I just want to reply, bluefin fishing had been the best its ever been in Southern California while there was not too much happening at the island. The group agreed to go looking for tuna which costs me even more money in fuel but I wanted to get them on a trophy tuna. It didn’t work out unfortunately, I took them back at the scheduled time.It was not early, it was on time. As far as hooks, they were size 1 J hooks, not circle. These are the hooks that are successful for tuna and yellowtail in clean, clear water. I fish the island on a regular basis but if the customer feels he knows how to fish the Southern California fishery better then by all means bring your own tackle and gear next time. Also, you have to wait a few seconds when bit before putting rod in gear. Immediately swinging the rod when you feel something usually results in a non hook up, it’s a point a stress many many many times during a trip along with picking out a hot bait.
Sorry if you feel that I let you down but I try my hardest on every trip to get people on fish even the beginners and novice anglers.
