Tahoe Tuna club......

Good evening everybody, we departed on the 7th annual Tahoe tuna club 7 day extravaganza with a great load of sardines and a boat load of friends on board. Not long after we got underway we were in tuna country and put together a nice afternoon catching yellowfin tuna, 15 to 25 lb.ers till dark. Everyone got to pull on a couple of fish, and I think we will stick around here tomorrow and see what happens. Great weather too. Thanks for checking in, Jeff and the Indy crew

Stuck in U. S. Waters

Not that we mind fishing in California, but this is great fishing for trophy bluefin tuna, and schoolie yellowfin 15 to 25 lb. Today was another fun day with ample chances at both species of tuna. 11 of the bigguns and plenty of the yellowfin for everyone today. Great weather as well. We are going to make a move tonight and see if we can find some yellowtail for tomorrow. Wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

Change of scenery.......

We made the move to another fishing destination, and by sun down we had some good grade fish for the effort. We plan on fishing around here tomorrow in hopes of some classic yellowtail action for everyone. All is well here on the Indy, and everyone says a big hello to hot dog, and we hope to see you next year. Good weather is abundant down here as well. Thanks for checking in on us, Jeff and the Indy crew, lots of pictures on FaceBook.

GREAT DAY TODAY.....

Good evening from the independence. We had another great day today, as things got going early with a couple of flurries of White Sea bass, followed by great action on yellowtail. Salas 6 x jr was a big hit for the yellows, and everything else worked. We were steady for hours. The wind was up today, but it couldn't spoil the hot action out here. We are hoping for a repeat tomorrow, so wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

FISHING BLUEFIN AGAIN

FABULOUS FISHING TODAY......
Hello again from the independence. We had another super fun day fishing in the u s a. today. Things got going shortly after daylite , and the large bluefin put on a great show for us. 60 to 100 lb. fish were the rule, and picture perfect weather made it even more enjoyable. Everyone had multiple chances at these trophy bluefin, and when the final one hit the deck we had tallied up 26 jumbo bluefin for the effort. Mix in a few casualties that normally occur with this caliber fish , but over all everyone did really well. We are having some difficulty sending all the pictures, but we will as soon as we can. At present the Mexican government has lifted the ban on fishing for bluefin tuna in Mexican waters, so this will be hugely beneficial to the San Diego fleet in the next few months. The sword fish spotter planes are still reporting huge volumes of bluefin still around down there, so don't be left out on this great fishery. By the way we have some openings on the coast side fishing 8 day coming up, check it out on the web. Sea ya soon, more reports to come. Jeff

STEADY ACTION TODAY.....

Hello everyone, this is what we know. We fished the beach today for excellent results. 20 to 30 lb. yellowtail were the target, and fishing was full speed at times. The surface pluggers 7x guys did really well, as everything was the hot ticket. We achieved daily limits easily, and the weather was just beautiful. We are on to the next stage of this voyage, and will report again, sea ya then, Jeff

Nice Bluefin

Nice one angler christyne buteyn

The bluefin were up to 90 lbs. and some were bigger I imagine. Picture perfect weather made the day even better for all. Things look good out here; I hope you all get a chance to get in on this great fishing rite now. We are going to give this another look tomorrow, sea ya then, Jeff

Last Day of Rusty Hook trip

Hello again everyone, today was spent in pursuit of tuna. We scratched away at some bluefin in the morning and then some yellowfin in the afternoon. Over all they were reluctant to bite the hooks. It was a good way to spend the day, and end the trip. We will be back to San Diego tomorrow, 0530. Sea ya then, Jeff and the Indy crew

Good evening everyone, we started off fishing for yellowtail, and put together a excellent day on the forkies. Beautiful grade 20 to 30 lb. fish on tap, big schools biting really well for most of the day. All methods were the hot ticket, surface pluggers , yo yo jiggin , or just cast out a bait.

Ending In style!!!!

Hey there everyone, we had some EXCELLENT fishing today for beautiful yellowfin tuna. 18 to 30 lb. fish were biting wide open for a few hours shortly after day lite. It was like an aquarium, as the volume of fish was impressive to say the least. The rest of the day we spent scratching fish here and there. This was a great way to end the trip.

Steven's Adventures Finle

The last couple days we have enjoyed good weather and fishing, the BFT fishing was a pick bite for the most part but the quality made up for it, one stop was straight 60 to 90 pound fish that bit for a while, we also had a stop on 35-40 pound fish. Our last day was capped by a good drift on yellowfin tuna that produced 125 fish to finish us off. Another great group that Brent,Grant and Mike put together this year, and many thanks to them. We will in about 05:30, have a good night.

COASTSIDE OFF AND RUNNING......

We departed yesterday on the coast side fishing club 8 day with high hopes and a decent load of bait. Our first attempt of the day today was very rewarding, so we stuck it out and ended up with a sensational catch of big yellowtail for the effort. Everything was the hot ticket, 7 x surface plug, yo yo, or cast a bait and hang on style fishing. We are going to try for some bait tonite, and then maybe some more of this tomorrow, thanks for checking in, Jeff and the Indy crew

Nice Yellows.

Nice Yellows today...

Another fun day.....

Good evening everyone, sorry for the lack of photos for yesterday, but it was soooooo busy I didn't have even a moment to take a picture. Today I had time for a few pics from our morning, and there were some trophies to be had. Jumbo yellowtail and sea bass were on the chew and it was a fun morning. The afternoon was spent with sporadic yellowtail fishing. Great weather all day made it even better. Sea ya all later, Jeff
