\"Wahoo<\/a>

Danny and I pulled together a few great sponsors for giveaways on this trip\u2026<\/p>\n

Yellowfin catches had fizzled, although the dorado were still full speed, if you could find the right paddy\u2026 and a few wahoo here and there. The forecast of high winds told me it was going to be an uncomfortable trip\u2026 and slow fishing.<\/p>\n

The forecasters lied!<\/p>\n

We loaded and left with 33 passengers on the 90 foot Chief. Jeff gave a safety speech and a run down on the plans after we left the bait dock loaded with what looked like some beautiful sardines. Danny and I had a gift bag for every passenger (hand towel, finger tape, head lamp) and then a raffle including a nice Tiburon rod, 6 pairs of \u201cBomber\u201d floating sunglasses, 12 Bait Wrap jigs, and two passes for lobster fishing on the Gail Force!<\/p>\n

Overnight was a little lumpy, but by morning it really seemed to be coming down. We started trolling and quickly hooked up! Dorado on the troll, a couple more hooked on bait with one landed. (I had a \u201cspecial\u201d prize for the first bait fish\u2026.)<\/p>\n

Off again, and before long we hit a paddy that bit\u2026 with what I hadn\u2019t expected: Yellowfin! Wide screaming open for a couple of drifts until we had limits!<\/p>\n

\"Dorado\"<\/a>

Wind up, and look for something else. And within minutes again, we were pulling dorado like crazy! No \u201cneck ties\u201d, all really nice fish! And a huge surprise\u2026. Wahoo!! We hooked a total of four on the boat, two of them were landed, both on megabaits. A third and last drift on that paddy yielded not a single bite, but we had 70 of them on the boat already! It was only a little after 10\u2026<\/p>\n

Lunchtime came and went. We wandered looking for more dorado, but now the ocean was like a lifeless desert. Couple of jig stops on bonito. Some late afternoon yellowtail, sashimi afternoon appetizer before an awesome steak dinner!<\/p>\n

Morning we were closer to the Coronados looking here and there for yellows. We found a few spots that gave some up, and picked away for 54 of them, and close to home, called it a day and had dinner while we rolled to the dock late Sunday night!<\/p>\n

Thank you Captain Chris Randal and the crew of the Chief for an amazing, incredible trip! What a way to end the season!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
