Trip 22-14 Western States Metal Roofing Update

by Brian Pifer, 7-02-2022


We left yesterday morning on our Western States Metal Roofing trip with a great group of people. We traveled a long way too and it paid off for us last night. It was as good as it gets on flatfall fishing. We scratched a few fish here today but hoping for another big hit tonight. Stay tuned!

Trip 22-14 Western States Metal Roofing Update

by Brian Pifer, 7-02-2022


Spent all day looking at foamers and flat spots all day yesterday for very little results. Very impressive sign of fish that aren't ready to bite yet. Last night we found one school that produced some biting fish on the jigs. We are finishing up our last day at the island to break things up and get out of the weather.  We'll be back in tomorrow morning just shy of limits of bluefin for our 3 day. Everyone had a great time and thank you everyone for coming out. We'll see you tomorrow morning.

Trip 22-17 Sherman's Tuna Runner's Update

by Brian Pifer, 7-12-2022


Hi everyone, sorry for delaying on our post the last few days. We left on our Sherman Tuna Runner 4 day and headed west to focus on bluefin tuna. We had very good fishing last night on big fish. Most of the fish were 80-200 pounds. Today we are trying kelps for yellowtail and dorado. So far so good. We've had decent fishing on good grade yellowtail and hope for more to come. We'll keep you posted.

Trip 22-19 Tahoe Tuna UPDATE

by Matt Kaullen, 7-27-2022


Tahoe Tuna update:

The fishing has been remarkable. We had some good wahoo fishing to go with our yellowtail and yellowfin today. The guys have been at it the past couple days tugging away on beautiful fish. The smiles are contagious with these guys and gals. We have a few hours and a few tags left to make a couple cod drifts day after tomorrow. Until then we will enjoy the great weather on our ride up.
