Jul 30, 2001; 10:43PM - Trolling for albacore with rapala style lures.

Category: Fishing tips and tricks

Author Name: Matt

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

Aug 6, 2005; 12:27PM - Tuna Snap . . . Blues Disappoint

Category: Saltwater Fly Fishing Reports

REPORT #970. “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
Michael Hibbard, Southbury, Conn., spent his last day chasing YFT from outside of Cabo Pulmo to 10 miles offshore. He demonstrated that the practice he had on his previous trip paid off and managed to raise his total up to double digits with his largest in the 30 pound class.
Bisbee Black and Blue Tournament attracted 56 teams to compete for the big jackpot. Since the preceding week had produced a 400 , 500 and a 614-pound blue, anticipation ran high for the 240 anglers seeking the fame and a big check for winning the event. Unfortunately, the big blues didn’t get the invite and only one qualifying fish made it to the scales, 344 lbs. caught by lady angler Charlene Sanford onboard 'Adam's Folly'

Looking at the SST’s on http://terrafin.com it appears that the warmer water is filling in nicely. Diana Hoyt, of Magbay Outfitters, confirmed that the fishing outside Boca de Soledad is great, with yellowfin tuna and dorado being found just a few miles offshore. Further out at the Thetis Bank there are reports of more marlin sightings. Boats straight-lining to the entrada found a steady dorado bite. At the entrada (entrance) there are plenty of bonito and skipjack under the bird schools and occasionally some fire-cracker yellows show up in the melee. As the water temperature continues to warm up, the bite is improving from San Carlos all the way up to panhandle above Lopez Mateos. Sierra, corvina, halibut at the sandy beaches and even snook now and then are keeping the rods bent and smiles on the anglers’ faces.

There has not been much change this last couple of weeks. The 80º blue water is only a short 2 mile run off the beach, and the boats are still taking most of their fish between 10 and 12 miles out. The sailfish are averaging between two and three fish a day, per boat.
Adolpho, on the panga Dos Hermanos, fished the blue water two days and ended up with seven sailfish released. The three days of inshore fishing yielded (each day) two large roosterfish, averaging about 35- to 38-pounds, and three or four large jack crevalle, averaging about 18- to 20-pounds.
The week accounted for five blue marlin again. They are sticking around, even though the water is way too warm for their preference, because of the huge schools of skipjack tuna here. As normal for this time of the year, there are very few boats fishing in the fleet, and even though the fishing is fairy good, it will stay this way till November.
