    Hey guys - 12 mile NW of Oceanside was loaded with dorados. I have never seen this many free swimming around. Very hard to get a bite, but we ended up with 4 nice ones on bait. We found a kelp and just stuck with all day since there were so many fish on it.

    West Coast Bluefin

    I burned 57-60 gallons (or 2.7 mpg) according to Yamaha data. I'll confirm when I fill up in a few weeks. That is about as far as I would go w/o extra fuel jugs. In any case, that is a looong run in a 20 footer if the wind picks up. Sunday was not bad coming home though, I averaged about 22...

    West Coast Bluefin

    If they are west of the SCI and Catalina, it will be pushing my range....I'm out of pocket for 2 weeks, hopefully the yellowfin show up.

    West Coast Bluefin

    OK - no fish. I had 2 hookups on madmacs, one may have been a thresher the way the line chaffed up the leader. The other was a bluefin that popped off. I need to go to trebles on the madmacs, I did not change out the factory hooks. Fished the 277, Slide and Avalon bank, temps ranged from...

    I'll let you know what I see, I will launch from Oceanside, head to 267 and then over to SE side of Cat. I'll troll madmacs, halcos and yozuris. Hopefully I have some pictures to share.

    West Coast Bluefin

    Nice!! Madmacs are the new unicorn on the west coast. I did get 2 big ones on a charter a few weeks back, a 140 and 180. The California Flyer got the bigger one. I'm headed out this weekend. Seems like there is a body of fish further north now. If you guys are headed out on Saturday 7/9 -...

    Am I over propped?

    OK - I ran the boat this weekend and with a full fuel tank, full 32 gallon bait tank, 2 adults and 50 lbs of ice - I was able to touch 5,600 rpm (38.7 mph). This is my typical load. Thoughts? Would you suggest a prop change? Thanks in advance.

    Solar power

    1 keep my batteries maintained in the storage lot using 2 - 10 watt panels with controllers, one for each battery. I have been doing this for over 10 years. I also have the ACR set up mentioned above, that is so I ensure both batteries are getting charged when run, and only 1 is isolated for...
