First day out (101007)

Hello everyone; Weather today was great for traveling south, but if you were going home, it might be an up and down ride. Clear skies, with a stiff wind out of the northwest at 15 to 18 knots. This was our first day of looking for fish, and we did make a stop at San Benito's Island and Cedros Island. Our first stop was at San Benito's Island. We made a few stops with nothing to show for it, so Roy moved the boat to the south side of Cedros Island. With the wind kicking up, it was hard to drift, so we dropped the anchor. We did manage to pick a few Yellows from the kelp. But it was not enough action to keep us around, so we headed south to Clam bay. We arrived to Clam bay around 21:00 hours, dropped the anchor and caught 1 Yellowtail. We are now waiting for the sun to come up and start looking around. So wish us luck and we will keep you posted on our upcoming events. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Yellows bite at Cedros (100707)

Hello everyone; Well Neptune and Mother-nature made up and the sea is calm once again. We had wonderful weather all day long. Clear skies, flat seas, and warm. We arrived to Cedros in the early morning hour. Our passenger's had a fun full day fishing Yellow's the day before, so most did start fishing until the sun came up. After a hearty breakfast, we pulled the anchor and started looking for Yellowtail. It didn't take long before the Yellows found us. We had quality Yellows boiling around the boat. Most of the Yellowtail were in the 25 to 30 pound catogory. I guess you could say today was a good day. We had some Sardines left over, so we would try our luck at Halibut. After a few shorty's were landed, we started catching a few legals. We would catch 9 legals up-to 25 pounds. We did hook a few larger one's, but they you would win there freedom back to the sandy bottom of Cedros. We had an excellent day of fishing at Cedros island. Once the sunset, we pulled the anchor and started heading north. We will give our passenger's a try at some Rock-cod tomorrow morning for a few hours, then head for San Diego. So with that note I will close for now. Until tomorrow, wish us luck, and we will keep you posted. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Yellowtail on the bite (100607)

Hello everyone; Our weather today was not so pleasant. We had winds up to 25 knots, with a very confused sea. But the weather didn't stop the Yellowtail from biting. We arrived to the fishing grounds around 09:30 hours, and it didn't take the Yellow's long to start biting. We had limit style fishing, and now we are headed to Cedros Island and try our luck at some larger Yellowtail. Most of the Yellowtail were in the 12 to 15 pound range. We are hoping that our weather will change before we have to head for home. So until tomorrow, wish us luck and we will keep you posted on our upcoming events. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

The Ridge (100507)

Friday, 05 October 2007 18:22

Hello everyone; Well all good things must come to an end, and that's what happened to our weather. We had 12 to 15 knots most of the day, but by night fall it was 18 to 20 knots. So traveling up hill was not a pleasant ride. But it can't last forever. Our Fishing started offshore looking for kelps, but with 80 plus degrees water temperature, most of the kelp has burned up. So with that in mind, and not finding anything, we made our move to the Ridge. We started at Thetis bank and made our way up to the 23 fathom bank. Our first stop we caught one Yellowtail, and lost a very large Grouper. Then on to the 38 fathom spot, were we caught a handful of nice size Yellowtail (18 to 25 pounds). But that was short and sweet, so we move on. The next stop was the 23 fathom spot, were we caught a couple of Wahoo, and that was our day. So it was time to make a decision on what to do tomorrow. Moving north our next stop will be for Yellowtail up the line, then may be Cedros Island the next day, so wish us luck and we will keep you posted on our upcoming events. The R/p crew.

Another good day (100407)

Hello everyone; Our weather took a change today, with overcast skies and a slight breeze. The sun did make a brief showing late, but it was nice to have a breeze to keep it cool. Fishing also took a change, our morning was a bit slow, with the fishing showing, but not biting. But in the afternoon, things would change. The fish would start to bite late today, and this is a big change from the first two days. The Yellowfin were in the 60 to 80 pound class, with a few going over the century mark. We departed the fishing grounds around 18:00 hours, and headed for Magdalena bay for bait. After we made a few tanks of bait, Billy made the decision to try our luck at some offshore Wahoo. To we will start looking offshore for something floating. We will start making our way north. Offshore for the morning, and start fishing the Ridge in the afternoon for some Yellowtail and Grouper. The passengers are having a ball, and look forward to catching some other species. So wish us luck and we will keep you posted on our upcoming events. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Hello everyone; Well the fall season is upon us. Weather today was just gorgeous, with flat seas, clear skies, and very warm days. With great weather what more could you ask for. It's early October, what more could you ask for. Excellent Yellowfin fishing. That's what I said. We had an excellent day of Yellowfin tuna fishing. With most of the fish in the 65 to 80 range, and we are seeing fish over 175 pounds. The out look for the fall season looks great. So if you haven't made your reservation yet, it might be a bit to late. Our morning started early with a handful of fishing coming aboard. But as the day went on, the fishing just got better. We caught fish on the kite, fly-line Sardine, sinker rigs, Flying Fish, Iron. There is so much life down here right now, it really looks good for upcoming trips. We have another boat in the area, and they are seeing just as much action as us. This is early for the fish this year, and we don't know what to expect on the inner banks, once we start fishing that far south. It could be another banner year. We will give this another day, before we have to start working our way home. We will try to get some bait tonight in Magdalena bay. We tried an area tonight, but the bait didn't cooperate with us. We are hoping for another good day, before we have to start making our way back up the line. Now this is what the doctor order. So until tomorrow, wish us luck and we will keep you posted on our upcoming events. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"
