July 2015 Accurate 5-Day Trip; American Angler

By Gary Teraoka Fishing Accurate, american angler, fishing, tuna Comments Off

The annual Accurate sponsored 5-day trip on the American Angler started out fishing kelp patties for 20# yellowtail and school size yellowfin tuna. Day 1 finished with everyone catching near limits of both yellowtail and YFT. Day 2 was at Cedros. More 25-30# yellowtail and 5 white sea bass. Day 3 had us north of Cedros fishing in the same area as day 1. With all the passengers having as many yellowtail and YFT as they wanted, we went “trophy hunting” by moving north up to the “43” to try our luck on the large bluefin tuna. It was a Saturday and there were a lot of private boats there with us. We managed to get 6 hook ups and landed 3 of those. This settled the trip jackpot.

DSCN1854 — The Jackpot Winners Were All Bigger Model Bluefin Tuna (boy do I wish I could have hooked one like these)

Congratulation to the Jay Love (1st place, 178# BFT), Chuck Hone (2nd place, 177# BFT) and Daniel Oh (3rd place, 125# BFT).
