If you do not see the day you are looking for please be patient sometimes reports are delayed due to:
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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Thanks, Drew and crew
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. 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 Friday Jan 11 - We departed today with nine anglers on a private 17 day charter. The bait we picked up is ok and the weather is beautiful. We dined on a wonderful roasted veal chop and are excited as the outlook from down below sounds great! Thanks for checking in. We'll keep you updated. 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 Tommy and crew 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. Drew y crew 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. Drew and crew 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. Drew and crew
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. Tommy and the crew |
