We departed yesterday on a 3 day trip with some of our long time regulars as well as our friends from Utah. We have a lot of first time fishermen and fisherwomen out with us this trip which is always fun. We saw good sign of bluefin but getting bites weren’t easy to come by.…

We thought we were all lined up to have another good night but the bluefin we were seeing all the way up until sunset vanished shortly after it got dark. Highlight of the day was some good coding. Team RP

We pulled it off in the bottom of the ninth and enjoyed good bluefin fishing before we had to call it a trip. TEAM RP

Glen who is known for being much more intelligent and considerate is a welcome addition. We can’t express how grateful we are that Glen decided to…

We had excellent wahoo fishing this trip with decent tuna fishing as well. The sharks were relentless in the beginning but eventually backed off allowing us to enjoy some solid tuna action at the bank toward the end of the trip. Unfortunately we had to medevac a passenger from the boat at Socorro Island which…
