Late August Weekend

August 23rd, 2010 | Comments Off

Good morning everyone!

We had an interesting weekend here at YBC. Friday's tuna trip was unfortunately cancelled due to wild weather but we made it out for tuna on Saturday and Sunday. Capt. Jack wrangled in 22 and 31 tuna on each day. Most of them were caught on light tackle casting gear as the tuna were a bit more spread out and calm water on Sunday had the tuna seeing us coming from miles away, so trolling wasn't as productive.

The Sea Quell took to the sea for Salmon on Saturday and Sunday and caught limits on a full day trip Saturday, but only found 4 keepers on Sunday's half day. Salmon fishing is still good though, and it will run just through labor day- if you're anxious to get out there you better think about it soon!

Both boats are out for rockfish and crab today with full loads. The next days are showing tuna, salmon, and rockfishing on the books, but the weather for tomorrow is suddenly not looking good offshore. Someone do a weather dance and make that wind go away, please!

We have 3 tuna spots that have opened up for this Saturday the 28th if anyone wants to go! We also have 5 spots on the 31st and 3 spots on September 2nd. Give us a call if you're interested ~ 541-265-6800.
