We tried. Attempt #1

[kayakfisherman]

Kenny, Andy and I left the yellowtail biting on the inside
to search for our pots of gold. 6 miles out it started happening.

Dolphins, birds then the tuna. Boils here and there. Birds here and
there. The three of us scattering and hoping. No bites. La Jolla
inshore was dead, plus the long drives home... No conservation
on the way in. Fun? You bet!

Let's Do It Again!!

Good try! Its like trying to find a hungry needle in a haystack, but when you do...

[wiredantz]

that what I been hearing from my friends who have been coming back on sportsboat... they go out, they see them play, they seem jump, freckle and dance.....



BUT THEY CAN"T GET THEM TO BITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




and if somehow you get them to bite... U bet its going to be BIG......

bring the heaviest gear you got...... and landing..... its a whole other story....


maybe this is a new breed of highly intelligent nuclear powered blue fin.

[Denis_Ruso]

Thank for posting the report. Wish I was balsy enough to go out the 6 miles. The going out I don't mind, Its the paddle back I'm worried about.

How long does it take you guys to paddle back and do you all have mirage drives?

[WARRIORMIKE]

thats a long haul for sure

[kayakfisherman]

No mirage drives, it's called paddle power. Time it with the wind.
Makes the paddle back much easier. For the easiest paddle back,
have a tuna between your legs!!

[Roman]

Woah! Awesome effort.

[NICKWORN]

Made it out 4-5 miles then mother earth decided to show off her power and serve us up some wind chop like no other, had to turn back and head in for safety reasons.

Looks like the weather was perfect for you guys.:cheers1:

Usually I just end up, on the way back, with my Schwanzstucker between my legs :)

[Dee84cali]

6 miles?? How deep does it get? Navionics shows serious depth!

If it was easy...everyone would do it. :D

Did you notice what kayak he PADDLES that far offshore?
These three amigos are studs. If history repeats itself... we will being seeing Yanni & Crew yak tuna pics soon.

Any time I think I need a fancier kayak to go further out I remember that Yanni paddles that Cobra to the edge of the earth and back. :notworthy:

[addicted2sp33d]

Wow. :eek:

:notworthy: You get respect just for getting out there! :paddleersmilie:

[King Saba]

Stud for sure. Paddling a cobra fish-n-dive 6 miles out is no joke. You'll get them soon Yanni!

[YakDout]

Nice report, thank you. I'll be trying here shortly also. Maybe a little further north though.

[Iceman]

Not sure what super pill my Chirp 4 was using, but I held bottom the whole way out and back at 6 miles we were in 1200 feet as warm as 75.5, lots of bait out there.

I do not mind working for that golden ticket! Hopefully again next week! :paddleersmilie:Case in point, I hooked a mako and had a pretty easy release, but shit can go wrong out there.

If you go, just buddy up and watch each others back. I am sure Yanni would have cut our 100 pounder into even 1/3s for an easy paddle back in:D after a quick snack from it.

[Iceman]

I never really marked any to drop flat falls on, threw a popper hoping for a blind strike quite a bit.

[YakDout]

Were you guys trolling all the way out and back? Bait? Rapalas?

[Iceman]

We were trolling macks until a dog decided to follow us about 4 miles out, then a pack of teenage dogs came through too. I trolled a smaller plug as well most of the way in.

[YakDout]

Thank you. :cheers1:

[summers in kuwait]

I know you guys will repeat last year!
I think I'm gunna make a trek out this weekend.

Thanks for the report and details gents!

[Aaron&Julie]

Exciting that you at least saw tuna after the long paddle, momentary ray of light. Nice try.

[Dee84cali]

[QUOTE=Iceman;265667]6 miles we were in 1200 feet as warm as 75.5,


Wow! This is nuts!! This is what it's all about, go big or go home!

[alanw]

Awesome guys. I think I'll wait until they are within 2 miles :o

[h2ofishfo]

👍🏾 yeah brah

[Geno Machino]

Did you guys try slow trolling macs or is that what you got the mako on?

College try for sure!

Next time...

[Lipripper92592]

It sure is beautiful out there!

[surfisher]

Fished yesterday in the same general area as you. Acres of fish just breezing and milling around. One boat hung a double on the breezers using skip jigs, they lost one and landed one that looked to be over 100lbs. We did get a taker on the slow troll mac right in front of a breezer school, spit the bait though. Check the finder shots ...

My legs are still sore from that trip.

Yanni - you guys will get them again. Just like last year.

I got

[Vikingj]

Exciting report, guys. Thanks. I'm sure there are some 100 pounders with your names on them!

[Sully1]

Very inspirational guys. Well done. Consider this one step closer to your goal.

[Silbaugh4liberty]

Holy crap, those screen shots are insane! I'm thinking of heading to Oceanside, get a scoop of dines from the barge and head straight out. Just need to see who's down to go this weekend.

Either that, or Dana. But I think I might have a better shot out of Oceanside.

[NICKWORN]

Im looking at all the weather reports and all I see is crazy wind, I honestly dont think its smart this weekend, but hey were all are own decision makers!

Good Luck if you do!!!

:reel::yt::yt::yt:

[YakDout]

Saturday looks easily doable as the wind is concerned. Sunday probably too, but saturday is looking a little better.

I'm going tomorrow either off ponto or solana as that's the latest from fish dope. Who's with me?

[Aaron&Julie]

Nice try guys. Andy/Yanni did you guys launch up north or down SD way? If I'm not mistaken you tried both last year, with some success.
Thanks,
Aaron

[tstephens3232]

I was thinking dana point or oceanside. But definitely want to go tomorrow.

[DWDrummer13]

Thanks Kaykfisherman for the report. I probably will be heading there from AZ in 2 or 3 weeks to go try for some of these guys. The knowledge on this forum is outstanding. I have some rigging to do on my PA14. But should be prowling those waters in 2 to 3 weeks.

[radastaff]

thinking about another try this year
soon

don't like that wind report for scripps but need to check more north

10 knts starts to be a hassle but may never achieve that on the noaa

surfline shows 5 knts or less for sat
but some swell at dana and Oceanside
not to bad

surfline uses weatherunderground I think

[ceviche eater]

cool report!

[kayakfisherman]

Hey Aaron! We launched Straight Out of LJ!! It seems that the waters
are very active with Yellowfin and Bluefin between LJ and Del Mar.

Go get it em!!!
