Jim Vanator Tuna

Had Jim Vanator and the Alaska boys out today. Had his nephews Steve and Mike and newcomer Travis. Made the long slow ride out to the grounds. Got there and the massacre bite was over. On our first drift we were able to get a bite in first 5 minutes and pop Travis tuna cherry. Rest of the evening/night sucked going 1-7, ugh?!!!  Fortunately next morning we were able to land a few more tuna before heading home.

Mario Florentini Mahi Bluefin

Had first timer Mario Fiorentini out today with sons and uncle Bernie. Started out on pots and the bigger ones had lockjaw, but the peanuts were ready to eat. Decided to chum hard with live peanuts and found the life I needed getting the schoolie bluefin in a frenzy releasing fish up to 50 inches.

Tom Mallon Tuna Mahi

Had Tom Mallon and son out with guest appearance with Jay from Sushi by Sea. Started out am trolling for bigeyes, unfortunately our ticket wasn't punched. So we packed  the box with light tackle mahis. Changed gears and went on the hunt for yellowfin, found them but they wouldn't bite the jig after crew fishing hard for a few hours. Put in the purple tracker mini bullet and had an instant bite.

Joe Mihalyi Canyon

Had first timer to offshore Joe Mihalyi and the boys for a mixed bag trip. Boy was it ever! Started the trip jigging yellows on the UVT jigs, then we ran to canyon to load up on mahi and tiles eating the UVT jigs. Came back to the scene of the crime for a great top water bite on the UVT poppers!

Rich Walsh Tuna Mahi

Had Rich Walsh and the boys out today. Started out on a crazy bonito bite, things then slowed, got a bluefin on UVT jig to pop Garrets cherry. Went looking around and found Log loaded with mahi, nailed a bunch of them. Finally found some great life with Rays and chicks and the boys went to work with the UVT jigs. William got in the action popping his cherry!

Nathan Birthday Stripers/Fluke

Had Nathan out for his birthday trip. Started with stripers but decided to call an audible mid morning given the conditions after catching one. Went fluking and had some solid action boxing some keepers with the biggest going 24". Beautiful weather and a nice crew!
