Independence Sportfishing - Current Conditions 6/11/09

Our Computer seems to be having a few bugs so transmitting is slightly off. The Fishing the last few days has been outstanding. Yellowtail ranged for 15-25 pounds. Today's catch was seemed to be even better than the day before. Today 2 white seabass were amongst the hot bite of yellowtail. Friday we are going to fish off shore for Albacore, and then head for home. Check back for an ETA. Mark, Jeff and the Indy Boys.

Yellowtail Shootout Brings Biscuit Brace

Owner mark Pisano and skipper Jeff DeBuys took turns driving the Independence on a five-day trip that returned to Pt. Loma Sportfishing June 13. Sponsors Avet, Sav-On Tackle and West Coast Marketing put many prizes on the boat for big yellowtail, and the anglers responded by catching about all they needed.

"We fished at Cedros and Benitos," said Pisano, "but not much offshore. We had very nice weather."

A pair of dandy white seabass took the top two spots in the jackpot. The best one was a 41.4-pound caught by Sam Esposto of Burbank. Sam baited a mackerel on a 4/0 ringed Mutu hook and a dropper loop with a 16-ounce weight.

He said he fished with 60-pound P-Line and 80-pound Line One Spectra on an Avet Pro 30 reel and a Calstar 765 L rod.

David Taylor of Sav-on Tackle won second with the other white seabass, a 41-pounder. Dale Lethcoe of Sunland took third place for a 36-pound mossback yellowtail that clamped down on his Salas 5X jig in red, white and black.

Independence Sportfishing - Current Conditions 6/14/09

Hello everyone, We are back from our yellowtail shoot-out and we had a great trip with a graet group of anglers. The money jackpot went to the top three fish and they were Sam Esposto with a 41.4 white sea bass, 2nd place went to Dave Taylor with a 41.0 white sea bass and rounding out the big fish was Dale Lethcoe's 36.0 yellowtail. Great job on the Big Ones, guys. We want to thank our sponsors for this year's annual Y.T. shoot-out, Harry and Sarkas from Avet Reels who have been long time sponsors of us, going back to the Islander days. Most of the top ten yellows were caught using the JX and LX avets including the largest yellowtail for the trip. All of our loaner tackle on the Independence has been Avet and Seeker rods from day one and they continue to be a big part of our success. A big thanks goes out to Rick Ozaki from Westcoast marketing which includes Graf-tech rods, Fish Trap Iron, and Seaguar fluorocarbon Line, as well as long time tackle shop sponsor Sav-on Tackle and Rodger Eckhardt for all there give away gifts and help.

We would like to thank everyone who made the trip this year. Next year will be a six day yellowtail shoot-out, so it will give another day to target trophy yellowtail, possibly at Guadalupe Island or Alijos Rocks. For the trip we ended up with 428 yellowtail, 2 White Sea Bass, 1 Black sea bass released and lots and lots of Calico bass, most of which were released. We have departed on our Big fish Tackle 8 Day Adventure and are headed south in good weather with a great load of bait. We will report in later with our first day's report.

Independence Sportfishing - Current Conditions 6/16/09

Hello everyone, The e-mail onboard the boat is still down. I did however talk to captain Jeff Debuys tonight and this is his report for the first two days of fishing. They headed down toward alijos and in route to the rocks looked at an area that had some signs of albacore and bluefin tuna. The wind was up a bit in the 15 to 18 range, they did not have a whole lot to work on as 3 yellowfin tuna and one albacore in the 20 pound range were all they had to show for their efforts. The gang arrived at the rocks at noon and had very good action on yellowtail with many in the 30 to 45 pound range, along with 18 yellowfin tuna most in the 35 to 55 pound range, the biggest being 90 pounds. Today however the tuna bit much better with 85 beautiful yellowfin hitting deck of the Independence, most of which again were 30 to 55 pounds. The yellowtail also made a good showing thoughout the day and 130 fish were tagged, many of which in the 30 to 45 pound bracket. The weather has been about 15 knots and choppy seas but during the course of the day the wind backed off until they had to use a balloon on the kite to keep it flying. Jeff said they are planning to spend another day doing the same and see how it goes, he did mention the Excel on a 5 day trip had 80 mixed albacore and bluefin today and wants to check that out for at least one if not 2 days on the way home. The 7 and 8 day trips this year have seen some great fishing and are really the best valued trips we offer. Next season's schedule will be up in the next week, so if you want to plan on fishing one of these trips with us next year check back and give us a ring for more info. Thanks for checking in and stay tuned for more on the big fish tackle 8 day adventure.

Independence update for 06-17-2009

Hello again, Jeff called in tonight with the days report, Fishing was again good for both yellowfin tuna in the 30 to 60 pound range and yelowtail in the 18 to 40 pound range. They had about 140 mixed fish with a few stand-out yellows up to 45 pounds and a few bigger tuna as well. They took off and are headed up the line to try a day at one of the islands to try to finish off on there limits of yellowtail and then fish the last full day offshore for albacore and bluefin. This 8 day is turning out to to be another great trip. The weather is flat calm as well. Check back for reports on the last 2 days of fishing.

Independence Update for June 18, 2009

Today was another good day of fishing in beautiful flat calm weather with the Baja coast as the back drop. Yellowtail fishing for 14 to 18 pound fish was the order of the day. They bit jigs and bait both and the guys finished off their trip limits on the yellows. Tomorrow the gang will be offshore fishing in the albacore/bluefin area so hopefully the good fortune continues. Check back and see how the day goes. We have room on the first (3) 5 day trips in july, with the albacore, bluefin tuna and yellowtail all in easy range. These trips have the potential to be really good variety trips. Give us a call and get onboard the Indy.
