Off Shore News for So Cal June 2 2013

Independence June 02, 2013 BFT Beauties by Indy Crew Good evening to everyone from the Independence.  Our first day of fishing was not by any means a  barn burner, but I can say we saw plenty of fish  around to make you want to spend some time  around here. As far as catching goes, we tagged  28 yellowfin tuna, 18 to 30 lbs. and 2 bluefin tuna  120, and 140 lbs.. We did see good sign of these  bigger bft, but getting a bite was tough. The weather  is just beautiful, and we are going to camp out here  for another day to see if the fish gods can give  up some more of these beauties to us. Check out  our face book page for some photos of today’s hot action, and please wish us luck for tomorrow, Jeff and the Indy crew

"The boat is on the way back with  28 Yellowtail and 50+ Barracuda. Coronado Islands had a down  week last week with some funky conditions that moved in.  Starting yesterday we started to see some very nice water.  The fish counts today definitely reflect the better conditions.  I'm predicting a very good week next week.

A Great Catch on the Excel ala Fishing Videos.Com  Thank you Bill for the Great Reports

“We made a move last night with hopes of finding greener pastures,” wrote Excel skipper Justin Fleck April 3. “Unfortunately all that we found were nasty, aggressive sharks that ate most of our wahoo and destroyed some tuna. We did manage to sneak a dozen or so skins and nine good grade tuna past the "tax man.” Big fish honors goes to Jonathan Jeffers for his 237.6-pounder caught on a PL68 right at dark. Hopefully there are a few more of those around. The good news is that we still have a lot of time left and the weather is coming down all the time.”

Hola Compas,

We spent the last week down at Las Cruces, the conditions were nice and we found some biters.  This trip is always my favorite because it is really fun to get all the kids on some good fish.  We found some really nice yellows and a few beastly sized amberjacks, all on jigs.   After getting freight trained a couple of times in the rocks, I started jigging with 80#.  There were still fish every day that just ruined us in the rocks.  Along with the jacks, we picked up a few nice cabrilla and pargo.  There were lots of whales around, including a huge sperm whale that swam by to  show us her tan line.

YT Nados Sat 3-16 We are on the board for 2013! Got to the islands around 7am on Sat 3/16 and we skipped getting bait since the word was they were chewing the iron. We fished middle grounds dropping yoyos here and there. Our first hook up came at 830 and our second at around 9. We just kept moving around, dropping irons, and winding. Our 3rd hookup came around 1030 and we landed two out of three. We headed for home around 2. All in all we felt pretty lucky because we didn't see anyone else hook any. Makes the sore arms from yoyoing all day well worth it. All fish bit the scrambled egg salas 6x. The two were landed on 40lb set ups. The one that was lost was on 25lb. Attached Thumbnails

Spring has Sprung!!!!

THE YELLOWS ARE BITING:

Just letting you know that the San Diego had 30 yellows in the 18 to 30-pound range on board at one P.M. today and is still fishing. Skipper Ryan Bostian said that there are some big spots of fish around. Most of them are yo-yo fish; however there were several caught on surface iron this morning also. Things are looking up!”

The Malihini is also catching quality yellowtail at the islands today, according to Ollie at H&M Landing (619) 222-1144. Skipper Mike Schmidt reported a dozen fish of quality onboard, with many lost to overly light tackle used by passengers.

Time to dust off your Salas Jigs!  Let the Season Begin!
