Reports From the Bridge

                                                                                              
Sunday August 30 report.                                                      

WOW what a wild roller coaster of a ride this last 10 days has been!!!!!!!!!!!

 The offshore Tuna and Albacore fishing could be best described as GOOD some of the fishing was as good as it get’s, BAD we experienced some bad weather that made fishing difficult at best. and ugly we had a couple of days that where just down right ugly in terms of fish producing.

Mike called in late last night to report that they where again on a high point of that roller coaster ride. After a good  day of catching albacore and yellowfin. He said that they where in a bluefin bite that started arround 7:15 PM and  had lasted into the dark with several fish still hanging.                                                                     

I have been remiss at not reporting our JACK-POT winners

Well this has been a very busy week and I have neglected the fish reports.

So here is a recap of last weeks Jack-pot winners

Trip #35 winners where- RAY SCHMAL 41.4 Bluefin, JOHN VANALLEN 39.9 Bluefin and SEAN HOWORD 39.4 Bluefin

Trip #37 winners where- RYAN LOSNER 39.6 Bluefin, NICK PHELPS 38.1 Albacore and

and CARLTON LOCKWOOD 32.5 Albacore

Mike reported they where fishing in just about the same areas on all 3 trips. About 100 miles from San Diego seemed to be the best for the yellowfin and dorado but the Temp. break about 25 miles closer to home and a little more east was better for the albacore . The bluefin are where you find them.

Sunday Morning Report;

Capt. Mike reported in that the weather is much improved in the area they are fishing in this morning at arround 70 miles from San Diego and they are scratching away at the albacore. The fishing yesterday was just what the doctor ordered for the group of women and kids that we have onboard this trip . They ended up with over 150 yellowfin and a couple dozen other mixed fish. Mike said that most of the tuna where in the 14 to 18lb. class with a few larger ones mixed in.

We will be doing a quick turnaround this evening heading out on a 2 1/2 day
