FRESH ONES! 3/4 Day on the San Diego 8/11/14
Gear locked and loaded! All my fish came on the Okuma Cortez CZ-5, 65lb powerpro with 40lb floro topshot It was greasy like this up until around 2:30pm but still stayed nice The San Diego's RSW. The fish I took home was STUPID GOOD and that's due to the great handling by the crew and this beautiful thing. The sashimi I had this week was ridiculous... The hat says it all as we slide by the Nado's Tanks full o' dines Here she is. My first Yellowfin. I had to get a shot immediately after she hit the deck, even though there was chaos all around. I like to pay tribute to the beautiful animals that I have been blessed to battle and sustain my family with. This is just on way. Organized carnage on the way home Two twenty-somethings This was my 30-something kicker As usual, the Cap't and crew of the San Diego KICKED ASS. These guys worked so hard to put us on fish and do whatever it took for people to get their share of the action. There are some really good boats to book in So Cal, I will always recommend the San Diego. It's just the the standard when it comes to 3/4 day trips. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed...GO GET YOURSELF A FRESH ONE!

They recommended anything between 25 & 4Olb. I brought 25, 30 & 40 floro with me but fished the 40lb. all day. These fish were not line shy at all.

Been hearing most guys using 20-25, so that's how I set up my two bait reels for the trip. Probably better off to go heavier on a cattle boat, as long as the fish don't mind. I'm bringing 20-40 fluoro leader material. |

Go with the 40! I went on the New Lo An (great captain and crew) last weekend on an over nighter. After an hour battle on a 20lb rig the hook pulled . I estimate the Bluefin was between 50-60 lbs We were fishing the pens...I should have known better! Still not bad tho, pulled in 3 YF and 5 YT. The YT were WFO off 3 passes on a large paddy...pandemonium

If the fish aren't line shy which they don't seem to be at all, I'd switch up that 20 to a 30 and have a 25/30/40. Hate to see you lose a big BFT on 20
