What a stellar trip! Capt. Mike took us to my favorite canyon, south to the Lindenkohl. After setting the anchor in 64* 750', first "fish on" after 5 min. and first smallish yellow in the tank. A slow pick during the remaining dark of night until full sun up when the birds turned the trip into a lot of fun or work, depending on how you look at it. Like last week at night, one shark and during the day multiple cut offs. We had a total of 44 tuna, 80/20% longfin to yellowfin or about 35 to 9. Pool winner was a first time party boat fisherwoman with her first fish, a 65 lb. yellowfin. Thereafter, she jigged 4 longfin--what a way to have a first trip!!! Again, like last week, pink/white jigs were the favorite while butterfish was the favored bait followed by sardines, both on lighter leaders(25# fluoro was too light). I think high hook was 7 fish with an unseen fish fought for 40 some minutes. General consensus: it was an eyeball. NOAA was on with forecast, mostly cloudy but little breeze. No squid showed but did have a mola mola, a porpoise and a few Skippies passing, make an appearance. Kudos to Capt. Mike for heading south and to mates Nico, John and Jay for dealing with the many hooked fish tangles, head gaffing and dealing with all the other chores and requests. Also on board; Office manager Jill and "special guest" Greg...always a pleasure to fish with both of them.

Hey Chuck. Glad you guys had fun. We were supposed go again tomorrow night but had to cancel due to weather. Looking to put one or possibly two more trips together. Water still looks great out there. As long as we can get the weather, we should be able to catch tunas into December!

Thanks for the report
