Hello all, i finally managed to get a trip out of San Diego for 1.5 days. we sailed about 90-100 miles out into mexican waters in search of albacore. 17 anglers aboard a 58ft boat. good food etc.
total catch for the boat was 75 albacore tuna 18-30lbs, and 6 yellow tail tuna about 20lbs apiece.
My personal catch was 8 albacore landed, my hook pulled on another and another anglers line tangled mine whilst i was playing a fish and mines broke. all in all a good trip. weather was great also!
we also seen a pod of about 200 dolphins, a whale, some seals (i thought we were to far out for them), some flying fish (wow they are strange), a sunfish and a small blue shark circled the boat!
the cost of the trip worked out at approx 360 USD,
225 for the trip (includes mexican fishing permit)
25 for rod hire
40 for food + drink
42 for fish filleting (they only done 7 of mine as one went missing :casstet: they charged 6USD per fish!)
25 for the jackpot (heaviest fish - a 30lb albacore tuna)
speak to you all later
