5-26-2023

24 anglers: 10 Yellowtail. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we are seeing incredible sign of big Bluefin daily that is very tough to catch. One of these days they are going to bite so we ask you to please come prepared. We’ve enjoyed Yellowtail fishing on kelps to break up the day while we look for Bluefin. The Yellowtail fishing has been slow to wide open with everything in between. Today it was on the slower side. We will be fishing offshore trips all through Memorial Day weekend and beyond! Saturday, Sunday and Monday are all definite go!

 

Tackle recommendations:

1. 30-40 pound flyline setup with size 1 and 2 circle hooks and fluorocarbon for Bluefin and 2/0 j-hooks for yellowtail. 

2. 50-60 pound setup for fishing sinker rigs and SK jigs. 6 to 8 ounce torpedo sinkers. Also a good idea to bring some Daiwa Zakana jigs or other shiny dart style jigs in the 100 to 150 gram size. 

3. Big Bluefin: 60-100lb outfit with a two speed reel to fish the sinker rig and 180-300 gram knife jigs. Not mandatory but you’ll wish you had it if the jumbos decide to play. 

 

Trips will be departing seven days a week at 5:30am from H&M Landing. 

 

Passports are NOT required. No fuel surcharges at this time. Free bunks available for all, please bring your own bedding.
