Stan Vanderburg 11 Day

by Indy Crew, 11-01-2024


Happy Birthday Chuck

 

We gave it our best shot today but couldn't land a big one. We had one early bite that unfortunately broke us off on 100lb. Despite the tough day, everyone worked hard. Tonight, we're moving up north to target yellowtail, wahoo, and 30-50 pound yellowfin tuna.

We had an incredible day battling 30-70 pound yellowfin tuna! We also caught some 18-30 pound yellowtail to top things off. Now, we're heading out west to chase wahoo first thing tomorrow morning

Despite the wind and choppy sea state, we didn't let it dampen our spirits! We had a great time catching wahoo, yellowfin, and yellowtail. With better weather forecast for tomorrow, we're excited to target more wahoo

We're pretty stoked on our wahoo catch over the last two days, especially considering the weather and the reports prior. Now, we're heading up the coast to see if we can add some yellowtail to the mix and finish this trip strong.

We wrapped up our last day of the trip with perfect weather and some fun coastal fishing. We caught a halibut, pargo, pinto bass, and plenty of calico and sand bass on plastics. To top it off, we had a great afternoon of yellowtail fishing. Time to head home!

Youngs Tackle 10 Day

by Brian Pifer, 11-11-2024


We kicked off our Young's Tackle 10-day trip yesterday afternoon with a fantastic group of people. Kevin Kwon hosted an awesome giveaway/raffle for everyone. To top off the day, Chef and Rolo prepared another incredible sushi spread.

We had a solid start to the day with some great yellowtail fishing! Once the bite slowed down, we headed offshore and BOOM! We found a school of hungry yellowfin tuna. The fishing has been insane! We’re heading even further south tomorrow to see what other surprises the ocean has in store.

We kicked off the day with some incredible yellowtail and yellowfin tuna! As we cruised down to the lower banks, we even snagged a wahoo! We’re fired up to target some big fish tomorrow. Let’s see what the lower banks have in store for us!

Youngs Tackle 10 Day

by Brian Pifer, 11-13-2024


We started off the day on the lower banks and landed a MONSTER tuna over 200 pounds! Sharon was the lucky angler to reel in this beast. After a few more heart broken opportunity on these big fish, we're heading back up the line to target more tuna before switching gears to wahoo.

We conquered the choppy waters this morning and were rewarded with some epic yellowtail fishing! And just when we thought we were away from the tuna, they found us in 60 feet of water to top it off. What a day!
