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
