Good evening folks. We successfully made it through a very sloppy night of weather to arrive our destination in the early morning hours. After trolling around for a bit and with only a small handful of wahoo to show for our efforts we decided to drop anchor to get setup for tuna fishing. Not long after we got established in our spot the tuna's started to bite a little bit and this trend would continue throughout the morning. Nice grade of fish too. 40-65 lbs. with a few bigger and a few smaller to round out our already stellar catch of fish. We certainly didn't land everything we hooked and we had some real heartbreaks. Whether it was pulled hooks, chew-off's, or shark related incidents we did lose our share of fish, but that's fishing. Needless to say, we were happy with what we threw in the fish holds this morning. While  doing work on the tuna the wahoo seemed to build up as the day progressed as well and we picked away at them when they rolled on through. Kind of herky-jerky fishing to be honest with you. Does one tie on a wire leader for wahoo and risk the chance of not getting a tuna bite or does one stick with straight mono and risk the chance of landing a wahoo? Either way, we still lost a lot of wahoo and when the tuna bite disappeared we pulled anchor to go take care of some wahoo fishing proper. Marauders, bombs/raiders, and wire leaders. We were ready to roll as were the wahoo and we slowly but surely put a really nice day together on the skins. A real nice grade of fish too. Definitely a few more hoo's from 40-60 lbs were captured today. Breaking it down, we had a very nice day on the skin with a nice mix of tuna to go along with it. We're happy and we couldn't have asked for a better way to end our stay down here. 

When all was said and done, our wahoo honey hole had dried up and we pointed her on-course for yellowtail land to try to not only get in a few hours fishing tomorrow but also to try and avoid the weather that's forcasted. Our weather is currently OK. It could definitely be better but as long as the water pitchers are staying on the dinner table you're not going to hear too much more complaints out of us. We'll be trying for some of those premium yellowtail's to put a lid on the Garry Roberts 9 day trip. We bid you farewell, happy September, and we'll chat with you tomorrow.

Hello everyone;

Weather continues to be good, with lots of sunshine, clear skies, and just enough breeze to keep the heat down. We started morning looking for Yellows, but their was none to be found. So we made a move to the north, and we started picking away at the Yellows. Most of the fish were in the 12 to 15 pound range.

We made a short move to try our luck at some Calico bass, and we didn't get disappointed. We had a steady bite on the Calico, and one lonely Halibut (about 15 pounds). With the offshore bite not happening, we will give it another try for the Yellowtail tomorrow. So wish us luck, and we will keep you posted on our daily events. The R/p crew.

Grateful

Starting off the day at the bottom end of things gave us the advantage of covering new territory. Not knowing what was off our bow kept the excitement level high. And it wasn't until around 10 o'clock that we found warmer water and sea life - feeling pretty confident that we were in the zone.

After stopping on several different deals of fish, some cooperated and some did not... but lack of fish wasn't the issue! In the end we were very grateful for our 26 yellowfin tuna and beautiful weather.

Today's picture stars Dave and Dave Samarin showing off their quality yellowfin.
Before signing off, we would like to give a very special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Samarin for putting together another successful year.

Hello everyone;

We arrived to our distention at 10:30 hours. We have excellent weather, with a slight breeze out of the northwest, and sunny. The Yellowtail bite for today was steady. Most of the Yellowtail were in the 15 to 18 pound range, with a few going up-to 25 pounds.

We will make a short move tonight, and give it the old college try tomorrow, so wish us luck. The R/p crew.

It was a great way to finish up the month of August. The yellowtail started first thing and continued throughtout the day. We first started off with that good grade, 16 to 25 pounds, of fish boiling and crashing baits all around the boat.

Then later we changed spots and found some the "premium" will to bite. It was a great all around day at Cedros.

Thank God for Cedros island.

Good position

We had one more morning in the lee before having to move up. Today we spent our time making drifts yanking and cranking, scratching at yellows. After a rfun morning it was already time to start heading up the line in order to put ourselves in position for some tuna fishing for our last day - with fair local offshore reports, we are staying positive and keeping the faith.

Turn off the wind

Hi friends. After having the kind of day like we had yesterday, it was pretty much known by all that today was a wahoo or bust kind of day. Well, if we were going by that then today would be a bust. In reality, it wasn't but we really were hoping for a cherry on the wahoo but it never happened. Once again, we have some pretty good back-up plans and they worked out just fine for us. The morning session for us was more dorado and yellowtail, most of which we released but we did keep a couple nicer models of both as well. In the afternoon time we got on another breezer of that 18-25 lb. class of yellowfin tuna and we slowly but surely put together a nice drift on those creatures. If we really wanted to, we could've easily had all we needed on that size of fish but we obtained another cliche saying "go big or go home". In actuality, that is what we're doing for our final leg of the trip. We pointed her on course mid-afternoon to our final stop on the Garry Roberts extravaganza and we'll be looking for trophies and then going home. Currently, our weather is sloppy and serving dinner is a little bit challenging but Barry/Mark are pushing through and getting it done. Just trying to type this report is rather difficult with the weather but Paul Simon and Capt. Drew are helping me get over the hump.

So that is all. Nothing much to talk about today. Just remember, go big or go home. We'll arrive to destination "large fish" tomorrow morning in the early hours. Take care now.

Richie and The Supremes'

P.S. I'd like to wish a happy birthday to my lovely mother Cindy. Happy Birthday Mom. Don't party too hard tonight. Also, Chase says hi Julie.

After traveling until lunch time we arrived at Cedros. As soon as we got the anchor down the yellows came up and everyone had one on for the first couple of go arounds. Then after that it was one to four going for the remainder of the day. Towards evening we made a move into shallow water where John Collis landed a big broomtail grouper.

 It was a good day fishing in excellent weather.

Having enjoyed a beautiful night out of the wind, we woke up this morning with fish on the brain. With tough conditions and trying to be patient, we were able to focus, set the anchor down and get to work. A nice steady pace on yoyo jigs and fly line baits kept us busy til lunch giving us a nice start to our day on 16-25lb yellowtail. Making a short southerly afternoon scenery change, we were able to pick up some premium yellows to complete our day.

Getting some of the sweat off, we are going to spend another night in the lee and hope to finish the job tomorrow.

We arrived at Cedros today for a little late afternoon action. Good weather and nice Yellows on the yoyo iron and bait help make these shorter trips fun..The honeymoon couple of Ryan and Amy had some good action at the rail. We will try again tomorrow for some more Yellows and some nice trophy Calicos

Time of day

Leaving the dock with a good jump, we steamed down to our first destination of the trip in hopes of catching the afternoon bite. With excellent morning reports, we had high expectations of getting to work and using tags, but when we arrived after lunch, we were introduced to a totally different island. What was the morning hot spot, wasn't so hot in the afternoon - but after various anchor jobs and drifts we scraped up 47 good grade yellowtail.
Spending the night in the lee and looking for a nice fresh start tomorrow.

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Hi friends. I'm going to be blunt with you guys. Things didn't quite work out like we had hoped for today. With the decent sign of fish we saw yesterday we never in our wildest dreams would've thought today would've ended up like it did. But, if there is one guarantee in fishing it's that things are guaranteed to change...and they did. We awoke this morning to find that the weather also did a complete 180 from yesterday with a stiff breeze and a following swell to go along with it. We saw sign right from the get-go when we began fishing and first thing this morning we boated a couple nice tuna in the 50 lb. class. Then all of a sudden, it died. No sign whatsoever. Where they went, we don't know. They're probably just down with the weather up, that's our best guess. We did scratch up a couple handfuls of wahoo this morning and a couple of anglers landed their first ever skin (congrats) but all in all, it wasn't enough to keep us around to finish out the day. Right around lunch time we decided to point the bow towards greener pastures (hopefully) and give this place a day or so to regroup not only fish-wise but weather-wise as well. On our travels today, we came across a few kelp patties that were either holding "fly-swatter" dorado's or nothing at all. Our weather is a tad bit rolly but it's definitely manageable. We'll be at our next destination tomorrow morning and we'll take it from there. Enjoy your Sunday and we'll chat with you tomorrow.

On a sad note, on August 28th, 2010 Capt. Drew unintentionally parted ways with his lucky dykes and he asked me to say a few words for our fallen brother. All I'd like say is you became not only a dear friend to all of us on-board but also a part of our family here on the Polaris Supreme. You worked hard and for that I say this, good-night sweet prince.

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Good evening. Now that things have settled down here I have time to fill you guys in on our day. We arrived to our destination in the late morning time and we immediately began dragging the jigs it didn't take long for a couple of wahoo to find themselves on the wrong end of those jigs. We bombarded them with the usual barrage of jigs, bombs, and bait rigs and all the fancy gear we threw at them didn't matter this morning. The wahoo weren't in the biting mood early today but the small dorado sure did enjoy everything we threw at them. We tagged a few of them and took a few for the galley but we released the majority of them. Anyhow, after patrolling the area for wahoo and coming up short we decided to get the anchor down and do some tuna fishing. Right out of the gate, it was on. If you could get a bait to swim away from the boat you were tugging on a tuna. One problem, they were footballs (12 lbs. or less). We applied the same practice on the tuna that we did with the dorado. Sashimi, poki, and ceviche will be had for afternoon snacks in the very near future. We did happen to find a few of those nicer tuna swimming around and I'd have to say our hook to land ratio was pretty good. We didn't set any records today on our count but we had a nice start to our trip on 40-70 lb. Yellowfin tuna.

So the tuna thing fizzled out in the afternoon and we busted a move around the ridge on the hunt for wahoo. Problem was, those pesky dorado found us again. Kind of frustrating to be honest with you. We kept at it with the trolling jigs and we finally got rewarded with a couple nice "bingos" on wahoo in the late afternoon time. Our last stop of the day was pure mayhem. Fast-paced wahoo action is chaos to begin with, now add in the factor of the dark of night, what a circus. I mean that in a good way though, it really keeps not only us crew members on our toes but our anglers as well. It was somewhat of a challenge at times to keep track of things but we were all plenty ready for the task. Bring it on. We ended our day with a nice deck load of wahoo's and we're currently anchored up with the hopes of a nighttime yellowtail bite (here we go again). We'll see what gathers up underneath us tonight and we'll be at it first thing tomorrow morning. With day 1 in the books, we're anticipating an even better day manana. On that note, we're tired, we're hungry, we're out. Take care.

Richie and crew.

P.S. Couple things here gang. First off, Hurricane Frank is no longer a hurricane, it's a tropical depression and it in no way has had any affect on us whatsoever. It never did to begin with. End of story. We're all good. Also, the boats fishing yellowfin closer to home once again had a very good day on 15-25 lb. fish. Just reminding you to give Susan a call about our Sept. 4-7 trip and come join us for some late season tuna action.

Hello again from the Indy. Here is what we've been up to the last few days. We started the trip off yesterday with some afternoon yellowtail fishing, and did much of the same today. The fishing for big yellows and monster calicos was really good today for everyone on board. The weather was absolutely perfect. All methods were working, including great surface iron; the salsa 7x and 5x did a good job on them bigguns. We are going to try our hand at the offshore scene for tomorrow, so please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

 Frank checked in last night from their 5 day trip as fishing was fun on the first day with 35 Yellowtail in the 25 – 32 pound range. We had excellent Calico bass in the 8 pound range. We also had a 40 pound White Sea bass caught by Kathy Rounds.

On day two they had limit syle fishing on the yellowtail with a few nice halibut and bags of reds. Today they are on the hunt for yellowfin and Frank will keep us up to date.

Good evening folks. Today was a standard travel day for us on the Polaris Supreme. After breakfast we had a full in-depth tackle seminar on the various types of fishing we'll be employing on this 9 day trip. Trolling for Wahoo, jig fishing for Wahoo, bait fishing for Wahoo/Tuna, and kite fishing were all explained in detail and tomorrow we will be testing our anglers on everything they've learned. Other than that, the gang rigged tackle, made wahoo leaders, took naps, or just lounged around and enjoyed a lovely day rolling down swell in super weather. As for the crew, we completed some miscellaneous maintenance jobs as well as make sure our wahoo/tuna tackle were in tip- top condition. Standard travel day. Just a laid back, relaxing day to get us prepared for the next few days of fishing. Reports sound encouraging from the area so we're ready to get on down there and get at em'. We should arrive at our destination tomorrow morning sometime. In the meantime, we've got turkey on the brain and Barry/Mark vow not to disappoint. Thanksgiving in August. Sweet. Chat with you tomorrow.

Hello Anglers,

The fishing is still outstanding here at the Rocks with good action on both wahoo and tuna. For the last two days the wahoo have shown up first just after breakfast with the tuna not too far behind. Most of the wahoo are great big ones averaging around 40 pounds or bigger. The tuna are mixed with the bigger ones showing in the afternoon. We decided after three days here, we were ready to move on and check out other areas. One thing that caught my attention was the warm water pushing up on the Ridge. So tomorrow we will start at the bottom and troll our way up the high spots looking for wahoo and dorado. The weather is very nice for our ride across. Wish us luck.... JUSTIN

Hello folks!  The Chef's special trip is turning out to be wonderful trip.  Folks enjoyed learning how to make sushi and the intricacies involved in making sushi.  Chef Jeff Robert from Sushi on a Roll shared some of his secrets and then put out an excellent spread.  Jeff has also made Hors' d'oeuvres twice. Chef Steve Black from the Sheraton San Diego has put on two outstanding meals including Short Ribs which our passengers raved over. The other was Yellowtail with a mango sauce served over mashed yams with two different sauces.

Fishing was fun with 35 Yellowtail in the 25 - 32 pound range.  We had excellent Calico bass in the 8 pound range.  We also had a 40 pound White Sea bass caught by Kathy Rounds.

Sorry there are no pictures but our computer is down.  We'll post photos once D is back onboard and gets the new computer going....

Howdy anglers,

Our efforts to be a tuna boat were not completely a loss. We managed to capture a single bluefin tuna, and we did it at the last minute of our day.

So we're on our way home and will come back out for a 3-day trip with Capt Art at the helm. The weather is acceptable and the forecast looks favorable.

So good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon,
Capt Aaron

Plenty of room on some great upcoming trips.

ANOTHER DAY OF FUN IN THE LEE

Today was our day to target the premium size fish and that's just what we did. We have been really blessed to have such a great fishery while we wait for something to change in the near future.

The photos of the day are Mark & Mike, Ray and the AA famous Nate. We are having a nice dinner right now and wlll be heading home soon

Hi friends. We arrived back to Fisherman's Landing this morning at 7:30, a little later than our expected ETA due to the weather but we made it. We began the task of unloading the beautiful catch of yellowtail that Joe Beck and friends captured and all were amazed by the display of toads wheeled up to the scales this morning. You couldn't ask for not only better quality but better quantity of yellows that we brought home with us, it was just a stellar trip, plain and simple. Oh by the way, Greg Dewitt's white seabass weighed in at 57 lbs. with some of the belly missing due to "seal interaction". Congratulations Greg, some people fish for seabass exclusively and have never caught a toad like that one. Our thanks goes out to Joe Beck and the gang for being such a pleasure to have on-board and to the entire group, we'll see you again real soon.

So today we departed on the infamous Garry Roberts 9 day extravaganza with a whole bunch of familiar faces joining Garry and ourselves for a good time. We're pretty happy with our load of bait and we're currently very happy with our weather as well. On a side note, this trip means a couple of different things for us crew-members on the Polaris Supreme. It means not only the half-way point of the 2010 season but it also means the beginning of our transition from our Summer 3-5 day trips into our late Summer/early Fall 7-10 day trips.  The places that we would normally stop and fish in the previous months are merely travel points to let us know how much further we still have to go to points south. A thought process transition from Albacore, Bluefin, Yellowtail are now thoughts of big Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and Dorado corroding our fish holds. The trolling feathers are stowed away and the big Marauders are ready to be set back into the wake. It's definitely a special time of the year and we welcome the change with open arms. Here we go. We're fired up, to say the least.

Enough gab for one day, we'll report to you tomorrow and let you know about all the fun one can have on a travel day aboard the Polaris Supreme. Take care.

Howdy anglers,

Today we targeted some different species and �they didnt bite but we managed to catch some more yellows along the way as we worked up the line to get us in position to try for some tuna, Those things gotta bite sometime soon so we're hoping tomorrow is the day!

The weather is great going up had sun all day long and it's great traveling up so cross your fingers for us tomorrow and we willl let ya know how it pans out.

Good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon,
Capt. Aaron

Plenty of room on some great upcoming trips.

Friends, I have some excellent news. WE CAUGHT A WHITE SEABASS...FINALLY! I was beginning to think that these fish where just some urban legend or a figment of our imaginations. Anyhow, we arrived to the spot at around 2:00 in the morning, dropped the anchor, and the gang got after it with various jigs and dropper loop assortments. It was that type of fishing where you just send your rig to the bottoms, cradle your rig under your arm, sip coffee and BS with the person next to you. At about 5:00 in the morning, the sun was just starting to crack when Mr. Greg Dewitt's reel started screaming. After wraps on the propellers, wraps on the anchor chain, and a fight with a seal, we successfully boated the beast. Sweet, estimated weight is around 45 lbs. or so. A beautiful fish and congrats to Greg. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. A little after that, Kub Ito hooked one but when we boated the fish, a groan of disappointment rang out as all Kub did was catch a 25 lb. Yellowtail. It must've been a great trip if we're bummed about catching another quality yellowtail.

So that was our morning. A Yellowtail and a white seabass for a couple hours in the morning light and after that we called it a trip.

Hello Anglers,

We arrived to the Rocks around 0830 and were immediately greeted by some frisky wahoo. The guys managed to boat a dozen out of the first drift and many, many more got away with our hooks and lures. We went from drift to drift for most of the A.M. scratching at skin and when we finally put the anchor down for the afternoon, the tuna kept us busy up until dark. Most of the tunas were school size today but we did see good sign of the big boys. Maybe tomorrow. We will spend the night on the anchor and do it all again tomorrow. Just as a side note, the outlook on the fall fishery looks great. The Rocks have been consistent for us and with the water warming up every day, there are more and more wahoo moving in. Also, the ridge is shaping up nicely with good sign of just about all the major species, tuna, wahoo, yellowtail, dorado, and grouper. Ive also heard whispers of cows already showing on the lower banks. I talked to the office today and the informed me that there are still spots available on many fall trips. Our next trip down here will be on the 7 day trip from September 9th-16th with a great group aboard. The trip will be in honor of Bill Poole and there are still spots available. Hope to see you out here.... JUSTIN

Today our good weather and good fishing continued. An early troll produced a few Wahoo, then we got the anchor down and proceeded to enjoy a steady pick on tuna. The tuna were the same grade as yesterday, but we had a much higher percentage of the larger grade. The flyline sardine was the hot rig and the fish uncharacteristically spread themselves out amongst our anglers. In the late afternoon, the bite slowed and we took off. We will be up on the coast looking for yellows tomorrow. Our first picture today shows a happy Mitch Otera with a 70# yellowfin. Mitch puts a lot of work into his charter to ensure a good time is had by all. Our second shot is of Mike Russell and crewman Blake wasano. Mike landed his 58.5# Wahoo on straight 20# mono along with bragging rights for this unconventional catch.
