El Nino?

If there was ever a signal that we are going to have some type of El Nino event this summer, this week of storms was certainly an indication. There is certainly no local fishing to reports, but it certainly has us excited for the possibilities of what could come this summer. Book your trips, get your boat ready, because it is looking more like a warm water event is on tap.

The fishing highlights this week were from the long range fleet. The Independence hit the Point Loma Sportfishing docks today with an impressive load of big tuna. You heard all about it from Captain Jeff Dubois on Let's Talk Hook-up last week, and several anglers braved the rain to see this incredible catch.

Check the front page of our web site for a great story and photos by Dave Dolan who was fishing aboard our Let's Talk Hook-up sponsored trip on the Legend last week. Also a great shot of why it is so important to take a kid fishing.

Our Shimano/Let's Talk Hook-up on the water seminar schedule is up on our web site on the trips page http://www.hookup1090.com/trips.asp We have 2- 1 1/2 day trips on the Searcher, a 3 day on the Searcher and the popular Islander Kayak mother ship trip. Sign up soon as these trips fill fast.

This is a great weekend to get a dose of fishing by listening to Let's Talk Hook-up this Saturday morning from 7am to 9am. Pete Gray and Rock Cod Rick Maxa will be in the XX studio with Mike Rivkin. Mike is author of several great fishing books, and is a true fishing historian. He is also an IGFA representative and will have all the information on how to make a world record catch. Also in the studio will be Chad Woods from sportfishingreport.com- Chad gathers all the important information for anglers ready to go fishing, and knows the stats of what goes on in the world of fishing. Sunday from 7am to 9am Pete and Rick will be back in the XX 1090 studio with Captain Tim Ekstrom from the Royal Star. Tim just returned from an epic trip with several large tuna hitting the decks at the southern banks. He will also talk about the upcoming Revialligegidos Islands tagging trips.&nb sp; Of course lots of long range and local live reports to go along with all the information, plus your phone calls.
