Albacore Caught On Journey South!

From Fishing Videos.com - Thank you Bill and Paul!

American Angler skipper Sam Patella called his wife, office manager Lori Patella Sunday morning to say the boat had just caught two albacore of 15 to 18 pounds at 239 miles from San Diego, on the way to destinations south. The fish were likely trolled, but that information and more should be forthcoming later this evening.

Other boats that left yesterday include the Intrepid, Qualifier 105 Red Rooster III and Royal Star. Reports from them will also begin to come in soon.


Time to get Ready Gang!

GOT ON 'EM LATE - American Angler Sportfishing

We had a very long day looking for some action today, checking out all of our Yellowtail spots with Gold Stars next to them, only finding cold water, cold, dirty water or cold, dirty, smuttsy water. Sometime in the late afternoon we found the right conditions; warmer clean blue water and can you believe it... fish. We are going to go out on a limb and hope conditions stay the same here and go to work a little earlier in the day tomorrow.

The photo of the day is Ms. Tammie and her personal Capt. Taro with a sample of the grade fish we enjoyed today. We have another day to fish the shallows before we make the run offshore (weather permitting).



Good luck with the rest of the trip Sammy!

Bob,

We fished Catalina Friday night. Bait was easy to make, got about 4 scoops. Captain Wes Flesch set us up on a nice meter mark. Worms on the meter....Looks good.... Wes is the first one to get bit and lands a nice grade seabass.

Later Daneen and I get ours. Daneen's Fish is a big one... JP... Sweet. Tide goes slack so does the bite. We leave and come back to the next tidal movement.... We get bit again... Every 10 mins we hang a fish..... Limits...

Is this the Geoff Taylor I remember from the Pegasus?

Great Report Stew! You are the Biscuit King!
