Fish Report for 2-20-2011
Today's results didn't exactly qualify as an improvement. But, we did accomplish the goal of extending our fishing time and options while scratching away at quality yellowfin tuna throughout the afternoon. A few more heartbreaks on giants were unfortunate, and actually almost inevitable as the weather turned sour making for sloppy, undesirable big fish conditions. It comes with the territory.
Perfection is doing a stellar job of avoiding us so far this voyage. Nothing serious, just the little details that fall into place to create an easy flow. The prior seven tagging voyages down here have been blessed with uncommon good fortune. The law of averages appears to be catching up to us on this run. And while I gripe keep in mind the standard of success I am using for these voyages. We don't just want it to be good. We want it to be insane, wide open, crazy type action to measure up. Such lofty goals do not make for a soft landing.
Regardless we are plugging away at it, and have another full day and final morning to hit the mother lode. Better said the biting mother lode. None of the results this voyage thus far have been from a lack of fish.
Today's photo's feature Ek with a mid morning 150# class yellowfin that he handily subdued using the Shimano Talica 25 II with a short top shot of 130# Blackwater fluorocarbon. While I wouldn't say the set up is ideal for giant yellowfin, Ek's rig was plenty adequate, and then some, for this contest. In fact, he flat out kicked the daylight's out of this fish. Then, he let it go.

2-19-2011Well I have to say that although we saw more than enough tuna to get the job done getting the job done at Clarion this round proved an insurmountable task. We did catch some; typical scratch fishing is how I would describe it, but given that the majority of the day's catch was made during the first thirty minutes of daylight, and the remainder of the day was painfully slow, we had our fill when day two on the outside......

Traditional Revillagigedo style action here at Clarion with a good morning shot at 100 - 175# yellowfin leading into an extended mid day and afternoon lull. Then, just in time to resurrect enthusiasm for the effort, the tuna hit us at sundown closing out the day on a high note. We did see good fish throughout the day, but convincing them to bite was a challenging task. Wily is how I would describe them. We would see them, make our...... Read More
