We had a few 1.5 day trips return yesterday. The EL CAPITAN had 18 anglers catch 45 Bluefin Tuna, 5 Dorado and 2 Skipjack. Weather was up but so were the fish. Capt. Alan says the count does not depict what they saw. Great volume of fish and plenty of opportunity. Capt. Alan has some great trips lined up with plenty of space. Don't miss out the time is now!!!

NEW LO-AN is on the fish this morning (09/27/13 @ 8:30 A.M.) They have 93 Bluefin Tuna up to 45lbs. Great weather and the fish are biting!!! Back to work as the boys continue to go bendo!!!! Don't be fooled by Fall.

The fishing season is not over yet. As we transition from Summer to Fall, we are still amazed at the volume, size and aggressiveness of these Bluefin Tuna. We are still seeing great numbers of Dorado and Yellowtail and we are still awaiting the explosion of these Yellowfin Tuna. DON'T START BREAKING DOWN THE TACKLE JUST YET!!! We have some epic trips lined up to get you offshore and on the fish!!!! Watch for trips through October aboard the EL CAPITAN, GRANDE, DOMINATOR, NEW LO-AN and we have a few more tips aboard the EL DORADO.

*BLUEFIN TUNA TACKLE*

On these schools of tuna, DO NOT BOTHER WITH LINE LIGHTER THAN 30LB TEST. You want to have at least one rig with 50-60lb line. Hooks can be 2/0-5/0 and paired with fluorocarbon will be your best bet at landing these not so gentle giants. 2 speed reels can make a world of difference. If your trip is overnight or longer, plan tackle accordingly.  

*YELLOWFIN TUNA TACKLE* These Yellowfin have been mixed size from 12-45lbs. They are pretty eager to bite the 30-40lb line. 2/0-3/0 hooks, fluorocarbon and reels with smooth drag are all you need. These fish are not quite as capable of destroying tackle like these Bluefin we have been fishing. Yellowfin are also no stranger to surface plugs or yo-yo jigs.
