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!

Angler was Al Porter, first time fishing for tuna or wahoo, He rented all
his equipment from the boat, I let him throw my set-up that morning while I
ate breakfast.

Al is a fishing guide from the Yukon! Loved the reel and was amazed at the
power of the fish! He told me something I will never forget " these fish if
you tied them tail to tail with a Salmon , the Salmon would drown in 20
yards"

Mark Pisano brought his Independence home to Pt. Loma Sportfishing November 10 after an eight-day trip with 29 anglers aboard. 

Their story was much the same as others recently. The fishing was good, and the catch was mixed species, typical for fall eight and ten-day trips. Jim Kostelecky of Pasadena won first place for his 79.8-pound yellowfin tuna. He said it bit on his chrome Salas 6X Jr. jig tied to 40-pound Big Game line and 80-pound Izorline spectra. He fished with an Avet JX reel and a Seeker 875 rod. Tom Kroes of Tipton won second place for a 54.8-pound tuna, and posed the Jim.Terry Watkins of San Diego won third place for a 48-pound dorado, but failed to appear for the jackpot shot.

The Zone

Posted by admin in Trip Reports

Today we missed on the tuna, but found a nice area holding lots of different grade yellows.
We ended up catching yellowtail that weighed anywhere from 6-50lbs and Bill Cashman was very happy with his 35lb fish caught on a Salas 6xjr.

Salas Lures - Don't Leave home without it!

Takers on the Broadbill

First blood on the boom- Took Dan Loros, who built the beautiful custom tank in my transom, out for some local sea bass fishing to try to get him his first fish. Todd P. (Newport Bait Barge) texted me that they had a load of mini squids in the receiver, so I decided to give it a try. Fished a few hours Saturday morning, Dan caught one big black and then later lost a nice white. Went in early to recoop and pick up the old man (WB). Got set up early eve and just before dark Dan's got one on. A 59.4# hits the deck. Nice job Dan. Sat it out and got one more bite, a 57.5#. Thanks for the text Todd, those mini baits did the job. That tank had 1000+ one to three inch squids and not a single clog in 36 hours. Awesome tank Dan, if anyone needs custom work on there rig, Dan does beautiful work (check out photo) The thing is too nice for the boat!

Good evening folks. We had a great day today. 54 tuna and what a great grade of fish. Average is about 150 pounds with some bigger and some smaller. Fish up into the 190's and one fish 245 caught by Denny Hill. His personal best before that was a 140 lb. he caught yesterday. He made a big jump scoring that cow. We did have a couple other chances at possibly cow's but no luck. Maybe tomorrow. What great fishing so far.

Good evening folks. We had a fun day at the Island. Things started slow but when we got on the fish it picked up with long drifts on fish from 120 to 180 pounds. The morning brought smaller fish 60 to 90 pounders but also brought this 270 pound tuna caught by Alan Walbridge. We did hook another big one but it fell off. No daily JackPot today but Bill Roecker had a great first tuna prize that included a 5 star certificate . Seagar line and Salas jigs. Tomorrow we may have another pot. Oh Yah, Jack gave a ten pack of Salas jigs for the first tuna on the deck. Sweet!

50 tuna today and hoping for more tomorrow.

CharterMaster Fred Fukunaga with a Nice One on the Star! Moo Moo!

Today's photo's features southland fishing legend Fred Fukunaga with his 203-pounder coming over the rail,” wrote Royal Star skipper Tim Ekstrom November 7, noting chartermaster Larry Fancher also managed a 179-pound tuna. “These, and a few others, were the day's highlights. As for the rest of the day, and the rest of our anglers, it was a no go.

“There were a few odd dorado and an occasional big tuna boil to maintain enthusiasm for the effort but sloppy weather and brutal fishing conditions combined into quite a character test. Enduring the challenge while awaiting the big reward is pretty much synonymous with giant yellowfin tuna fishing. It is to be expected. These are not typically doled out to any and all. Certainly there are those times when everyone gets in on the act; those are the occasions we live and strive for. But, scratch mode is built in to this fishery; time at the rail with the right equipment in hand is the only way to produce results. And even then one's number does not always come up. Often times the fish gods are harsh, and do not appear impartial. Such is fishing.

“For us those strived for results were scant today. Better than nothing though; five happy anglers have a big ingot of swimming gold perfectly spiked, bled, and dressed resting the RSW tank, but our aspirations are far greater. The positive news is that we see plenty of sign around; at least enough to convince me that we have a chance at a good hit tomorrow and beyond. The quality is what we came for, and the setting is ripe for plenty more.”

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.
