Sad Note this afternoon from a phone call- long time angler and friend of our fishing world -- Rob Thompson -- owner of the Tuna Mas, had passed away. With the weather-- it'll probably lower that water temp a degree - we should start to see schools of anchovies soon and along with them maybe some Salmon will follow---.

Radio report say there Bluefin were starting to bite better yesterday by some of the sportboats-- dead boat fishing these tunas with the lighter lines ( 50lb and below) just wasn't working for these 50- 80/90lb fish-- privates can hang and even lead these fish for a better chance at them--. I'm worried, the lines beginning to flatten out as wear begins to show by the working back and froth over the same area. But these Snappers, I dont know, these baits would come back all ragged cuts, scared up, I dont know, looks like they got hit with a shovel and a rake at the same time.

For boats heading south-- Another burst of Santa Anas winds blowning offshore this Friday--Colnett and below--. We'll enjoy it while we can-- may not see this type of fishing for a long time to come-- they grow quick and die quick- there must have been a good " Hatch" of these baby dorados nine months to a year ago maybe a little earlier that that but conditions for them were just right, Free spawning eggs float to the top of the waters surface mixing in the seas turbulence gives some generic distribution.
