The Dodo was my second that day out of Buena Vista on the East Cape. The other was 26 kilos this guy was 32 kilos. Big day small boat. The Bluefin I caught, handlined and gaffed solo. It was in November off San Clemente on the kite Flyer rig. 5th blowup finally stuck. It was hot but the owner was happy and called it a day to celebrate Lee side of Catalina. I wanted to get a few more but the bite was off the next morning. Gotta hit while the iron is hot

Off shore the Bluefin on overnight and especially 1.5 day trips has been good for 100 pound plus units. Lots of kelps holding 8-12 pound Yellowtail as well. Witchy Woman is our 40 knot vessel which can get to those big bluefin on 10-12 hr trips.

Ian here at KingTriton Sport Fishing!!! So we got in to the Bluefin this last week before the bite slowed down. Had a few hookups on the Nomad MadMacs 200g Silver Pink stripe. Had a double hook up on yellowtail trolling by a kelp patty that turned in to a pretty good drift for some yellows which was super fun. The weather came up a bit so we plan to get back in to it this following week.
