Norm Kagawa brought his Shogun back from a five-day trip to Cedros Island July 2 with near-limits of yellowtail, two nice white seabass and two halibut. The trip was sponsored by Blackwater. Anglers aboard said they saw some blue whales on the way home.

“If you can't tell by the recent reports,” wrote second skipper Bruce Smith June 30, “I love Cedros Island. And 99% of the passengers we bring here leave with the same feeling. When you cast a surface iron in front of a breezer of large yellowtail and then watch as fifteen yellows from that school peel off and follow your iron to the boat before crushing it at your feet, how could you not like this place?

Hello everyone, We are currently on our annual Purfield's 5 day adventure. The offshore fishing has been slow so we made the run down the coast to start the trip fishing yellowtail at the islands and we were not disappointed to say the least, the last 2 days of fishing has been outstanding for yellows in the 15 to 20 pound class. We also have had a few hits on the bigger fish in the 25 to 40 pound range along with a couple of nice halibut. The weather is very good as well. With a great catch of yellowtail in the hatch, we are planning to head offshore in search of albacore and bluefin.

The weather looks good, so wish us good luck that we get on'em. The Indy boys

We had a great day catching nice grade Tuna and Tails. Our morning bite was all large Yellows and provided some exciting action on the jumbo's. Tonight we are moving off to another offshore area in search of kelps and other types of fish to add to our catch. Wish us luck.

We had fantastic yellowtail fishing yesterday. 18 to 30 pound fish with great top water action. Hour after hour of none stop cranking and pulling. What a great day. It's been a while since we have seen that type of yellowtail fishing.

We will report again tomorrow

Hello Everyone,

Our weather today was ok today for the most part with mostly cloudy skies and anywhere from 10 to 15 knots of breeze. This afternoon it did pick up a bit more but it has since laid down making for a comfortable ride home. Fishing today was very slow. We did find several beautiful kelps but unfortunately only one produced just a handful of yellowtail. Tuna fishing was very tough as well with only a couple of jig strikes for our efforts. We will arrive at Fisherman�s Landing at 0600 hours tomorrow morning for a quick turn around on a three day trip. We will be sure to keep you posted. Wish us luck.

Tom Rothery docked his Polaris Supreme June 30 after a five-day Wagstaff/Beck trip with 24 anglers. The Supreme docked at Fisherman’s Landing and skipper Rothery weighed the best of the catch.

His last report came Sunday, June 28. It read, “The morning started off with great fishing on the nicer 30-pound-plus yellows. In the afternoon it was really wide open on the 16 to 18-pounders. Justin also landed a nice halibut. And still, our weather is absolutely gorgeous.”

Phil Dudley of Huntington Beach won first place for a 38.2-pound yellowtail. It bit a sardine on a 4/0 ringed Mustad hook tied to 50-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon leader and 65-pound Izorline Spectra. He fished with a Penn Baja Special reel and a Pacifica six-foot rod.

Hello Anglers,

Our first day of fishing was a success with 52 tuna and 44 yellowtail going in the RSW well. We even caught a 50 pound bigeye tuna as well. Most of the tuna were in the 40-60 pound class with a few bigger and a few smaller. The grade of the yellows were nice as too. The hot sticks today were Jan Howard and Steve Alexander who both seemed like they were hooked up all day. We will stay the night on the anchor and do it all again tomorrow.

It was another wonderful day here at Cedros island. The fishing was never wide open, but steady throughout the day with one to six fish on the end of the line all the time. First thing, before pulling anchor, the premium grade yellows made a showing, dropper loops with mackerel were the rigs of choice. After that it was out to deeper water to find schools of roaming school grade fish, which today, made up the majority of our catch. What was exciting today was to watch ten to fifteen yellowtail follow surface irons to the boat before one would race out from the pack and annihilate the 7X! What a show! This didn't just happen once, but many times during the day. Two white sea bass were also landed by Bob Kasaki(35 pounder) and Steve Hernandez(20 pounder). This mornings weather was warm with hardly a breeze, but so common to the south end and the Keller canal, by the afternoon we had a steady fifteen knots and lots of white caps.

We had a good day fishing once again here at the Rocks. The Tuna were not as numerous as last trip, but the quality is the same. We also had a very good day of Yellowtail fishing with many choosing to release their Yellows. It is so good to see that there are people who wish to preserve fishing for future generations. Everyone tagged a few and kept the standouts, but released anything on the smaller side of the scale. Weather is good and we are going to stay here for at least another day. Pictured with the Yellowtail is Peter Thomson, a first time long ranger, and he wishes to say Happy B-day to Stef...Also pictured is Mike Shirer and one of the nice tuna he caught today..

If Ray Lopez was a racehorse we’d say he broke his maiden, because he came back from his first trip as master of the American Angler as a winner. Ray docked the boat at Pt. Loma Sportfishing June 29, after an excellent yellowtail trip (listed as the Shaker Tour) with 25 anglers to Cedros Island.

“We had pretty steady action in the lee of the island,” Ray told dock reporter Bill Roecker at the landing scales. “We got near-limits of yellowtail. The most common rig was 40-pound line with the yoyo or the surface jig or a flylined sardine. The 7X jig was best in blue and white or scrambled eggs color.”

Sun. June 28, 2009:  

 We turned around yesterday and departed with the Mike Shirer group. After relaxing, rigging, tackle seminars, and preparing for tomorrows fishing we are pumped up and excited to see what the Rocks have in store for us this go around. Everyone enjoyed the days in various ways and stuffed ourselves on Javiers fine cuisine. Our E.T.A for Alijos is 7:30am.

 Wish us luck.

Good morning folks.

We had a great day yesterday and are staying at the Rocks again today. We managed two fish over 100 pounds and all other fish were 30  to 60 pounds. Pretty much the same fish as the last trip. Great action.

We will report again tomorrow

Sunday June 28

The morning started off with great fishing on the nicer 30 lb.+ yellows. In the afternoon it was really wide open on the 16-18 pounders. Justin also landed a nice halibut. And still, our weather is absolutely gorgeous. Tomorrow we will be heading back up to see if the bluefin and albacore have any interest in our baits.

Thanks again for checking in.

Tommy and crew

We left Friday on another 8 day trip down to the Alijos area.

A great line up on this trip with Billy Casper and David Choate leading the charge.

Accurate reels sponsored gives the group an opportunity to use some of the latest state of the art gear. With 26 Seeker/ Accurate setups we will have the gear in the event the fish want to bite. Other sponsors include Fisherman's landing tackle, Pelagic clothing , Braid,5 Star, Sportsmans Seafood, BHP, and Cal's 2 speed. We had a great raffle last night with some fantastic items to give away, thanks to the above sponsors. We will be at the Rocks tomorrow in the morning.

We will report then.

quality vs quantity

With reports of slow fishing on the tuna grounds, we opted to stay the night at the island and enjoy the good weather. We woke up in the morning and never had to pull the anchor as we kept steady on these nice big yellows. From lined baits to surface irons every bite was a thrill. With having only half a day to fish, we picked it up around lunch and started heading up the line to put us in position for the tuna grounds.
