Call from Greg-- off Mag bay having released over fifteen marlin by 11 am today quads on the jigs-- dorado pesky an all lures Wahoos and marlins and dorados. Clam seas ,wind very light from the south-- waters clearing up leaving a tea stained bottom in the harbors and bays-- lots of baitfish inside the harbor Days like this makes one wonder why they weren't out deep dropping for a swordfish 7 miles outside the harbor-- maybe someone will.
Simple E- Mail this morning Left harbor at 6am, back by 6pm. Left them biting. Tanner yesterday on Hippo It's not a very big boat! They reported great weather. This group was so much fun, from the high energy fishing, to the luxury of the , the amazing food, and the natural beauty of Mag Bay. This trip is one for the books. And of course our record setting day that tops it all. Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 4 day average Incredibly proud of this group and my crew.
And a huge shut out to captain Steve Lassley, the best captain and friend I can ever have. Enjoy the photo by John Ellis.
The finish video from this man is going to be completely epic. Cell phone call in the late afternoon from Greg -- on they way south-- Uncle Sam Bank brought them multiple Wahoo bites all good sized fish-- Dorado there too -- relatively quite for them on the Ridge till they got to the Thedis Bank-- Fair to good Marlin.
We'll the big question is-- what will this blow do to the fishing conditions- - after a solid 25 to 40 kts of wind and upwelling water for two three days - ya have to think it will drop 5 maybe 10 degrees - we'll just have to see -- How far in depth does this influence go 50 feet at least- -Coastal waters will have the greatest degrading, offshore-- most warmer water fish will leave and they can go quick-- those Bluefin who live at ft below the surface for most of the day-- will probably feel some sort of disturbance - but I"d venture to say give it 4 5 days and we will see them again- of course by new week another blow is forecasted-- and it's these continued blow will make the difference-- standing by-.
An rainy windy day-- -- Small Craft Advisory only a few sailors out Couple of boats gearing up for their journey south to Mag and points beyond- if you require some of the older tackle refreshed or new line on them give us a call - - -looks like another blow coming this next weekend too-.
Bay waters still relitivly clean, lots of baitfish inside the harbor-- Pelicans diving in on it Couple boats weathered in the protection of Cedros-- heading north when they can We've been blessed with the opportunity to view nature and Her ever increasing wonders- - The Great Marlin Race , a objective to scientifically study the movements of billfish throughout the oceans of the world via archive tagging.
From the Hawaiian waters Blue marlin were tagged, Australia Blacks, ,Puerto Rico, South Africa and just about everywhere else in the tempernt waters billfish have tagged and studied. The IGMR has fundamentally changed the way that scientists, anglers, and policymakers understand billfish.
In September 30, , Hooked Captain Geoff Hersch tagged the estimated 36 kg 80 lb striped marlin after a 17 minute bout with angler Jeff Acampora.
Both of these tags were sponsored by the Tuna Club of Avalon the two sat tags deployed by Burning Daylight on October 18 and 19, 0 during a 12 day trip from Newport Beach to Magdalena Bay and back. Mission accomplished! My sincere thanks to all tag sponsors, boat captains and crews for making this important billfish research project possible.
Tight lines, Bob Kurz. Hooked- - Had the opportunity to tag a beautiful and strong Striped Marlin here in Mag Bay last week. Now we wait 9 months for data retrieval. Light marine haze seas calm with a small swell from the west -- nice day on the water, Tides swell in the morning hours - Swordfish tides over the next few days as that mid day Slack period brings them up " the Pop". Scientific records show Broadbill Swordfish sounding to the depths ft from dawn - stay deep all day till dusk where again they have a desire to go straight up to the surface within a few meters and stay Small Skiffs For Sale Florida Visa there till dawn again when the dive deep -- Sometimes-- sometimes they come up the the surface during those broad periods of an Slack Tide "Pop" basking themselves in the midday's warming sunshin e, said to turn "pink" sun burnt then just as quick as the tides turns they dive down again to that deep depth till sunset E-mail from Baja- - Slow pick on the Ridge last week.
Water cooled off degrees. Headed up Friday and got a triple on the wahoo on the Uncle Sam Bank. Big slab on the deck was 70 plus. Just got one for three on deck- -- from our numbers - 5 and -- You'll see em' on the surface -- like breezing try to get you bait in the direction they are breezing hooked one that never stopped -- it's probably still going on We just got a blow up 20 ft ou t from the boat just setting it out and a setting sun.

In making the rescue, Triumph was carried broadside on the face of a wave a distance of approximately 50 yards. The masts had been completely submerged, then the boat righted itself. Bracken had been washed overboard by the force of the sea.
McCormick, acting with exceptional skill, maneuvered Triumph against the strong current, into the breakers and picked up the drowning man. Olsen remained in the engine room during all these maneuvers, stayed at the controls under perilous conditions, and rendered commendable service.
He was flown to the Naval Hospital, Quonset Point without incident. This is the first rescue fully exploiting the unique capabilities of the new HHA helicopter. Of a total of ten crew members on board, four drowned while five were reported missing. Beal, USCG, escaped. He was picked up six hours later by a passing merchant ship.

Coast Guardsmen assisted with the cleanup and safety operations as well as provided technical assistance.
