I’ve spoken to a couple people on here over the years who are part of the CA fishing scene. I thought maybe some would be interested in a trip report.
Ok, you got me, it’s a shameless plug to show off fish pictures….ha!
Just got home from an 8-day on the Intrepid. As spring 8-day trips go, this was a pretty darned good outing.
A couple days of fast-paced and purely fun fishing in solid grade 18-40 pound yellows. It was a great start and we had a blast.
We followed that up with a couple days and 3 nights of bluefin fishing. It was a good counterpoint to the previous days. As is typical with BFT, it was tough to find biters during the day, and scratchy fishing at night. The type of fishing that rewards determination and time at the rail. Hard-earned successes that leave you feeling a sense of accomplishment and in need of sleep.
We didn’t find any bigger model tuna, but you certainly can’t look down your nose at 50-100 pounders.
Best part of all was sharing it all with my son on his first longer trip. He got his new PB yellowtail, his first Bluefin Tuna, and after a couple fish, he passed that first big milestone in CA fishing and surpassed the 100 pound mark with his now PB Bluefin. I’m a lucky man.
