Capt. MIKE JEWWTT

Called in this morning to report that fishing at Guadalupe remains steady on the 40 to 50lb. yellowfin and good night fishing for quality yellowtail. The down side is that the longer they stayed on a spot the worse the White Sharks got. Yesterday afternoon the sharks where  taking at least 7 out of 10 fish hooked. It seems the bigger fish are more vulnerable to shark attacks just because they put up a longer battle. There are now 25 anglers that don’t think the Great Whites are so nifty.

Mike said that they where going to leave the island arround 10am this morning and spend the remainder of the day looking for kelps out away from the island in hopes of finding more dorado or some school size tuna.

We had a nice day yesterday catching tuna. Most of the fish we landed where in the 40 to 50lb. class. We hooked a few larger ones but the
TAX COLLECTORS got most of them. We have landed 8 tuna so far this morning and the current is just starting to run the right way. We have high hopes of putting the tank of small green mackerel we caught last night to good use.
The fishing on the local banks sounds like it’s getting better each day too
Don’t miss out on this fall’s fishing it’ the best of the year.
 
We have openings on trips as short as 1 1/2 day to 6 1/2 day trips

Good morning all

The BIG GAME 90 departed yesterday afternoon on a DAVE WILSON CHARTER . The gang was all fired up to take a crack at the LUPE ( Guadalupe Island) so they will be traveling down all night and will arrive sometime after noon today.

For thoes of you that have never been to Guadalupe. The Island lays 220 miles south of San Diego. The first thing you need to remember is when you travel due south from San Diego this will take you offshore. The closest point of the Baja main land is over 150 miles to the east north east.

The island is famous for it’s home guard Yellowtail it’s not uncommon to hook 50lb class fish ,landing them is another story.  There is also  resident schools of yellow fin tuna that can reach 150lbs. plus althoe most yellow fin caught at the island are less than 100lbs. They can be a real test of your tackle and your stamina. The huge blue fin that made the Lupe so famous in the early days of Long Range fishing have been mostly absent in resent years but once in a while you might get one to put in an appearance.       These guys can go over 300lbs. The island offers many  rare sights including some close encounters with 20ft.+ Great white sharks. The regular passengers have come to call them the tax collectors. Personally I call them *^($%#@#&$a@ when one of them takes a 50lb. bite out of a 100lb. fish but they are impressive. The Island has much more to offer and is truly the first stop for real long style fishing.

In the coming days MIKE will be  calling in progress reports STAY TUNED.

The fall of the year is the time to take one of these trips and we have openings on trips from                       1 1/2 day offshore trips to 6 1/2 day trips to the Lupe. CALL THE OFFICE @ 858 2707525

After looking at the high spot for very little we headed offshore in search of the mother load. We found a line of kelps holding good amounts of yellows and dorado. We kept at it all afternoon and are now head home and will arrive at the dock around 6am. We put over 300 mixed fish in the hold for this trip and released more than that. It’s really nice to see guys keeping only what they need and putting back the rest for the future. We depart at 2pm on Wednesday for 6 days wish us luck

I looks like the years best fishing is yet to come don’t miss out on all of the fun. There are openings on our September and October trips. Come fish with the BIG GAME CREW.

CALL 858 270-7525

that’s all for now

Mike Hear;

We spent the day looking for kelp down the coast. Most of the pattys we found had small yellows and dorado on them and a few nice tuna. We found one nice patty that was holding a good grade of fish.         The Yellows where 15 to 18 lbs and the Dorado where mostly 12 to 15 lbs. The boys put 97 mixed fish in the fish hold and we must have released at least twice that many during the day.

We spent the night at Camalu and caught 30 scoops of bait size squid. We will try them at the Collnett high spot this morning.

Thats all for now

MIKE

P.S. 

We have several openings on  our September trips call the office @ 858 270-7525 and tell them              MIKE said to ask for the 2 for 1 discount                                                                                                                                                                    

After a long weekend 2day charter Mike had headed the BIG GAME 90 home with only a scratch catch of mixed fish to show for all of their efforts and as usual Mike told everyone to keep at least one outfit rigged in case he saw something on the way home. At about 4pm and just 8 miles short of the Coronados Mike spotted a kelp and stopped the boat. After only one nice dorado and a couple of small yellows for their efforts Mike said that they where heading for the barn and would not stop again.
Just as he had gotten the boat under way the sonar lit up like a Christmas tree. Mike yelled out over the PA to run a chum line and all hell broke lose.  An hour later after the smoke had cleared the guys counted 49 nice fat albies and 7 tuna and lots of broken tackle.  Not bad for NEVER SAY DIE MIKE and the BIG GAME CREW
