February brings the search for fish. Our
season officially opens in March, but with the
light winds this month the Pirate Fleet has been
out daily. Conditions are excellent! Water
temperatures are running 70 to 72 degrees and
bait is plentiful. We have been loading up on
sardines and then catching anywhere from 10 to
30 Mackeral before heading to the fishing
grounds.
We have been consistently catching Dorado,
Yellowtail, Cabrilla and Tuna! Having tuna here
this time of a year is a real treat and these
are really nice fish running in the 40 to 70
pound class. Yesterday Captain Luis and Captain
Rico were out scouting for tuna and hooked one
on light gear in the 200 pound class. They
chased the fish but the 40 pound leader was not
enough to contain the brute. Another story for
the books!
In closing these are the best early season
conditions we have seen in the past 8 years.
This season will be epic. Don't miss this one.
To support the above Dennis Lesinsky and Richard
Henderson show off their Yellowtail and Tuna
catch they got while fishing with Captain Jesus
(Caco) yesterday.
