BUBBA GUMP TUNA
BUBBA GUMP TUNA
Hurricane Hilary rolled on by in the Pacific without coming close to southern Baja. She did manage to create strong winds off shore for a couple days
which has shut off the bite. Now boats are traveling as far as 50 miles in search of porpoise which have been hard to locate. Meanwhile the marlin and
dorado bite closer to shore has been a very slow pick. In shore rooster fish have provided good action for anglers tired of traveling great distances
in search of the larger game fish.
I can't predict what the future will hold but to date this has been a spectacular year for Yellowfin tuna. On my way out the door this morning my wife
Jeni said if I bring another tuna home she is changing the locks. Jeni is a great cook and has figured out more ways to fix and serve tuna then Bubba
Gump can serve shrimp.
Here are a few photos of some of the tuna we have landed this season.
My good buddy Bob Tilley kick off the season with our first tuna in early May

Nice YT. Some canning jars will be filled! Let hope the Albacore get a little closer to the central coast and I can re-stock the inventory.
Great pictures...

I enjoy reading your reports. Thank you for posting them.
In your area is there a typical distance from shore you have to go to find yellowfin? Has that distance varied much between May and September?

JAKE,
There really is no typical distance. Tuna seem to be all over the board. Sometimes they will be traveling with porpoise but other times we find them
relating more to an area. Since May we have found them from just a few hundred yards off shore in front of Buena Vista to 50 miles or more off shore.
Same with size. Sometimes schools will all be of similar size but other times mixed.

Ifs too many fish are a problem, let 'em go. I understand the inherient problems, but at least some, if not most, will survive.
