Kub Ito - First "local" Wahoo of the Year

Hey Gang

Check out the HOT DOPE on some Outstanding Fishing on the American Angler Website. Looks like someone turned on the Fish Switch at Guadalupe Island.

Wow When we left the dock, we didn't know what to expect. The offshore fishing seemed to be on a slight downhill trend so we opted to take advantage of our SAC leader Ken Franke's hard work and go outside to the island. After daylight we got the 911 call from our code boats to keep coming because there was good sign of tuna. We got to the zone after lunch and we had a strike as soon as we slowed down.



Kub Ito got this year's first "local" wahoo which he graciously donated for an upcoming wahoo dinner.



Soon afterwards we saw a small school of tuna on the machines and they showed immediately. We had very good angling on [get this] 40-60lb tuna with a few pushing 70lbs as bites were very easy to come by. We kept 4-12 hooked for several hours as everyone aboard was on the ropes. We ended up with 100 of these good grade tuna for the afternoon and our other guys that were here all day also had big days.



Art Taylor on the Searcher said that this was the best fishing that he has ever seen on this grade tuna and he has owned a long range boat for over 25 years.



Obviously we don't know if they are going to bite like this for long but what we do know for a fact is that they are here right now. I know that there are lots of people that walk and breath for this kind of fishing so call Lori. At times they were biting heavy string, but the rig of choice would be a castable sized 2-speed reel with spectra and a flourocarbon 50lb topshot with a choice 7-8 foot rod for fishability.

Day 2 at Lupie

Gary Teraoka from Accurate reels put one of Jack's new reels to the test landing his 105lb fish on the new B2-500 reel.

Paul Cloutier shows off some of his angling skills with this nice fishcaught on one of Matt's fancy sardine imitation painted 7x surface lure.

Our Good Bud Roger Kuramoto, Co-CharterMaster on the Harry Yamada Charter has to be one Happy Camper. I can hear it now with That Look and Big Smile from Roger..."Bob, you should have been there - Wide Open...HA hahahahahahhaha ha"



There are spots available on some of the upcoming trips. Call Lori in the Angler Office if you want to jump on a trip 619 223 5414. Come fish with the Family!!!!!!

Subject: La Paz,Cerralvo report

What's up guys,

I just got back from a week or so of fishing, and a little diving. The fishing started out pretty good and kind of backed off after a few days and fell flat on it's face upon Phils arrival. We did get a ton of dorado, 8 wahoo and a few little tuna and other random stuff like pargo, cabrilla and toro sprinkled in there.

I had a lot of fun hooking Monica up to dorado and she dug it.

Monica looks like she had a blast. For some strange reason I thought you were up in Alaska. Boy was I wrong.........Great report Stoney
