Kelly Leach Blues

Had Kelly Leach and son and his buddies out today. All Kelly wanted was the boys to have rod bending action all day. Started in ocean on blitzing blues, had dozens, then hit some wrecks for ling, just tons of throwback seabass. Tried fluking, not much happening so went back to more blues to finish a fun day!

Dan Albanese Stripers

A couple days ago had Dan Albanese and crew out of stripers. Odd drifting conditions but put together a solid catch boxing a limit of stripers and plenty of releases up to Kevin's 36" fat healthy fish. The bass are starting to fill into their summertime habits and it's shaping up to be a great summer of striped bass fishing!

Sam Angelo Stripers

Had Sam Angelo back again for stripers. Bankers hours trip we left at 9am but had a slow start. Finally found some fish to work on and put the live bunker to use and fell one short of the crews 5 person limit.

Frank Moran Stripers

Had Frank Moran with the Crowleys out for stripers. Gave them the option to go sea bassing and they said they wanted to get on the stripers. Made our bunker easily and picked away at the stripers. Had a nice couple of drifts that made the day getting our limit and releasing a few more for another day.

Evan Refvik Sea Bass

Had Evan Refvik out today and the guys elected to target sea bass. We caught 40 keeper sea bass with some ling and even a mackerel in the mix. Good fishing on both the jigs and bait. Snagged some bunker on the way in to try and top the box off with a striper or two but our bites didn't come tight. Great day with beautiful weather! 

Sam Angelo Stripers

Had Sam Angelo for stripers- bait took a little while but once we got our bait it was game on. Never hot and heavy but easy limit with some doubles and plenty of releases. Beautiful weather was the cherry on top!

First canyon trip - First Tuna

Had our first canyon trip today. Conditions weren't ideal. Not able to cruise at optimal speeds to canyons, but made it happen. Got to the grounds and got our first tuna of 2025 on our favorite @chatterlures Purple Wingman. Dropped down to jig tiles and @uvtfishing jigs got the job done on golden tiles.
