The BIG GAME 90 landed only 8 yellows this morning but lost at least twice that many.

 MIKE said it’s hart breaking to work so hard for these fish and have so few on the deck but these are quality fish and a lot of folks are just not prepared for them.

“You need at least 30lb to take these guys on” and still you have a real fight on your hands.

We will be out tonight and  Sunday evening departing at 10 pm

We have squid the loads are light and the weather is great give us a call at the BIG GAME OFFICE AND YOU PAY $85 FOR THESE TRIPS

GOOD FISHING

MIKE AND CREW

Good Saturday morning Irv hear;

I just got off of the sat phone with Capt. Mike his report is as follows 

They arrived at the east end of San Clemente Island at arround 4:30 am this morning and where lucky to catch a good load of live squid. Mike said they have enough squid for the next few days now. Right after daylight they started seeing spots of yellows up on the surface and hooked several but managed to land only 2 so far. Mike said that the water is warmer to day and hopes the fish that they are seeing will settle down and bite.

the BIG GAME is scheduled to depart nightly at 10 pm.

SOUTH COAST FIRST PERSON REPORT

LONG BEACH – My name is Madison Rodriguez, and I’m 11 years old.  My dad took my sister Abby and me on our first overnight fishing trip this weekend may 17 aboard the Big Game 90 and 
I wanted to share my amazing trip with you. 

We started the day at San Clemente Island making squid to hopefully catch a white seabass. When the sun came up we were at 
the island near some kelp. Abby hooked a big fish that turned out to be a bat ray. It felt smooth and we let it go back.  Then everyone else got hooked up at the same 
time, which turned out to be big yellowtail. Five were landed up to 35 pounds, and all of them were hooked on squid. 

Later, we went to some deeper water 180 feet and fished with 
some sardines.  I used a dropper loop rig and hooked  a 10-pound lingcod with a huge mouth. What a beautiful fish!  Abby hooked up on two 6-pound salmon grouper at one time. They have big eyes!  As I took a break, a man hooked up on something really big.  This fish took him (and the crew)  around the boat 12 times in one hour, and when it finally came up it was a 12-foot thresher shark, if you include the tail. 

The crew seemed to be very proud of this catch, and it took four guys to get
 the shark over the rail.  The captain measured the shark and it taped out to weigh 233 pounds.  Everyone took home some thresher steaks. Well, nobody caught a white seabass, but I still had an amazing trip, and I think I’m ready to try a tuna trip this summer.  Dad says that fishing is not always this good, but  we’ll see.
Thank you for making such a cool newspaper.

MADISON, 11, says she’s ready for a tuna trip after her overnighter on the Big Game 90 to San Clemente Island. 

We are not on the grounds today but Mike and I are keeping in touch with the boats that are and the word is limit style fishing this morning

MIKE AND CREW

Hello Mike hear from San Clemente Island. first day of two.

We started out with a bang this morning. We arrived at the east end of the island at arround 3:30 this morning and where able to load the tanks with squid. Then just after daylight we started hooking yellows. We managed to land 9 fish  all nice fat ones some over 30lbs.
After the current died off we went out for some shallow water rockfish and looked for more yellows out there. After we caught limits for the day on rockfish and spending some time looking with the sonar we headed arround to the front side of the island to look for more surface action. The water is still a little cool but we did manage to catch some bass and a few bonito and did see a nice school of yellows that didn’t want to bite. late in the afternoon we headed back to the squid area and made a few drifts. we caught a big halibut and lost a couple of mistry fish (my best guest is there are some black sea bass hear too). we will spend the night hear and try for some whites in the dark and yellows in the morning.

Boy I love these 2 day trips over hear lots of time to look arround and the weather is great

the passengers are fun and the food is great!!!!!!!!!!!

We do have a 1 day trips departing Sunday night fishing on Monday and again        Friday and Saturday nights next week.
