Mine is a 20’ but whatever you’re comfortable with. And whether plays a big rool depending on the size of your boat. Just be smart and know the wether and your limits.

We had fun.

It’s a 20’ converted to an outboard.

11 in Monterey is the most used.

I’ve only used the 200. But know guys that use the 240 and seems to work as well.

Winthrop Terminator butts, custom built with Seeker 4x and 3x OSP blanks. My buddy had them built years ago.

Maybe 80 to 100nm Most of the time they’re 25 to 35 nm out.

@fishdog1000 oh dang, that's too far for my older 2 stroke! Congrats on the tunas though, looks like you've been killing then.

Penn international 70 and a 50w.

Thanks. With the adjustable butts give more options. If you have 0° rod flush mounts you can leave the rod in the rod holder. And there stronger, less chance of the butt breaking on heavy drag.

@@fishdog1000 thanks for the info!!!

It depends on the time of year. Early spring South Bay hold more halibut, and as the water warms up and less fresh water flows in to the bay they start showing up in San Pablo. I would think there’s some fish in the shallow flats along the channel. Just watch out for the areas of no fishing around the islands as you leave the harbor.

Right on thank you. Good job landing yours. This was our first, and it got me hooked. Good luck and get ready for this year🤙

Thank you. She’s the best fishing partner ever. Even when she misses netting a fish

Thank you. How did you guys do last season? We only landed 2

@@fishdog1000 3 . biggest was 145#

Thank you. We are using Phoenix black diamond hybrid 60-130 , with a Penn International 30visx loaded with 100# line. Check out our other one from Bodega Bay that was a good 130# fish.

Think it was 56 or 57° there was a good warm water push from off shore. I was late to the bite cause I had to work during the week. But guys where getting them during the week. This year good size Bluefin have been caught from Fort brag and south. Guys in Brag and Shelter cove was getting them in 54° waters. I’m learning that the blue fin could be any where in fall as long as there is something for them to eat.

Thank you

Thank you. For sure we’ll be after them next year. I think they will be out there next year agin 🤙

That one was on the downrigger 50’. Middle line I had fly lined, and the other side I had down 100’. The fish bit just as I has switched battery’s and put up the camera. I’ve done one trip since then, but with the storms coming in I feel they may be moving away. It’s sad to think we’ve got 7 to 8 more months before some kinda of tuna come back.

@@fishdog1000 mackerel right?

@@fishdog1000 also man your wife’s a trooper that’s awesome job both u

@@micci7888 yep mackerel.

@@fishdog1000 what was your trolling speed?

Thanks, this was a year ago. Hope this coming up weekend will provide the same.

@@fishdog1000 yea the tuna bite has been kinda dead recently

@@happyfish9803 yea the wind has keep a lot of guys off the water. A few fish has been caught this week even with the water temp around 55°

@@fishdog1000 yea, that storm mixed up that water pretty bad only heard of a few

Thank you, we hope for many more to come.

Nice fish! Good work 👏🎣😊

Thank you

Thanks, think that day was 30 to 35 miles out

Thank you, you can find them in the California Ocean Sport Fishing Regulations. I don’t think they print books any more but you can download it from wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing Here is a copy and paste from it for Albacore. 28.38. TUNAS. The following daily bag limits apply: (a) Albacore: (1) South of a line running due west true from 34°27’N. lat. (at Point Conception, Santa Barbara County) - The special limit for albacore is 10, which may be taken or possessed in addition to the overall general daily bag limit of 20 finfish specified in sub-section 27.60(a). (2) North of a line running due west true from 34°27’N. lat. (at Point Conception, Santa Barbara County) - The special limit for albacore is 25, which may be taken or possessed in addition to the overall general daily bag limit of 20 finfish specified in sub-section 27.60(a).

Ok thanks

7 kt seems to be the boats sweet spot. But 6 to 9 kt will work depending on the day and the fish.

Thanks, it’s looking like a window this weekend agin. Be ready 🤙

Thank you, I thought that fish was hooked better for a pull but thought wrong. More tuna soon some where of some kind.

It’s a 76’ Skipjack Open20’ I converted to a out board and a few other upgrades a few years ago. Skipjack Boats are made Southern California, now a days the don’t make any thing under 25’

@@fishdog1000 nice. I heard they were close last week. Tempted to make the run up there

@@davkrat5 60° water last Sunday was right on the coast, blue water was about 20-30 mile out. And fish where spread out. Looks like the water may be lining up for next weekend. But keep a eye on Bodega Bay to Half Moon Bay waters something going to happen soon. Next wether window fish could be anywhere 🤙

@@fishdog1000 thanks. HMB is my home port. Canh wait for some pelagics to start showing up.

@@davkrat5 I heard of a Bluefin caught off of Half Moon Bay a few weeks ago. Folks just half to get out to the sea mounts and go fishing, and be ready for any thing. Next week wind should be down and people will be looking around

Thanks for watching. I am hoping to get some more albacore or bluefin tuna the next weather window. 🤙
