Bassing has been very good!

Sorry for the lack of reports....I have been doing alot of bass trips the past few weeks and we have caught alot of nice fish on flies and jigs. The other day i had an angler from Italy onboard who spoke virtually no english....He nailed a 30lb bass on the fly and all we needed was the universal *high five* language to know how special that catch was.....
Commercial bass season will probably end this week with 70 percent of the quota reached by Sunday.....After that it should be awesome for chartering with the lack of people after a buck have long gone home......
Tuna has been slow of late but after next weeks moon phase I predict things to heat up....

Return of the slot tuna....




Yesterday I had my good friend Jeffrey Cardenas and his lovely daughter Lilly onboard. The plan was to get Lilly hooked up to fight her first bluefin tuna. It didn't take too long and Lilly fought the fish like a pro and in 20 minutes we had a nice slot tuna on the deck. The rest of the day was spent trying to get Jeffrey tight on the fly but the fish were just not fly friendly in staying up....A great day OTW with great friends...

Bassing turns on.....



Had some great light tackle/ fly bass action last week. Great to see a body of fish where it has been virtually dead the past 4 years.
John Sloan and his son Jack had a killer day out with me a week ago........John really earned this trip becuz the past few years he has booked me in August when the bass fishing has been tough.
