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 … Read entire article »

Monday!

August 16th, 2010 | Comments Off

Capt. Art brought back 6 salmon and a pretty good load of bottom fish from his Salmon/Bottom combo trip today. Salmon has been a little hit and miss, as yesterday we only got one keeper, but today was a nice day so let's hope it stays that way! The Crackerjack had a half day bottom fishing trip today and did well, almost got limits for everyone and brought in a bunch of crab too! Capt. Art returns to bottom fishing tomorrow morning and afternoon (afternoon has 4 spots left!) and Capt. Jack will be chasing tuna once again. Just another day in paradise! … Read entire article »
