Thanks to mark on the "pure adrenaline" for being the first person this year to get some albacore the "John - the weather guy"
For those of you who like and use the DCPP weather post, John really appreciates some fish once in awhile. |

Weather:
Looks like by tomorrow afternoon the wind will be up again but may be back down by the weekend. That water down south has pushed north about 15 miles. If it keeps coming we should have close albacore by the first of Oct which is what happened last year ! Some of the boats that fished south yesterday saw big fish jumping. Maybe Bluefin ? |

I jsut talked to Steve Moore and Danny Strunk from the PFMC meetings. Our season next year is as follows: Jan.-Feb. out to 30 fathoms, March-April closed, May-august out to 20f, Sept.-Dec. out to 30 fathoms. No other real changes were mentioned or considered. We still have to deal with sublimits on near-nearshore species. Lingcod remains the same. A big thank you to Steve for going all the way to Seattle for over a week to represent the Central Coast Anglers and to CCFCC for sending him. Thanks to all of you who support CCFCC. This was a key meeting and it makes a huge difference. |

With the tuna action slowing to a crawl around here I picked up and headed down to Oxnard for some Island fishing. Jumped on the Sweet Marrissa with David from the allcoast board and headed over to Capa to try and make some squid. Picked up a few pieces and farmed a yellow before heading over to Cruz. Noticed the birds banging the surface ...slid up and tossed some surface iron for our first yellow of the day around 25lbs. Got two more on the squirts including my personal best a hog homeguard yellow that was pushing 40lbs. Lets hope the action gets a little closer to home here soon, waiting on the sidelines for those late season big boys. |

Friends:
Back from Alaska. My computer died in July and am now getting it back up. Will soon give you a complete update on CCFCC activities. Steve Moore went to the PFMC meetings last week in Seattle and reports that it is likely that we will get 10 months bottom-fishing next year with 6 months out to 30 fathoms and 4 months out to 20 fathoms. It is not ideal, but better than this year(2003). We would have gotten deeper water fishing if it were not for the claim that we kill "too many canary rockfish" along the central coast (which is bogus). We really need to be a separate region for purposes of regulations. If we continue to be linked to Northern California, we will receive more restrictive regulations. Our organization (CCFCC) is committed to efforts to get us a separate region from Pt. Conceptcion to Pt. Sur.

I am sending along a couple photos of our Alaskan Journey (5 weeks). We had a fabulous time. The ling cod photo is a 40-pounder -- 48 inches long. The salmon is 35 pounds, caught near Elfin Cove.

We fished Monterey on Saturday, 13Sept03 for 18 LFT, Mostly on Jerry Garcias. The bite turned on in the afternoon around 2-3p.m. Numbers are posted at www.baysidemarinesc.com if you need them. I heard 2nd/third hand ( from a non-regular fisherman) that some private boater caught LFT down here near "the bouy" PSL? any numbers?
note to admin: I've been trying to post photographs and have found that they are limited to a formatted size of less than 500x500 and less than 50 kb. I took the attached photo in the crudist possible setting and shrunk it down for posting. The smallest I can make my regular pics is about 54-57kb. would you please increase the size of photos to at least 60kb. thanks Stacey |

So now we know there is fish in that water down south and it did move a little closer but not enough yet ! I didn't hear of any sport boats fishing locally today for tuna. That water up by the San Martin buoy was checked yesterday for nada. The weather still looks good thru wednesday so if you have a boat with a 300 mile range go south ! |

Weather/ SST
The wind has come down and should stay down thru the weekend. Will be some swell because of gale force winds off northern Califorina.
This morning's SST doesn't show a lot of promise for tuna but you never know for sure. There could be some big albacore holding deep. A couple areas that would be worth checking out would be around the San Martin buoy and due west of Avila on the 35:10 line from the 121:30 line west. These areas are 40+ miles so pack a big lunch !

Skiffish , Call the Fuel Dock in Morro Bay. They might have a slip for you. I couldn't find their number in the phone book but Virges Landing would know. The Harbor Master might have a slip avalible. Hope this helps, Good luck John |

Weather/SST:
The wind should be coming down thursday with the weekend looking good. Don't see any "new" water pushing up from the south yet but have high hopes that it will based on what happened last year at this time. |

Fished Sunday out of MB. Was slow but we managed 5 Albies to 25#. All on the troll, as we had no bait. Fished the area 42 miles at 232 deg from the harbor. First thing in the morning the area abounded with life. There was jumping bait all over and saw some Albies jumping. Water was 62-63 degrees and blue. Even though it was not a full moon, it was bright before the sun was up and I got the feeling a lot of feeding had been done before sunup. Hopefully there's a lot of fish still out there and things are slow now because there is so much food- good times to come.

Charles Reed and the "MARY B" just returned from Monterey. They launched at Moss Landing and fished the area around 40-40 for 17 nice albacore to 35 lbs. The fishing never really got "hot" it was just 1 or 2 here, 1 or 2 there on zukers, CD-18's, and cedar plugs. Charles did say he wished he had taken the time to get bait, a couple of boats near him had good bait stops going at times. BEWARE of big bluefin, some of the ones cruseing around up there can strip a 4/0 faster than you can say "OH Sheet" Water temp exceeded 69 degrees in places |

Weather & speculation:
The forecasts and computer models indicate wind this afternoon and for 2 or 3 days. It should becoming back down wed/thurs and good next weekend if the forecasts hold.
Thanks to Stacy and the Lil Izzy for great effort !
Went back and reviewed the Sept and Oct SST's for last year and I see some light at the south end of the tunnel. At this time last year the water out here was cold but there were good breaks and temps below the donut. By the end of sept this water had pushed up and on oct 3rd we had a wide open bite ! The water out there now looks very similar with the hard breaks south of the donut/1908. History could repeat, let's hope!! |

Fished out of MB today and got 1 lft weighing about 28# on a zuchini at 13/35. It's probably best to save your gas money for next weekend. we explored the area near 10/30 to 22/43 the water was much dirtier/greener at 22/43. If anyone finds a hot bite in the future I would certainly appreciate some numbers. |

ALBACORE FOUND OFF THE CENTRAL COAST!! Well before you get too excited, just a few fish were caught today at 30-35 miles from Morro Bay. 35 10' and 121 25'. Doug on the Ichiban ran across them on the way in got a jig stop with 3 bait fish. Last I heard he had 7 fish. At least there is life out there. |

For Bill Duryee;
There are two ramps in town , one by the boardwalk the other at the coast guard breakwater , you may be better off going to MOSS Landing depending on where the fish are.

Weather - SST
NOAA posted small craft warning for today, and after looking at the computer models, I can't see why. Probably down around point conception. The computer models do not indicate any strong winds until mon/tues. The weekend should be ok.
Finally got some wide open SST shots. I plotted Pete's numbers on last nights 5:48 pm SST and it looks like he was a few miles north of the better looking water.Anyone looking for albacore this weekend needs to see this SST. Terrafin has some free shots if you don't subscribe. Also if anyone that is going has a cell phone you can e-mail me your number and I will give you a call with the latest SST or other information while you are on the water.
Fished Monterey yesterday - wide open for us, we had a 2 hr bait stop for a lot of fish.Mostly 20-25 lbs. We were out 45 miles but the ocean was flat calm.
I believe that the bulk of the albacore this year have by-passed us, so far, and have gone north. They are still being caught south down below the islands so it could still develope for us. |

Just to add to the info pile, went out of Morro Bay this morning, late start around 9:00, went straight out on a 240 heading to 12/8 (about 20 miles), worked the northwest break through 12/19, 15/26, turned for the 39-mile ride home at 19/36, zero score. Metered some scattered bait, huge pods of whales and porpoise, but no joy on the albacore. Hope you guys get them tomorrow.

Thank You Pierre & Carl. My plan at this time is to work West about 20 miles or so hopefully on a break and then North. I have lots of fishing experience but little in Morro Bay. If you think this is a bad idea to find the tuna please feel free to let me know. Last time I was fishing at Morro Bay I was around 12 years old (30+ years ago) and caught my first Albacore. I still remember the details including the weather. Looking forward to meeting you guys. Boat name is SeaDancer |

In my opinion the weather report looks fine this weekend. Diablo weather report is calling for a 2-4 foot Southwest swell with a 14-17 second period. Combined with this they say will be a 1 (one) foot NW swell. No problemo there.
Winds gentle to moderate in the afternoons only, light and variable at night and morning.
Looks good to me as of Thursday.
Pistolero out of PSL on ch.68 Saturday. |

Carl,
Just got back in town from some business up in SacTown and noticed the latest SST just a few min ago. After the three days on the water last weekend capped off with a disaster of a tow in from the coast guard on Monday I had no plans to fish this weekend. But got a call from David on the Sweet Marrissa out of Ventura and he may be trailering up. If he comes up I may be on the water tomorrow for a run and look at the break out by the donut. Boat is back in the shop and I figure I'm out of commission for a couple weeks. Will let you know when I get back out there ... Enjoyed sharing info once again on the last trip around and will be owing you a beer at the launch ramp soon!

We are thinking about heading out this weekend for some Albie fishing,the sst picture looks great, there is a nice temp break west of the San Luis bouy and all kinds of warm water north off of San Simeon.The weather looks perfect today and they are calling for 10-20 winds and 3 foot seas for the next couple of days.
Has anybody heard anything different weather wise? |

Hi Carl Alan here. Honey & I are planning a weekend getaway at Morro (We live in Ventura) and was thinking of hauling our 20' skipjack up. Appears h2o temp break about 20+ miles or so looking at todays sst. What is your take on the weather this weekend? We would be intertested in boxing off a area within 30 miles or so of Morro depending on conditions and would like to work with anyone who might be interested. |

Fished 84-miles SSW of Ventura Harbor for great albacore action. Fish mostly 20 to 35-lb class. Several good bait stops. Coolers were jugged early so we stopped fishing at 1-pm. Could have likely doubled our count but nice to be home early. The best part was avoiding 7-plus hours of trailering. Will be back on this area of fish asap. Mike |

First, I'd like to send congrats out to Jim Bentz. As a prior military man, I appreciate what your son has done. Belive me, there is not a time when I'm fishing that I think about our military folks doing one hell of a job. Glad you have your son back.
Okay, heres the fish report. We were fishing 24/19 and we caught 3 jig fish. While my friend Dave Zevely was hooked up with a jig fish, my brother Jim hooked up on a bait fish. I was winding up the other poles as Jim brought the fish to the boat. He gaff the fish with one hand while holding the pole with the other. As he brought the fish over the gunnel the gaff ripped through the tuna, the fish slammed back into the water ripping the pole out of his hand. As the Captain watching the whole thing go down, I had two thoughts going through my mind. Number one he is going into the water to get his brand new rig and I mean "brand new" rig. The second thought was, I was waiting for Jim (*^*^*%*, &*^^&, *%&*%, *^^**, %$%^)to break lose. Well, anywise Jim being the thinker he is, blindly gaffed his pole and surprisingly retiveved it. Immedialtey he started reeling and WHAM! Three jig fish, one pole, and one bait.
Anyone have their crystyl ball out for next weekend?

We fished in the area of 35:24 121:17 where there is a 4 degree hard temp break. Lots of sign but at 1:00 when we quit we heard of not a single albacore caught by any boat within radio distance.

If it was an antenna from a Sub, maybe the sub is what killed all those crazy looking deep water fish(thousands of rock cod crossed whith an eel tail). The fish were about 19 miles out and the orange glider thing was 16 miles from monterey? |

I was out of Monterey yesterday also and ran across that orange object in the water on the way out , just after daylight. At first I thought it may have been an expired drone aircraft (mini) but as I slowed and looked at it, it didn't look right. Left the area, really didn't want to risk picking it . I wonder if it was one of those antenna devices they run up from a Sub? Fishing never happened for us, as my wife got seriously sea sick at 44 and 15 , about 5 miles from the fishy area. We drug the jigs back in to the 8 mile mark on the way in for nothing. So close...wanted to see her boat just one fatty.... I was a bit disapointed that the fish had moved that far offshore , 3 times what earlier reprts had them at. I guess the blow put the chill on things.

We fished out of Monterey on Sunday for 12 nice fish. The fishing dropped from what it was last week, but the weather was great and the fish were all 25 to 35 lbs. It was a slow morning til I stopped the boat on some good marks. Then the fish charged the boat for for a crazy wake up call, we lost at 10 fish.
We also saw something strange there. I hope some one can tell me what it was! On the way in 16 miles from monterey I say an orange man made thing. It was about 7ft long cylinder about 8 in across , with fins on the front and back,with wires on it. I pulled up next to it and were thinking about gaffing it when it took off. It seemed to open a ballast and fly away into the deep?

No new sst from Terrafin again today, so had to revirt back to the NOAA composit picture. You can view it at :http://www.osdpd.noaa.gov/PSB/EPS/SST/data/californ.c.gif , its not near as good a the terrafin pics on a clear day, but its better than a WAG, (all you ex navy know what that is). Anyway the pics show 2 things. 1-that we have gone cold around here, looks like a finger of warmer water comes in about the light house and north to Cape San Martin. That finger still shows to be about 58 deg or so, maybe even a little higher in small spots, but nothing like the mass of warm water that was there before the last blow. 2- a new finger of warm water is pushing up into the Arguello Canyon area about 34:35 / 121:10, this is a large area and warm and has a great edge. It should hold fish. The bad news is its almost 60 miles, doable with a buddy boat, but still a long ride. The one bright spot is still Monterey, lots of fish being caught and lots of warm close in water. If your in the Valley like I am it may be more productive to ride the truck an extra hour than to ride the boat that extra hour. you can see their fish report at: http://www.baysidemarinesc.com/ .
Now for the REAL GOOD NEWS for those of you that know me, my son will return tomorrow evening after many months on the USS Nimitz in the Gulf War. He's the guy shown holding the big albacore (70+) in the picture I posted a couple of weeks ago. As soon as he gets unpacked and hugs his Mom we will be on the hunt, probably next weekend. Please keep posting the good #'s, we will make good use of them.

Fished out of PSL today. Headed on a 240 heading for a break we "thought" we saw on the latest SST. Went 32 miles and the water started getting colder, it went from 57.4 to 56.6 (about 02 and 21). Heard of some fish being caught at 23 and 17, but the bite was over by the time we got there. Great ocean, lots of bait and dolphins, just no biters for us. Definitely launch out of Morro Bay if you go tomorrow, we ran A LOT of extra miles today.
Best fishes,
Steve

Well slow day for us .... But just had to run up and see what was holding up towards the CSM bouy. Ran nearly 40 miles from morro to my numbers north and never found the break that was there on the last SST. Ran back 15 miles downhill to find the armada of boats that were chasing the numbers of the few fish getting caught. Great weather and had jumpers just was not our day. Good conversation on the radio and some quality time with the wife but no tuna for us.

Thanks Windfall for calling out the numbers this morning. We boated 3 on jigs near there.
Does anyone know if there is a source for off-highway use gasoline like there is for diesel? and if so, is there a way to get the highway tax refunded for boat fuel already purchased this year? |

That's correct. Lattitude first than longitude. People often call out only the minutes and not the degrees as a kind of shorthand and assume the degrees are known. |

Did you mean 35. 17 and 121. 23 or 35. 23 and 121. 17 ? The first one is what I thought, but that is way up off Morro Bay. Did you go out of MB or PSL?
Congrats on the tuna, what did they hit on? |

We brought 6 25 lb albacore to the boat today all on jigs. The Bait was pinhead so bring #4 hooks. There were lots of breaking fish but they weren't very hungry. We quit by noon and had a glassy 20 mi run back on a 82 degree heading. The #s were 23 and 17.

We caught 4 Albacore today on the Lil Izzy. we ran on a 245, 24 miles more or less from MB where we hooked up in the area of 35:21 n 121:19. All of our fish were taken on the troll: 1 on zuchinni, 1 on a red skirt and two on the jerry garcia. 1 fish was also boated in the same area on friday. there bellies were full of squid anchovies and an unidentifiable bluish colored fish. We will be fishing the same area on sunday. |

Steve,
We may be in the water tomorrow. Will be running north to the inside break as per last SST. Will give you a call on 68 once we are in the water. May get a late start but weather looks great so look forward to covering some ground. Boat name Fucarwee.

Fishing out of PSL tomorrow for TUNA! Launching early and running to where we got them on Thurs. Will they still be there? I am wondering if all the wind will have pushed the warm water way out. We shall see. Anyone else running out tomorrow? It would be great to get some coverage. We will be monitoring channel 68. Boat name is Avocation.
Best Fishes,

PSL Albacore. Thanks for the post (Steve/Avocation). Sounds like you were on the same area we fished last Sat. 6-7 miles west of the weather buoy. Everything looked really "fishy" when we were there.

Both NOAA and the UCAR computer models indicate that the wind will be coming down tomorrow and getting better thru the weekend into next week. Tues/wed looking the best.

the "Mary B" just got back from Monterey, fished 2 days in sloppy seas for all the large albacore you could ask for. Weather was sloppy but fishable for the 22 Davis Cortez. Forget about running fast, but the fish are only a few miles offshore, most came at 8-10 miles. |

Fished out of PSL today. Gave up on tuna the night before and decided to fish rockfish. Headed up to Diablo, but the wind prevented a good drift. Worked down to the Green light and caught a few small rockfish. The wind laid down and the PT SL bouy was only saying 10 knot winds...so we headed out.
Hit the bouy around 10 a.m. Water was 57.4. Worked past the bouy until we hit 58.6 and dropped in the jigs. As soon as we hit 59.1 water we hooked up. Busted that fish off, but ended up hooking and landing 4 more over the next two hours. Headed back in @ 1 pm due to increasing winds. It was snotty, but fishable. All fish were 25 pounds plus. Caught on cedar plus, black/purple and mex flag clones. Good day when we thought we were just going to go rockfishing. Might try again tomorrow if the wind lays down.
Called out, but no one came to join us today.
later,
steve

SST:
Last night's SST shows an opening in the marine layer above 35:10 and out to 121:50. Good 2 degree break at 121:15 west of Morro running north and then west at the 35:40 line. The break is only about 7-8 miles off the beach at San Simeon. That's the good news and the bad news is still the weather. It doesn't look much better until about tuesday. |

PSL. We attempted to chase tuna today out of PSL. But turned around at the five mile mark, due to breaking waves everywhere, and close, steep swell. It was not very big, but too close to be fishable for 22 ft boat.
We did manage 3 limits of rockfish, 1 ling, and 2 flatties before pulling out.
Will be chasing tuna again as soon as the weather cooperates.

Harrell,
NOAA showing 10 kt winds early Friday and then increasing in the afternoon to 20kt. We are planning on running early friday uphill to a recent SST break and then leaving early running back downhill to the barn. We were planning on making the run Saturday to Monterey but looks like lots of wind up there so may just fish local Saturday as well. Thanks for the input and we will keep you posted on whats going on after Fridays run.

WAG -Weather
Don't see anything good in the forecasts or buoy reports before Sat. The San martin buoy has averaged 15 + kts. for two days now with waves as high as 8 ft-6 sec. The computer models don't show any real good weather until about tuesday. The inside water (rockfish, etc.) is usually fine until the wind comes up in the afternoon.
Dustin;
Monterey is wide open on albacore and close-in as Jim just posted. The weather up there is about the same as here but a shorter run in the slop and a lot more fish. Most of the guys I know are going up there.

Just talked to Charles on the "Mary B", he is fishing out of Monterey and into fish big time, said he had one fish hold plugged and about 1/2 full on the other as of noon. they are at 47/12 to 50/08, about a 3 mile area less than 10 miles out 63 degree water at 8 miles. Fish are hungury and they are getting doubles and triples on fish to 30+, said they could get quads but they can't get all the lines in before they get hit, almost lost one rod while putting it into a holder. Sloppy water, but fishable.

Debated whether to make the run outside the 311 or tow up to Morro. Decided on MB and headed to a warm water break on the 8/24 Terrafin chart that was only 15 nm out almost due west true. The chart was only a peek with cloud cover but it looked like Wave Runner's spot of water moved up and in since the weekend as his number (14 and 19) looked cold. Left the harbor with small chovies at 8 am and put the jigs in when the water hit 62+. Sloppy but fishable seas. In a fifteen minutes water hit 63.5 and we put first fish in the box. Worked the area at a 63.1 to 63.5 break for the next 3.5 hours for 16 fish 20 to 34 lbs. Got 4 on bait on 3 of the stops. Mexican flag was the color. Ended up trolling only two jigs, a Tady jet and a Clone in the flag color for several doubles. Lots of shearwaters working and greenish water. Numbers were 23 and 09. Done at 12:30.
Had the pleasure to meet Bob Hather at the ramp - great website Bob and many thanks for keeping us all up to speed on the local bite!
No need to burn the fuel and we could only make 15 knots tops on the way out anyway so close is good. Go get 'em. Bob, Wild West |

Today I checked out the Morro Bay ramp and spoke to three groups returning from albacore fishing. One boat went all over and got zero, one boat went out 35 mi for nothing and got one at 15 mi and the Wild West form Ventura got 17 nice tuna in only three and one half hours to 32 lbs out 15 mi at 35:23 121:9. The fish were feeding on anchovie. This looks like its going to be a good year for the albacore based on the wide open bite going on 14 mi out of Monterey and also out beyond the channel islands. The weather was nasty today.

Depending on weather we are running north on Friday out towards the CSM bouy. Afternoon downhill run if the wind blows. Who else is running Friday?

Weather !!!
The weather out in the tuna fishing area is worse than the forecasts this a.m. All of the forecasts are changing and none of them agree. Just have to wait and watch for a while. |

Planning to fish Albacore Wed. from Port San Luis.
Will be fishing onboard the "Diane Michelle" (22 ft. Anderson). Undecided about where to head to, but will likely be between the 20-40 mile zone. If anybody is heading out would appreciate teaming up to find fish.
