Graftech Rods/Turner's/ Avet Reels 8 Day

It took a little bit of work to crack the code, but we found our rhythm today. We kicked things off with a hit on wahoo and finished the day with excellent yellowtail action.

Graftech Rods/Turner's/ Avet Reels 8 Day

Things were a little slower today, but the fish were bigger, and we had a few tuna in the mix. We’re going to give it another whirl in the same zone tomorrow!

Graftech Rods/Turner's/ Avet Reels 8 Day

Tough conditions and weather made it a challenging day on the water again. Still had some quality fish come over the rail like Jeff's 54lb yellowtail. Rather than beating the same ground, we’ve decided to make a move to better things for tomorrow.

Graftech Rods/Turner's/ Avet Reels 8 Day

There were a few more shots at yellowtail and tuna, but the tax man was relentless and made it tough to get these beauties to the boat. Kevin saved the day with a big wahoo to cap things off. Last day of fishing tomorrow before heading home

Graftech Rods/Turner's/ Avet Reels 8 Day

We spent our last day offshore covering a lot of ground in search of tuna. While the tuna didn't want to show themselves despite the warm and calm water, we didn't come up empty. We found plenty of kelps to work with, and while many were dry, we managed to find enough life to tag a few quality yellowtail and some big dorado to finish the day.

We are finally enjoying some beautiful weather down below as we steam toward the barn. We are scheduled to arrive at the dock tomorrow morning at 0500.

A massive thank you to Rick Ozaki, Kyle Tibbets, and Mike Nguyen for all their hard work on this trip. We also want to extend our gratitude to our amazing partners—Graftech Rods, Avet Reels, and Turner's Outdoorsman—for the incredible support.

While the fishing was tough, we truly hope everyone had a great time out there with us. It’s an honor to host this long-standing charter, and we look forward to seeing everyone again.

LA James 8 day

The trip departed yesterday on LA James Stay in School 8-Day with a fantastic group of anglers. LA wasted no time distributing a massive array of prizes, including Daiwa Reels, Avet Reels, Graftech Rods, and various essentials like reel bags, jigs, poppers, sweatshirts, shirts, hats, cutters, and much more. The group is holding a seminar today to cover tuna, yellowtail, and wahoo fishing strategies. While there is still a way to go to our destination, the group is preparing to be ready for any fishing opportunities that come our way.

LA James 8 day

We managed to catch all target species during our first day on the water. We spent time trolling to locate the fish and understand their positioning. Once we figured out where everything wanted to be, we enjoyed steady action until dark. We are looking forward to seeing what today brings

LA James 8 day

We took advantage of a short window of opportunity to have a successful go-around on nice tuna, yellowtail, and wahoo. Since conditions have not improved in our current location, we have made the decision to head to a new area to search for better opportunities. Wish us luck

LA James 8 day

Great yellowtail fishing for our LA James group

LA James 8 day

We continued to find success on the yellowtail today, putting plenty more on the deck. As the sun set, the focus shifted from the rail to the galley. Chef Chuck and Rolo, supported by crew members Tanner and Adolfo, absolutely crushed it with an incredible sushi spread. Amazing weather and great company.

LA James 8 day

We wrapped up our trip yesterday with some solid action along the coast, putting a few more nice yellowtail and some bass on the deck. We are currently traveling up the line and are scheduled to be back at the dock tomorrow morning at 0500.

A huge thank you to LA James and everyone who joined us for this year's 8-day. It was another memorable one for the books.

OC Tuna Club 8 Day

We set sail yesterday for our 8-day OC Tuna trip with Matt Paulson. We had a great breakfast this morning followed by a tackle seminar to get everyone dialed in on the game plan for yellowtail, yellowfin tuna, and wahoo. The crew is getting everyone ready for the fishing to come, and we couldn't ask for a better group of people on board.

OC Tuna Club 8 Day

We started strong with some excellent yellowtail fishing, and the momentum has continued as we’ve moved into solid action with wahoo and yellowfin tuna. A huge highlight so far goes to Ned, who landed a trophy 174lb yellowfin. Try again tomorrow

Another stellar day of fishing for our OC Tuna Club anglers!

We also want to extend our gratitude to our sponsors and every angler who joined us to make this another fantastic expedition. We will be back at the dock in San Diego at 5:00 AM sharp tomorrow morning. See you then!

Keith McReynolds 3 day

We departed yesterday afternoon for Kieth McReynolds’ 3-day trip and reached the bluefin grounds shortly after dark. While we’ve made a plenty of stops and managed to get some fish on the deck, these bluefin are proving to be extremely hard to get a bite. We are looking forward to another opportunity tonight and hoping for a better bite.

Keith McReynolds 3 day

We returned this morning from our 3-day trip with Keith McReynolds. We had a great day yesterday targeting yellowtail, with some nice rockfish in the mix as well. A big thank you to Keith and everyone on board for another year—looking forward to doing it again next year!

Western State Metals Zombie Tuna Fishing 3-Day

After a quick turnaround yesterday morning, we departed on our annual 3-Day Western State Metals Roofing/Zombie Tuna fishing trip with the Rubios. We arrived at the bluefin grounds before dark and managed to put a solid night together on 50–100 lb. fish

Western State Metals Zombie Tuna Fishing 3-Day

Following last night’s success on the bluefin, we worked south today in search of kelps. We were rewarded with some nice yellowtail and a dorado to round out the day. We are looking forward to giving it another go tomorrow!

Western State Metals Zombie Tuna Fishing 3-Day

We returned this morning from our 3-day Western State Metals Roofing/Zombie Tuna trip with a solid catch of bluefin and yellowtail. A huge shout-out to the Rubios for another fantastic year, we truly enjoyed everyone's company. Thank you all and see you all soon.

Procoat 3 Day

We departed yesterday morning on our annual 3-day Procoat trip with Michael Mayhue and a great group of friends. We ran into a fresh batch of fish and were rewarded with some monsters. We are hoping this marks a strong new beginning for the fleet.

Also caught a rare fish we believe to be a Monchong
