We left the dock early on the annual Accurate sponsored 5-day trip, prepared to fish Guadalupe Island. A fantastic load of huge hook bait sardines were already loaded on the boat. As we approached Ensenada to check in, we received information from the Royal Star that Guadalupe was not happening so we changed course and headed towards Geronemo Island/Sacramento Reef area. Everyone was able to land several 20# class yellowtail. When not hooking yellowtail we hooked and released so many 4# class Calico Bass that they became a nuisance. We traveled another day further south looking for tuna but only found one stop for a handful of yellowfin. Back to Sacramento Reef for more yellowtail. Fished off-shore for the last day and found some dorado. We got to see a big Mako Shark steal Rick’s last fish of the trip. And another fun trip comes to an end.
Congratulations Jackpot Winners: David Thomas 27.8#, Gordon Toguchi 27.6# and Kub Ito 25.4#.Congratulations to David Thomas for winning a 300 Valiant for the Daily Prize for the largest fish. Gordon, Paulino and Chris received an Accurate hoodie as runner ups. I won an empty box.
