Young’s Tackle Trip - JACKPOT on a 6xJr

Independence docked at Pt. Loma Sportfishing September 17 after a seven-day charter with 31 anglers riding with skipper Jeff DeBuys. The group had near-limits of yellowtail, plenty of dorado and some tuna and bottomfish.

“We fished down The Ridge and offshore,” said Jeff. “The weather was great; hot and flat calm.”

One of the anglers aboard was Brandon Hayward of WON.

“Uncle Sam was wide-open,” he told dock reporter Bill Roecker. “They ate all our iron. I got some on the mint Candy Bar and the blue swirl 6X surface jigs. The bass, bit, too. It was good fall fishing.”

Joe Overstreet of Rancho Palos Verdes won first place for a 37.8-pound yellowtail. He said he bagged it with a blue swirl Salas 6X jig on 50-pound blue Izorline, and Avet LX and a Calstar 700 H rod.

Don Gallacher of San Diego won second place for a 31-pound yellowtail, and David Dolder of Lakewood won third place for an 87-pound gulf grouper.

7 Days of Fishing on the American Angler

Alijos Wahoo Line up

Hey Gang

Check out the images from our recent 7 Day Trip on the American Angler out of Pt Loma CA.

We are back from our 7 day trip on the AA. The Offshore Grounds, Cedros, Benitez, The Ridge, and Alijos Rocks. Not much on the Tuna, but a Grip of Yellows, and a few Wahoo at the Rocks. The weather was stellar for the entire trip barley getting a touch of spray on the windows of the Wheelhouse.














A whale shark managed to swim into our chumline on the Ridge and swam by to show off her Tan Line!

Shogun Report August 18, 2011


“The yellowtail bit well for us most of the day. We made numerous stops, some of the fish didn't react at all and some of the schools came right to the stern boiling and biting everything that was thrown at them. It was classic drift fishing for yellowtail in this area, most of fish coming in at the 15 to 22-pound category. We have been blessed with outstanding weather so far in this trip; in fact I think some of the guys are sporting sunburns after today

Looks like the funny Neo-politen Colored Jig did it again
