Trip 23-C 1.75 Offshore

by Matt Kaullen, 4-19-2023








Hey everyone, we are checking in from our 1.75 day. Fishing has been slow during the day, but definitely see fish around. Just hard to get them to bite. We had excellent fishing last night for our group, and hoping to catch a few more. We'll keep you posted.

Trip 23-4: Buckshnis Bluefin Bruisers

by Matt Kaullen, 4-23-2023








 


Hey everyone, checking in from the bluefin grounds. We had a tough night last night. Plenty of fish around just didn't find the right school to stick. Today we kelped half the day and caught 50 yellowtail. After kelping we traveled up to the guys where the bluefin popped back up. Very good sign of these 60-120 pound fish. We are hoping for a good night flat falling. Wish us luck

Trip 23-5 offshore

by Matt Kaullen, 4-30-2023


Hey everyone We are checking in from the bluefin grounds. We've been fishing for the last couple of days and it's been tough for us. We've seen plenty of fish but haven't been able to connect on the right school. We've seen fish from 20-150lbs on some of these schools. Flyline and sinker rigs during the day and knife jigs at night have been most productive. Still have plenty of time to catch more fish. We'll keep you posted.
