The crew of the Excel went the distacnce (literally) to get us on some tunas.

Day 1 spent rigging up, meet and greet, consuming mass quantities of alcohol, etc.
Day 2 got to Benitos around mid-day, got some Yellowtail's, it wasn't wide open and it was then that we decided to "go the distance". We went down to the ridge to get at some tuna.
Day 3 started fishing the Ridge around mid-day and soon got into a WIDE OPEN, STUPID FISHING BITE!!!! The Yellow Fin Tuna's were eating everything; poppers, yop-yo's' raiders, butterfly's, bait, even jumbo sized rainbow trout swim baits... Fishing was good. Easy limits in no time flat. Fished the night for not much, left just before midnight.
Day 4 started early at Abreojos for a nice mixed bag of fish, then moved more up the line for the afternoon bite off of Hippoliotos. We were catching everything there, Yellowtail's, Bony's, Calicos (huge), Sandys, more yellows, you know the drill, it was good.
Day 5 drifted for some flatties at an island (name unkown), not much flatties, but had a really good bite on barracuda's for those tossing iron.

Special thanks to our chartermaster, Big Al Gross and our captain, Justin Fleck. Without them we wouldn't have made the run down to the ridge and tore ass into the tuna like we did. Great trip cant wait until next year.

I'm tempted to change my plans from a 10 day in November to this trip. Any thoughts??? Here are the details (and I have no skin in this):

Paid in full by 11/1/2010 ]]> San Diego Long Range Fishing afraser http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/san-diego-range-fishing/271580-vagabond-mag-bay-special.html <![CDATA[Anyone interested in diving/fishing the 'Lupe?]]> http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/san-diego-range-fishing/271522-anyone-interested-diving-fishing-lupe.html Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:45:42 GMT I know the island isn't "open."

A friend and I had put our deposit down on the Condor's 5.5 day combo shark/fish trip. We were the only two deposits down for the trip. I figured there would be more interest in a trip like this.

I was just wondering if anyone was waiting for the island to open before booking 5 or 6 day trips down to the 'Lupe.

I told myself I was going to hit Guadalupe this year, and Alijos next year. I really don't want to spend the money to drive 30+ hours for yellowtail limits at Cedros or Benitos. Anyone else like me waiting? ]]> San Diego Long Range Fishing strackle99 http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/san-diego-range-fishing/271522-anyone-interested-diving-fishing-lupe.html
