well today was another tough day for the whole group. A couple stops on 40-70 lb. tuna and a sprinkling of 100-120 lb. fish, but for the most part slow. The weather is still good and the food great. We had lobster salad and home made cream of chicken soup for lunch, and another superb sushi sashimi layout before a prime cut steak and potato dinner. We'll be looking at a new area tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Tuesday Nov. 27 - Wow, what a frustrating day. Great signs, many schools, but not one that wanted to bite real good. A couple of the boats did ok, so there are still some fish that wanted to bite. Just not the ones under us. On an up note, Jim landed one that is right on the fence at 199 lbs. Our weather is still beautiful, and Pedro is still putting out great food like the veal shank we had tonight. We are optimistic that our luck will change tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed.

Thanks,

Tommy and the crew

Monday Nov. 26 - Just what we had hoped for! We had a really fun day on some of the bigger grade yellowfin. We landed nine fish over 100 pounds. Charlie got one at 213 lbs. and Gunnar, one of our first timers got the biggest one for the day that weighed in at 230 lbs. He did it all by himself from start to finish. And by the way, he is only eleven years old. He also landed another one that was well over 100 lbs. Our weather is fantastic. Dinner was incredible. Pedro laid out another killer sashimi and sushi appetizer and followed up with a dinner of fresh yellowtail with a Chardonnay, lemon, shallot sauce. Richie said it was probably the best fish dish he has ever had. We are hoping for another fun day tomorrow. Wish us luck. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday Nov.25 - Today we had some fun fishing on the small yellowfin (released) and yellowtail up to 22 pounds. Our new guys Jim and Gunnar got the kinks out. Rack of lamb for dinner and off to bed to get ready for some hopefully great fishing tomorrow.

Wish us luck,

Tommy and crew

Saturday Nov. 24 - Again we have beautiful weather. Today we had our fishing tackle seminar and just kept traveling. Dinner was lobster and fillet, and some really exquisite sushi and sashimi for appetizers.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Friday Nov. 23 - We departed today on the Davis Construction annual private charter. This year there are six lucky individuals who were invited to go, with Jim and Gunnar being the new guys. We loaded up at the bait receivers with some excellent bait, and headed down south in beautiful, flat calm weather. Everyone is excited at the prospects that lie ahead. We dined on a great barbecued pork tenderloin for lunch and just enjoyed the company and the smooth ride.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew


Thursday 11-15 Fishing was absolutely phenomenal! If the last two day were great, today was even better. We had a good morning bite and then topped off the trip with an afternoon bite that went well into the dark. The tuna were biting the kite and anything else we put in the water. All fish ranged between 175 and 260 pounds. All anglers had a shot at them and a couple landed two. We did however stop to replenish our energy with some of Pedro's great food. For lunch we had tuna with a red sauce and ravioli on a bed of spinach with a cream sauce. Sounds like a weird combo, but boy did it taste good together. And dinner was a great roasted Cornish game hen with all the veggies and potato on the side. In addition to Pedro, I have to say our crew has done a fantastic job. They really work well together. And of course Lon and his group were a delight to have on board. And by the conversation in the galley, they are all planning on returning to this trip next year. Lon is going to open it up so if you are interested call Susan in the office. There will be a couple of spots. And on that note we are heading for home in excellent weather. We will be at the dock Sunday morning. Come down and see this great catch. Meet Lon from OTR. And see Susan about booking a trip.

Thanks for checking in!

Tommy and crew

Wednesday 11-14 Fishing is still good. We got a good handful of nice grade tuna with most being around 100 lbs. and Matt got a 188 lb. and Bill got a 192 lb. The weather is excellent. Just beautiful. Pedro delighted us with a roasted chicken with a great cilantro sauce. Really yummy. And dinner with a superb grilled steak. It was another great day.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and the crew

Tuesday 11-13 Jackpot! Wow what a great day. We had very, very good fishing on nice grade tuna. With the light load we have on this trip the anglers had lots of action. Our scores are as follows: Lon 274 lb., Greg 144, 110, and 152 pounders, Matt a 136 lb., John a 200 pounder, Mike 90, 125, and a 70 pounder, Tim 195 lbs., Chris 70 lbs., and Bill 70, 160, and a 304 pounder! Our weather is good. Lunch was a great seafood pasta and for dinner we went down home with some bar-b-que ribs, beans and corn on the cob. We were all so excited to have this nice big hit on the big fish.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Monday 11-12 We had fantastic fishing on 15 pound dorado, but we released almost all of them. This is a great group with OTR (Ocean Tackle Research) and Lon Mikkleson. They enjoy hook and release. The weather is good. Chef Pedro made a superb veal piccata for dinner and it was served with a really good homemade cream of asparagus soup.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Sunday 11-11 We had great marlin fishing all morning long. Midday we went in search of wahoo but had no luck. While the weather was good this morning it turn rough this afternoon. Dinner tonight was a delicious salmon steak.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Saturday 11-10 We had excellent fishing on the smaller grade yellowtail. We only kept 49 of the bigger ones and the rest were released. We looked for wahoo but they weren't around. But we weren't done. We got into a fantastic bite with marlin. We released them all but it sure was fun. We had carne asada for lunch and and a good old fashion roasted turkey with all the trimmings for dinner. The weather is kinda choppy but we are going south and our ride is good. When all was said and done we had a fun day of fishing but didn't keep much.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Friday 11-9 Today was a travel day. The weather is good and the anglers are excited to start fishing. Lunch we dined on chicken fettuccine and dinner was veal chop with bacon wrapped asparagus and lobster potatoes. We should be fishing by mid-day tomorrow.

Thanks,

Tommy

Thursday 11-8 We departed today on Lon Mikkleson's annual, limited load 10-day charter. We loaded up some great looking bait while Pedro prepared a delicious pork tenderloin for lunch. The weather is slick, flat calm and the our anglers and crew both are excited about the upcoming prospects. The passengers are preparing their gear and for dinner Pedro put out a yummy lobster and rack of lamb dinner. We will keep you posted.

Thanks for checking in...

Tommy and crew


Monday 11-5 Well the weather has kicked up a little and it's a little bumpy. We will be at the dock at 6:00 am tomorrow. Come down and say hi if you can. We will be in until Thursday Nov. 8 when we depart on Lon Mikkleson's OTR charter. There are still spots available if you want to come with us.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Sunday 11-4 Everybody is relaxing as we travel home in good weather.

Saturday 11-3 Well if we thought yesterday was phenomenal, today was even better. I know I'm repeating myself but the fishing was just great again on the wahoo and dorado. And yes the marlin are still here and wanted to play. We have good weather and this is a nice way to end the trip. Great group, great fishing, great crew.

Friday 11-2 What an absolutely, fantastic, unbelievable day. We had more marlin than you can imagine. We hooked and are released over 220.

The wahoo fishing was also fantastic. The group had a blast pulling in "crocodile" size wahoo. And we topped off the day with even bigger dorado than yesterday. The weather is good and we just had an awesome day on all three, wahoo, dorado and marlin.

Thanks for checking in!

Tommy and crew

Thursday 11-1 After an excruciating day looking for tuna and not finding any we decide to bail out and we were rewarded late in the day with some really large dorado. Had a lot of fun pulling them in. The weather started out crappy this morning but turned nice later in the day.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Wed. 10-31 Happy Halloween! We fished for tuna today and had a tough time. They were all around the boat but didn't bite. We got a few in the 60-70 pound range. Signs look positive for tomorrow. The weather has really kicked up and it is rough, but at least the company and the food is great!

See ya tomorrow!

Tommy and crew

Tuesday 10-30 We had a good day on the wahoo and excellent fishing on the 20lb. yellowtail. Weather is still good and the excitement is high as we are going to look for some of those big tuna tomorrow. Our next charter on Nov. 8 with Lon Mikkleson from OTR still has a couple open spots if you can get away. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Monday 10-29 We scratched for a few yellowtail and a handful of wahoo. We also release a lot of small yellowtail. The weather is excellent and prospects look great for tomorrow!

Thanks,

Tommy and Crew

Sunday - Oct 28 Well we just traveled all day heading toward the fishing grounds. The passengers worked on preparing their gear and relaxed. We dined on Chicken ala King in puff pastry, grilled zucchini, and sautéed carrots for lunch. And for dinner we had an excellent veal shank in a caper sauce with roasted potatoes, baked parmesan tomatoes and salad bar. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

Oct. 27 - We departed today on Larry Brown's annual 10-day trip with 22 fine anglers. Most are repeats as they join Larry each year, but we are delighted to have a couple of new comers. We are in good weather and are happy to be driving out of the sooty smoky air. The group is excited after seeing Drew's great catch from the last trip. He had Dorado, Wahoo, those big cow Yellowtail and some Yellowfin with the jackpot weighing in at 160 lbs.! We are also getting reports that fish are moving in a new area and want to bite. This is all good news. So I will close for now as we get ready for dinner of filet and lobster with vegetables and a baked potato. Thanks for checking in and we'll update again tomorrow.

Tommy and crew


Oct.25

We ran up and fished a few spots around Cedros to finish the trip off. We found a school of those jumbos around 3:00 and it kept us busy until the beautiful sunset and moon rise. The biggest fish went 45 pounds. We're headed for the barn now in as flat of a sea as is possible. We arrive/depart on Saturday leaving smoky San Diego on another ten day.

Oct. 24

It started out great and got better and better. The whole boat went bendo kelp after kelp and the kelps weren't to far between. I'd say we could have done better on the hoo. We lost alot more than we landed. The anglers were pulling the tricks out of their sleeves seeing what cool ways they could get bites. Hookless jigs, taquitos etc. We couldn't ask for better weather. It is unbeatable. We're headed up north to finish the trip with some yellowtail fishing.

Oct.22-23

A pretty slow couple of days. We saw plenty of fish in tuna zone only finding one school that would react. We hit it a couple times before it scattered and we had to try and find something new. The next day we hit a couple of the shallows along the ridge. It was slow there too. We hooked a few marlin, a couple handfuls of dorado and a skin trolling around. We tried various anchor jobs for a few yellows here and there but we weren't going to get the job done there. We will be kelping tomorrow, way out far.

Oct.21

Not much to report today. We looked at a lot of water for not much. We found one jumbo school of tuna but it wouldn't bite. After sitting on it for over an hour watching them boil around the boat, everyone lost interest so we continued our hunt. A couple handfuls of dorado and one nice tuna later we decided to give it another chance. It's just to good to pass these beautiful grade fish up when they want to chew like yesterday.

Oct. 20

The day started well. We found a school right after daylight and had a couple good stops on 40 up to 145 pound tuna. The rest of the day stunk besides the weather. We found virtually nothing. When the sun went down I was giving up the hope of an evening shot but right as I had the towel in mid air I snatched it before it hit the ground. We found our late shot. W.F.O. some would say. The bite lasted well into dark. A definite day saver. Let's do it again tomorrow.

Oct. 19

We spent the morning finishing rigging up everyone's gear for tomorrow. We arrived the days fishing grounds just after lunch and spent a little time looking around before finding a little nest of wahoo. We caught a handful and lost that many right away and thought "this is alright". That was the last of the wahoo we saw. All the small yellowtail you could ever want but that's not what we were in search of so we are now sliding down to be in the tuna grounds tomorrow. Wish us luck please.

Oct. 18

Today went as planned. We fished yellowtail for a few hours in the afternoon to break up the travel time getting down below. We had to hunt a little but everybody on board got their share of tugging and pulling. We're traveling tonight toward the ridge. We should arrive in the afternoon if we don't stop prior to.

Oct. 17

We started in the rain, loading passengers and loading bait. Now we're full steam rolling down in nice weather. There is reports of bad weather down below but we're traveling the correct direction for it not to effect us. We hope this trip is in perfect time with the perfect weather. We'll most likely start the trip off with an afternoon of yellowtail fishing before we decide on where we're going from there.

Drew and the crew


Oct. 13

We finished off our trip at the lupe and it was poor. No sign of big fish only small fish. Good weather on our way home. We'll be dock side for a few days and departing on Wednesday for 10 days.

Oct. 10

We had a couple hours of very good dropper loop yellowtail fishing on 25-35 pound fish in the morning. When that slowed we stayed busy with smaller grade tuna and the occasional mahi. We made a tour and got the anchor back down around lunch time and had the same action but with an occasional larger model tuna being hooked. We hooked 10 and landed 4 50-60 pounders. After dinner the few that still had the energy to fish all caught several more of those big yellows before we took off at 10:00. We're now spending the day traveling up the line and will be arriving to finish up the trip at Guadalupe Island for a day and a morning.

Oct. 9

We spent all day looking for kelps and never saw a single scrap. Not a single scrap. One beautiful wahoo on the troll late and that was all we tagged. We will be anchoring up Alijos Rocks early morning trying for a night bite and try for tuna and skin during the day.

Oct. 8

We had a very very good afternoon of yellowtail fishing today. The grade was 16-22 pounds with some going larger. We took off at dark and will be looking offshore tomorrow for wahoo and dorado.

Oct. 7

Welcome back. We departed today on a 7 day trip. We're currently heading down the coast unsure of a starting point. We're in a good position as far as making a decision. We have a good spread of boats in different areas so we'll have a good check on the ocean. We'll either keep rolling down tonight or stop short for an afternoon of yellowtail fishing and take it from there.

Drew and crew


Sep. 26

We worked hard to get our hundred fish today. Lots and lots of schools that didn't cooperate all that well. They were biting pretty good at the end with steady hook ups on the but hooked bait on the bow. We're grateful with the action and catch we got today. We'll be signing off for a little over a week. The next trip is a 7 day departing on October 7th. Take care then, bye bye now.

Drewsiph and the crew of the luxurious Polaris Supreme

Sep. 24

Pretty good sign of yellowtail for the first few hours in the morning. They were up boiling around good and showing on the machines but we were having trouble getting them to settle with the boat. We'd hook a few here and a whack there but nothing steady. We saw a couple more schools through out the day but it was the same thing. Nothing would settle. It was racing up and down the island. We ended the day 5 fish a rod of the jumbo quality and decided to head up the line to fish albacore the day after tomorrow. We should have good working weather so we're hoping the fish are chewing when we get there.

Sep. 23

We departed yesterday on the annual Jeff Hall 5-day trip yesterday and pointed it straight for Cedros. We arrived this afternoon and our first anchor job produced about an hour of yellowtail fishing before the bite sizzled away. Checked a couple other spots for not very much before it got dark. We're going to stay the night and spend a full day here tomorrow and take it from there.

Drew and crew


September 21

Today was like yesterday but we didn't see the schools. We saw some in the morning but they wouldn't bite again. When mid morning came. the wind picked up and the rain started pouring off and on for the rest of the day. When the weather came up the fish went down. Very poor for the entire fleet. We'll be dockside in the morning departing on the last short trip of the year. 5 days.

September 20

Deja vu. I feel that I've written this report before. We chased school after school after school of foaming albacore, sonar schools, etcetera etcetera. All of which would not bite our baits but for a few. Great weather today. We'll be trying it again tomorrow hoping for better cooperation on the fishes side.

September 19

The Lupe was poop. Heading up for a couple days of albacore fishing.

September 18

The day started up very well for us. It was good scratching up until just after lunch and fishing took a dump. We looked around the Island for a bit and after making a few stops for a few more fish we took off from there and are now heading west to the big Island. We have a great catch of jumbo yellowtails on board and we're hoping to get some jackpot settling trophy size yellowfin tomorrow. Portuguese style yellowtail for dinner tonight. We had it last trip for the first time and I must say it was by far the best yellowtail I have ever eaten in my life.

September 17

The first half of our day today was spent traveling to the Island. We slept in, had a nice relaxing breakfast, did our tackle seminar and enjoyed the nice ride down. That was my take on it anyways. I'm sure the passengers we're very anxious to get a line wet. It was worth the wait. When we got our anchor down at 3:30 the jumbo yellows immediately were on the prowl. It was very good fishing for the next couple hours and then slowed down a little to a steady pick until dark. We are very pleased with our day and I can't wait to see what's in store for us tomorrow. The galley portion of the day was great. Pedro dished out a beautiful seafood Newburg and we're getting ready to chow down on Cornish game hens stuffed with something I'm sure will knock our socks off.

Drew and the best crew in the world.

September 16

We departed on a 6 day trip today. After getting bait we're heading down planning on being at Cedros tomorrow afternoon. Weather for us is good right now but we're planning on it getting bad as we get further down. It's forecasting to get better but for the time being it will be behind us so we won't feel it either way. We'll be at Cedros for a couple days so check back soon for a report.

Drew + the amazing Polaris Supreme crew


Sept. 14 - We had a nice hit on the wahoo before we had to pull anchor and head for home. This was a great group of anglers and we had a great trip. The weather however is not nice. It is going to be a rough bumpy ride. And the forecast for tomorrow isn't looking much better. We had a delicious fresh Mahi Mahi in a fresh basil pesto sauce with fresh vegetables and potato patties. We should be at the dock Sunday morning at 7am. Come down and see us.

Tommy and crew

Sept. 13 - Wow what a great day! We had an awesome morning bite on the Dorado. Big bulls and cows. We took a break at lunch and Pedro prepared a Southwestern 10 oz. burger that was delicious. He really nails the menu with his creative spices and herbs. Back out on the deck we had excellent fishing on the wahoo throughout the whole day. And then to finish up the day we caught some yellowfin tuna. Just a great, fun day. Dinner tonight was a spicy ginger shrimp curry. Another great dish. Our weather all day has been beautiful. I hear it's been crappy up above and hope it lies down before we start up the line.

Thanks for tuning in.

Tommy

Sept. 12 - We had a slow morning here at the Ridge, but the afternoon provided us with a good bite on the yellowtail up to 30 lbs. The weather is still absolutely beautiful. Those of you that know me, know I never eat breakfast, but I thought I would check it out as I am always reporting on the lunch and dinners. Well breakfast today was a stack of buttermilk pancakes, slab of honey cooked bacon and eggs cooked to your order. I still didn't eat, but the guys all said it was delicious. We have a couple more days here to fish and then we are in on Sunday and departing on South Bay Fish and Tackle's 6-day charter.

There is still one spot on that trip, and a couple on the Sept. 22 if you can get away.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Sept. 11 - Well, after landing another 16 nice grade tuna, we left Alijos in search for better fishing grounds. We are in flat, clam, gorgeous weather. As we traveled we were treated to yellowfin and yellowtail sushi and sashimi that was to die for. Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and the crew

Sept. 10 - Today was a fun day. The weather is good now but it was crappy yesterday. At first we were getting yellowtail, which the guys released and then we got into some of those nicer grade yellowfin. Up to 60 lbs. or so. The sharks are nauseating. For lunch we had fresh yellowtail in an Italian, caper, Kalamata olive mixture with fresh tomatoes. Dinner was veal Melanesia. Both were yummy. The guys are having a good time. Not much wahoo yet. But we will see what tomorrow brings. Wish us luck! Thanks for tuning in.

Tommy and crew

Sept. 9 - We stopped and fished briefly on some yellowtail this afternoon and had some great action. We then continued on traveling in smooth weather. However, if we were going the other way it would be snotty and rough. We had a tender cooked shaved beef with a Burgundy sauce, baby snow peas and roasted potatoes for dinner. Still rolling down to Alijos, and should be fishing by mid-morning.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Sept. 8 - We departed today on Garry Robert's annual 8 day charter. We picked up a load of just ok bait and headed down with our 20 excited anglers. Weather is good. As our anglers prepared their gear, Pedro prepared fillet mignon , prawns and twice baked potatoes. Tune in tomorrow for our next update.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew


Aug. 31 - Sept. 2 We departed the docks with a great group of anglers

from Super Structures in Las Vegas. Bob Reynolds was the charter master of this private 15 passenger charter. As we headed out they dined in true Las Vegas style with lobster and prime rib. Our first day was choppy and fishing was slow but we were able to scratch out some 30 fish. We dined on beef tenderloin and crab legs and headed for some smoother water. Weather our second day was much better but fishing was still slow and we got only a handful of fish. We headed in to the dock with are final dinner of seafood pasta. Great group and we look forward to seeing them again next year.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew


August 28 - We had an ok day here at Guadalupe. Caught some yellowtail with 3 hitting around 30lbs. We also got some excellent grade yellowfin tuna 55-60 pounders. Dinner was a scrumptious Cornish game hen with a rosemary glaze. Martin who works in the office at the landing supplied Pedro with bags full of fresh herbs and peppers from his garden. Thanks Martin! We've had great weather here and certainly enjoyed fishing the island. We will fish tomorrow until about 9am and then head for home.

We should be at the dock Thursday morning at 8:30am. Two spots open on the Sept. 8 if you can get away. Boss won't let you go? Heck, bring him with you.

Thanks for checking in!

Tommy and the crew

August 27 - Well we had good fishing on albacore until about 10am and then headed off to Guadalupe. We traveled in beautiful weather and had a great Mexican fiesta lunch of carne asada, rice, beans, and all the toppings you can imagine. For dinner Pedro served fresh albacore with a curry cilantro sauce, and fresh veggies on the grill. Really tasty.

The guys have been resting up and getting their gear ready for tomorrow. We will be fishing Guadalupe for big yellowfin tuna by daybreak. Wish us luck!

Tommy and crew

August 26 - Wow, what a day. Absolutely phenomenal albacore fishing.

Fun, fun, fun!! This is the best many anglers and crew alike have ever seen. We fished from daylight until they shut off at 5pm. Just like a

9-5 work day only a heck of a lot more fun. We had a break for a yummy breaded veal cutlet on top of fettuccine with fresh vegetables for lunch and dinner was a really good old St Patrick's feast of corn beef, cabbage, veggies and probably the best potatoes I have ever had with corn beef. They were cooked in some sort of mustard horseradish, and they were a standout in the meal. We are really delighted to have found Pedro. Weather is still good and we will fish tomorrow until 10am and then head off to Guadalupe for some big yellow fin!

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

August 25 - We departed today on Bob Vance's annual five day. After we picked up a cruddy load of bait we dined on a delicious pork tenderloin for lunch and headed for the albacore grounds. This is a great group of anglers. Many have been on this trip with Bob for years. We are really looking forward to some good fishing. Weather is still good. Wish us luck.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew


August 23 - Fishing today was absolutely excellent! The albacore bit all day and the weather has laid down and is good. All the albies range in the 25 to 30 lb range. For lunch we had swordfish in a butter, lemon, caper cream sauce and for dinner we had a rack of lamb with a blue cheese port wine sauce. Yummy! A couple of boats headed to Guadalupe to no avail. We still have a spot here and there on some of our upcoming trips. Give Susan a call in the office if you can get away and come fish.

Thanks!

Tommy and the crew

August 22 - We had a good day on the albacore. Everyone is having a great time in spite of the fact that the weather is sloppy and rough.  However it looks like tomorrow it might lay down and we will have good weather. Let's hope. As I'm sure everyone knows by now, we have the Guadalupe permits. We might go there on our next two trips. Check in tomorrow for an update.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

August 21 - We departed today on the "Let's Talk Hook-up" charter with Rock Cod Rick and 21 anglers. Things sound very promising on the albacore grounds so that is where we are headed. The weather is sloppy and we are hoping it will lay down. Tune in tomorrow for an update.

Tommy and crew


August 20

Our final day went perfectly as planned. We fished a few hours drifting for cod in flat calm weather. Good red and ling cod fishing. We then shot outside and found a couple kelps holding some nice grade yellowtail and a few dorado. We enjoyed a nice easy ride home and spent the rest of the day lounging, cleaning, some read, watched movies and some took naps. We get in tomorrow at 7:30, unload, load and the big guy takes her back out for 4 days. We're out. Stay classy San Diego

Drew+crew

August 19

We had an excellent day of yellowtail fishing today. Jumbo yellows up to 46 pounds on our scale. Great weather the whole time. Hot and sunny and flat with a light breeze. Now we have to head north to get home. We're going to mess around with bottom fish for a couple hours in the morning then shoot offshore and try to find our lucky kelp.

Drew and crew

August 18

Offshore kelping today was tough. Not a whole lot of action. Plenty of kelps with not much on them at times, and areas of water with no kelps in it. We had one kelp mid afternoon where we had some action on shaker size yellows up to 20 pounders and a kelp in the morning with a handful of dorado on it. We'll be at Cedros in the early morning trying to get a tank or two of bait and begin our day yellowtail fishing.

Drew and crew

August 17

Another day of albacore fishing was productive again today. We had a little over a hundred today but seemed we should of had a lot more. A lot of non biting schools. Where have we seen that before all year? Oh yeah, right there. We're now heading to the south to fish offshore kelps for yellows and dorado. Weather is good. A big ground swell but not much wind on it. Lunch was awesome, some sort of salmon dish and dinner I couldn't even name so I won't try but it was fantastic. By the way, the albacore are all fatties. 30-40 pounders.

Drew and crew

August 17

We had a great afternoon for our travel day. We got to the grounds around 4:30 in the afternoon and had over a hundred by dark. An absolute fun fun day for all. We'd see the fish , stop the boat, and catch them. Not like the albacore have been acting this year so far. See them, catch them. I like it when that happens. We stayed the night hoping for the same sign again today.

Drew and crew

August 16

We just departed on another 5-day. The bait isn't the best of the year by any means but it is what it is and we'll take it for what it is. We're heading straight for the albacore grounds for this afternoon and tomorrow and we'll take the trip from there. Check back.

Drew and crew


Aug 14 -

Well, while the weather is good the fishing is not what we were hoping for. We went offshore fishing the kelps for yellowtail and dorado but it was poor fishing. Lunch was a delicious shrimp curry on coconut rice. This afternoon we fished San Martin but still the fishing was poor. Dinner was a great glazed rack of lamb. Tomorrow will be our last day to fish. Wish us luck that we finish off like we started.

Thanks

Tommy & crew

Aug. 13th

Fishing and the weather is still excellent! However we have had our fill of those albacore so we are heading south for some dorado and yellowtail.  Dinner tonight was incredible. Pork with some amazing yummy sauce. Susan said we still have a couple of opening on our next two trips. Take some time off and come out and get into some of this action

Tommy and crew

Aug. 12th

WOW!!  What an incredible day!!! This albacore is in the cooler 76 degree water.  It wants to bite wide open. Can't say enough about how much fun today was catching big fat jumbo albacore. They tired our anglers out. By the end of the day only a few were still standing.  Chef Pedro fixed a spicy teriyaki albacore lunch that was fantastic.  For dinner he served some delicious veal chops. Today was just a great. this is what albacore fishing is supposed to be like.  Tune in Tomorrow for another update

Aug. 11th

We departed today on Eric Rogger's annual 5day trip. We have an excellent group of anglers onboard and picked up some great looking bait.  The fishing prospects are looking good and we are anxious to go.  We started rolling down to Cedros dinning on some terrific beef and shrimp kabobs, in some great weather. Last trip Drew got some huge yellowtail there.  But reports from the albacore grounds got a lot more interesting so we did a 150 degree right turn and headed for the albacore.  We will be there tomorrow at daylight.  Fishing sounds really good.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew


August 9

Our day at Cedros went well enough. It was no slam dunk but we caught a good amount of fish and they were all of premium quality. We ran up to the kelp grounds for our last day and never found the right kelp. Only a couple handfulls of fish for our strong efforts. We'll be arriving tomorrow morning and leaving again on a 5 day.

August 8

The move to Benito's paid off. We had a good afternoon fishing 12-30 pound yellowtail. It beat the hell out of trying to fish offshore in that windy sloppy weather. But the highlight of my day was the osso bucco (spell check?) Chef Pedro dished out. The best I ever had. We made the move to Cedros to fish today and let the sea calm down before we head up the line for our last day. We already have one aboard and lost two and it's not even day light yet. It weighed in at 46 pounds on our scale.

August 8

Good morning. It's morning right now for me anyways. We departed yesterday on a 4 day trip. The weather is up. After two weeks of great weather we had it coming. We are on a straight course for Benito's Island. We made great speed through out the day and night and are looking at a mid afternoon arrival if we don't stop prior to. We will spend a couple days behind an island or two and let this weather calm down for our last day heading up the line.

Aug. 2nd

We cleared the point today at 1:00 in the afternoon with a full load of bait and a load of anxious anglers. After a short tackle seminar we are still rolling down in good looking absolutely flat calm gorgeous weather. We got the trolling jigs out and the sonar running keeping the area honest. We're planning on being offshore in the morning looking for yellowfin, bluefin, dorado, and that good grade yellowtail under kelps.

 

Aug 1st

I missed a few days. I apologize. After we left Cedros we ran up the line to fish a day offshore. We hit a couple good kelps and a few kelps that we scratched good off of and ended the day with good numbers on yellowtail and dorado. We finished our last day fishing for albacore. A slow day. We saw a little bit of fish all day long and a couple of schools through out the day. We ended the day good with a bite right before dark. We're heading in now leaving tomorrow on another 5-day.

 

July 31st

We had an action packed day today. Great fishing in the offshore grounds. The weather came down and the fish came up. It's even better weather this morning as I write this. Our Chef is still dishing them out. Veal cuts for lunch followed up with a beautiful lobster dinner.

July 30th

A slow morning, a productive afternoon. We gave Benitos Island a thorough check for not much to show for. Same old looking at fish that won't bite. We made the run down to Cedros for the afternoon. We eventually found the jumbo size yellows and fished them till almost dark before it shut off. We're going to run up tonight to fish dorados and yellows and tuna in the morning. It's steak night tonight and they're calling. See ya.

July 29th

We fished our first day of the 5 day offshore kelp hunting. We saw plenty of kelps most having mucho yellowtail and mucho dorado on them. Unfortunately they were not in the moods to eat. We scratched out 60 mixed fish for our efforts today. We're heading for Benitos Island to fish for the night and at least a few hours in the morning. If it doesn't look good we will shoot down to the next island, Cedros.


July 27th

We spent our last day looking at school after school of albacore. A very good sign of no biting fish. Frustrating? Yes. Oh well. That's just how it goes sometimes. A very good trip in all. Thanks to everyone on board and to the charter master Wayne Martin with Catchy Tackle lures. We'll be rolling back out tomorrow on another 5 day trip. Stay tuned.

July 26th

O.k. O.k. I'm sorry. I missed a day. I had fishing on my mind and I forgot about you guys. The next day was worth our while. It was slow at times but we put together some good stops. We bailed out of the grounds before dark to put ourselves in position for the next quest, Bluefin. The weather couldn't of been better today. We found a school of BF a couple hours after first light and for the next two and a half hours it was quite the show. Bluefin were flying out of the water doing flips, cartwheels and other various tricks. Unfortunately they weren't very interested in our anglers baits. We did hook four and landed three that taped out at 99,120, and 127. I always get the measurements wrong so they'll probably weigh more when we weigh them at the dock tomorrow morning. It's like a lake for our ride in which will make the rack of lamb tonight all that better.

Drew and crew

July 24th

A fun action filled day today. We were offshore fishing tuna and yellowtails on kelps. Plenty of tuna sign but they were like they've been, reluctant to bite. We managed to land a couple per rod. The yellows on kelps produced better results. Good fishing on some 10-14 pounders, mostly 15-25 pounders. Again, the weather was absolutely gorgeous. We're going to be fishing Cedros Island tomorrow for those jumbo yellows.


July 17 - Yesterday we had a travel day. It was a little bumpy and choppy coming up the line. The passengers just relaxed and enjoyed a fresh tuna sandwich and Caesar salad for lunch and for dinner we were treated to crab stuffed chicken on rice with a black bean sauce and grilled squash on the side. Really good. This morning we are still traveling and it is still bumpy. It looks like it is nicer up above and we should have a nice afternoon and a few hours of fishing before we have to head in. We will be a the dock at 6:00 am Wednesday morning.

We have a last minute cancellation on our trip that departs tomorrow.

It is Don Fischbeck's annual 5 day charter. Give Susan or Don a call if you can get away and come fish.

Thanks!

Tommy and crew

Monday July 16 - Yesterday we hit the wahoo in the morning and had a steady tuna all day on 45 to 75 pounders. Weather was still great.

This morning we are heading up offshore to the albacore. Weather is ok.

Not a bad ride up so far. Chef Tommy kicked butt again yesterday with a seafood pasta for lunch (lobster, scallop, shrimp and crab) and for dinner we had the classic steaks and baked potatoes. Very good.

Passengers are all having a ball. Crew too. It's been a very good trip.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

Sunday July 15 - Yesterday we had good fishing on wahoo in the morning and excellent fishing on tuna in the afternoon. The average weight on the tuna ranged from 45-70 lbs. Our weather is still good. Chef Tommy put out some great meals again. Lunch yesterday was yellowtail served over fresh spinach, surrounded by black beans with a spicy avocado cilantro sauce. And dinner was cornish game hens topped with a spicy apricot sauce on wild rice with grilled asparagus on the side. Fishing this morning has started off again with wahoo biting and this afternoon we will fish the tuna again. We still have some open spots on *Sept. 8th* an 8 day trip if you want to come get some of these wahoo. Give Susan a call 619-390-7890.

Thanks for checking in.

Tommy and crew

July 14 - Yesterday was an absolutely fantastic day. We had great yellowtail fishing on 30-40 lb grade with the big ones pushing 45 lbs.

In the afternoon we came across a big school of smaller grade yellowfin and released most of them. Weather is still flat clam and gorgeous. We also got a handful of Dorado and saw a swordfish. Chef Tommy put out a great lunch of Alaskan King crab and lobster, and for dinner we were served a slow roasted pork loin with roasted macadamia plum sauce.

Very delicious. This morning we are on our way to fish big tuna, and our weather is still fantastic. Thanks for tuning in.

Tommy and crew

Friday June 13 - Well Friday the 13th is starting out to be a great day for us. We have flat calm beautiful weather and are pulling in lots of nice big yellowtails. 40 pounders! There are also a lot of marlin all around us. Everyone is having a great time. We were treated to an awesome dinner last night of rack of lamb with a Bordeaux reduction sauce. Our new chef, also named Tommy has been wowing us with his culinary delights. He also made a lobster bisque that was simply the best. Well I have to get back on deck. There is still a couple spots open on July 28th and August 2 has one spot. We'll call in tomorrow.

Sea Ya,

Tommy and crew

July 12 - Good weather today as we traveling down south looking for wahoo, tuna and tails. Not much to report on the catching but that should change shortly.

July 11 - Today was mostly a travel day.  We check around for albacore but the fish were down.  The wind picked up this afternoon but we are good south so the ride is fine. This is our second day out on an eight day trip.  So we have plenty of time to find the fish. This trip is a Claim Jumper charter with only 16 anglers on board. What a great group of anglers we have on board this limited load.


July 5-10 trip update

Ok, sorry everyone. My trip update is late. Our data is still down on the boat, and Susan was out of town so I wasn't able to get my report in. We departed on July 5th on Paul Hess's annual 5-day trip. I made a decision not to go down south and fish albacore instead. We had a couple good days on albacore and then went to San Martin for some nice grade yellowtail. Headed back in for another good morning bite on albacore.

Thanks, Drew and crew

July 5 - Here we go again. We are off for another 5 days on Paul Hess's annual charter from Napa. We are anticipating good weather and great fishing. Wish us luck!

Drew and Crew


July 4 - Happy fourth of July! Well things didn't improve much, just a handful or so, so we are heading back up to finish off our excellent albacore trip with some local fishing. We will be at the dock Thursday morning at 7:30.

Drew and crew

July 3 - Well, things do change. Conditions aren't looking good. The water here is dirty and just not right for a good yellow bite. Hope it changes.

Drew and crew

July 2 - What a great day of fishing. Just couldn't be better. Everyone has had their fill of albacore so we are heading off to do some Island fishing for some of those big yellowtail. We should be there by daybreak tomorrow. Weather is fantastic.

Thanks for checking in.

Drew and crew

July 1- This is the reel deal! What a great day fishing on the albacore. Lots of albacore. And a hand full of bluefin too! The weather is good. Everyone is having a ball.

Thanks, Drew and crew

June 30- We departed today for a five day trip with 23 anglers on board. Reports on the albacore have been improving so we are anxious to get out there and get our lines in the water. Wish us luck!

Drew and crew


June 24 - (morning report) Again we are having simply fantastic fishing on 25-35 lb. yellowtail. Everyone is having a great time with these yellows. We will be taking off around noon for the tuna grounds. Wish us luck.

Tommy and crew

June 23 - Great fishing on quality yellowtail for the first half of the day. Average weight is 25 lbs with a few going up to 35 lbs. Weather is absolutely fantastic. Late in the day another boat picked up 41 albacore up closer to home. We should be able to reach the area Monday morning to fish albacore.

June 22 - Had a great afternoon on 25 lb. yellowtail. Weather is good. Chef Tommy Z is wowing the group with some fantastic food. Everyone is having a wonderful time.

Thanks, Tommy and crew

June 21 - We departed today on Rob Lancaster/Mal Wagstaff's annual charter. Yellowtail fishing has been fantastic so we are anxious to jump on that. We were excited to come across a small school of 25-35 lb. tuna about 40 miles offshore. They didn't want to bite so we are heading down in fantastic weather towards the yellowtail ground.

Weather however is cruddy offshore and at Cedros. Susan said there is still 1 open spot on June 30th if you want to come out and have some fun. Check out our schedule for other openings also.

Thanks Tommy and crew


June 16-21 976-TUNA father son/daughter annual trip

The trip was a blast for everyone on board, anglers and crew. It was great fishing on jumbo yellowtail at Cedros Island. We had quite a few in the 40-50 lb range. The grade on the rest was 28 lb. average. We had a couple sea bass, one weighing in at 46 lbs. and the other was 56 lbs. When we left the island we looked offshore for tuna. No tuna but the last kelp of the day produced a 68 lb. exotic Opah. I think that's how you spell it. The last day we spent offshore closer to home. The wind picked up and it was definitely choppy. We caught 5 tuna for the day. That was fun. Hopefully those were the scouts for the many many more to come this season. Thank you Mr. Larry Brown and everyone on the trip. I had a great time with you all. Oh yeah, we also caught a nice halibut on the surface iron.

Drew and the crew


June 14 - What a great couple of days of fishing. Everybody is within 1 or 2 fish of their limits. The average size of the yellowtail is 25 pounds. We are offshore now but the conditions don't look right for albacore. We will look tomorrow for better water. We will have a 1/2 day to look for those albies before heading for home. Weather is still just great. We will depart on Saturday for the 976-TUNA annual father/mother, son/daughter trip. The crew always looks forward to this fun group. There are 2 spots open still if you want to take dad out for some fishing.

Thanks!

Tommy and the crew

June 13 (evening report) - We had a great day today on 20-25 lb. yellowtail. Fish boiling all around the boat, good action all day long. The weather is absolutely gorgeous. We also had one nice big 40 lb. halibut. There was 5 albacore caught down below in the long range area and 3 up above in the local area. We will be looking for them when we start for home.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

June 13 - Fishing this morning so far on the yellowtail has been fantastic. Weather is beautiful and we hope both weather and the good fishing continue throughout the day.

Wish us luck!

Tommy and crew

June 12 - Good signs of yellowtail everywhere but not much put on the boat. In addition to the yellowtail we did get on board we also got two white sea bass over 30 lbs. Weather is beautiful. Prospects for tomorrow look great.

Thanks,

Tommy and crew

June 11 - Departed today nice and early with a great group of anglers.

We are traveling to the yellowtail grounds and should be fishing by 2:30 Tuesday. Reports are good. On our way we will be looking for albacore as we travel down.

There are still a couple spots on the June 16 5-day. Call Susan if you can get away and come fish!

Thanks,

Tommy and the crew


June 8-11 - We are having temporary problems with the Internet connection while we are at sea. So for the time being I am going to do my report at the end of the trip. Our first day was spent off shore looking for kelps. We found some decent ones and by the end of the day we ended up with a decent catch on yellowtail. The big news was the 25 lb. albacore. We were stoked. We also had a good bite on 15-20 lb. squid on kelp. Oh yea we also got a 30 lb. bluefin. The next day we headed up the line towards home and found some small kelps that were holding fish, but most did not bite. Our next trip is a 5-day departing on the 11th. Wish us luck and tune in to see how we are doing.

Thanks,

Drew and crew


June 4 - Our next trip will be Friday June 8 for 3-days. We are looking forward to great success as a boat this morning just caught the* first albacore* of the season. Average weight twenty two pounds. The fish are all within range and we should get two full days of fishing. Two open spots if you want to join us !

Tommy

June 2 - We looked for yellows but the water was cold on the beach.

Ended up fishing Rock Cod for most of the rest of the day with fair success and the weather is great. Flat calm. Nice improvement. We will arrive at the dock tomorrow at 7am.

Tommy and the crew

June 1 - Looked off shore for yellows and albacore with no luck. We'll be fishing for yellows tomorrow. The weather is just fair. Tommy and Crew

May 31- The Polaris Supreme departed today for a three day trip. Drew and myself along with Dave, Jed, Rich, Steve and Gringo and 16 passengers got a nice early departure from the dock around 10:30.

Conditions look good and we are anxious to get our lines wet. We will keep you posted. Wish us luck.
