    Ultimately albacore WILL eat just about anything at one point or another. I've seen an albacore eat an unlit cigarette, and I've seen them come out of the water to eat cedar plugs that were hanging on outriggers completely above the water. However those are awfully rare circumstances. Why...

    Just an FYI, but as a returning client you can actually rebook your same date at any time. You don't need to wait till Jan 1. That's just the date that they open bookings to everyone. Prior to that you can rebook your same date to insure nobody else ever gets your date.

    At this point it's only a matter of time until your wife shows up and strangles me in my sleep

    Weather was pretty sloppy yesterday and today was forecast to be a bit worst so we elected to cancel. Finally, a day off. What a season it's been. Possibly the best, most consistent albacore season I've seen. Still a handful of fly trips remaining on the books, and I've thoroughly enjoyed the...

    Sounds like it's the Marlin we should really be wary of lol

    Broke in a new to me tuna rod today. It works very well.

    What's Catching You Fish?

    I honestly don't remember. I know it's an Ahrex, but it's one of the longer shanked, finer wire ones I don't use a ton. I've actually lost a ton of fish on this pattern lately and I think it's due to the hook. Next time I tie some I plan to tie em on a shank or a tube or something.

    Sounds like it was worse down your way yesterday. I know SNB turned around on the way out. I didn't expect a beautiful, flat ocean, but I certainly didn't expect what we got either. 10-12 knots the entire way out, while occasionally going through slower patches, was just brutal. Forecast...

    Steve is likely still at the dentist getting his teeth put back in his jaw. The ocean was um ...special today. Very, very special.

    So much this. Coho will eat anything. Also no need to actually use bait in a Brads. It'll catch plenty of coho on its own.

    That was a fun, but rather unfortunate day. Jake wasn't his usual self, and bamboo guy was pretty much unable to fish due to getting sick and some hand issues. Still, we made the best of it and put some nice fish in the boat. Everyone who was able to get a cast out hooked at least a couple...

    Looking forward to finally meeting you! I'll try to refrain from any swift kicks lol

    Bad outing for FlyFish Dan

    This is the crux of the issue IMO. I feel as a guide/captain I need to set an example of the right way to do things, not just the way that I myself can do things. I can land src with a 4 wt faster than most seem to land them with a 6. However, I don't do this, nor do I allow people on my boat...

    I've been on a big squid patterns kick this albacore season. These simple patterns tied with @SpawnFlyFish heads have been putting in serious work

    Casting swim baits can be super effective. Used to have people do this a fair amount back when I used to have a swimmer in the troll spread most of the time. Very effective working them in on the slide as well, after another lure gets bit on the troll. My only issue with swim baits, and the...
