So begins another adventure as we work South on our annual Lets talk Hookup trip which this year is a twelve day.A nice leisurely ride rigging gear is all we have to report for now but we're hoping that all changes when we start fishing on the 29th. Hope everyone has recovered from the holidays and we can provide some excitement for your upcoming work week..

Nice steady scratching on quality tuna to start the trip here at the big C today. The bite and size of fish progressively improved throughout the day and culminated with a nice shot at sundown that produced 12 fish from 100-234lbs. The average fish was 70-130 with a 214 and a 234 being the standouts.
Hanging tight enjoying the weather, hoping for another good day tomorrow.

A great day of angling on trophy tuna that started with a ripper morning bite followed by a slow scratch until the late afternoon when we had a classic sundowner. The overall grade was better today with numerous fish in the 100-130lb range in addition to a handfull of 175lbers and two more over 200. Flyline or a one ounce slider with a sardine on 100-130 flouro accounted for all the fish today.With a few more days we are settled in with high hopes that the bite continues.

Todays shot shows Royal Star regulars Kamell Allaway and Doug Taylor who teamed up on this deuce which ate both their baits.

A little slower pace today which helps to keep the fish in premium condition. Most of the fish were weighed, bled, gutted and in thirty degree seawater within ten minutes of hitting the deck which makes for incredible quality. Our tally was 30 tuna from 80-180 with the bulk of the fish over 100. In addition to good fishing our weather has been incredible, balmy and grease calm. We plan to give this at least one more full day.

A memorable day of big tuna angling to finish up our stay here at the big C. We started scratching right away this morning with the bite continuing through lunch before tapering off. It was looking like we werent going to get our evening shot when out of the blue a school of 130-190lbers got on us and put on an incredible show until after dark. When the dust settled we had 41 for the day, most of which were between 130-180lbs with three more over 200. With the adrenaline meters pegged after a great finale we bid Clarion a fond farewell and started heading back up the line. Our plan is to look on the way up then try the beach for yellows to break up the ride.

We've had a great ride up and plan on fishing yellows around Cedros this afternoon before continuing our trek northward.
Our shot today shows Ron Dargo who used to work at Fishermans Ldg Tackle with a solid deuce taken on the kite at sundown.
P.S. Maxa wants all the girls at F.L. Tackle to know that the bar has been raised with his 211.
