Captain Mike Lowe's Fishing Reports

Weather man got it wrong.  Took Austin Smitley out for his first offshore trip with high expectations.  Weather did not permit us to get out past 30 miles.  Still managed to get a few dolphin.  We’ll get some bigger ones next time Austin.

Headed out in fairly rough conditions. Went straight to 60 mile area, had several blowups landing four tuna.  It’s always a good time watching guys who haven’t hooked up with tuna before.  We trolled this area for several areas and working weedlines on the way back.  The numbers weren’t what we’ve been catching, but the size made up for it.  We ended up with a dolphin just short of 5 ft. long – Rob’s first!

Tough day on the water.  GPS antenna went out about 20 miles offshore.  Decided to continue out in search of mahi – no cooperation.  Today we saw large numbers of ling and were able to land two in addition to some tuna.  Pink is still HOT!

Pasadena’s finest.  I had the pleasure of taking out five Pasadena motorcycle policemen. After a late start, due to battery trouble, we went straight to tuna spot and fortunately they were there.  We caught several good blackfin.  Also caught a ling and a few dolphin.  Solid day, but not huge numbers.  Had a great time.

Had Laguna boys, Cabo Joe, and Pepe with me today.  Went out marlin fishing, no cooperation.  However, we did get into some yellowfin, but lost half of the fish to sharks.  Still made for good sushi.  Really didn’t find good numbers of fish until after noon, but when we did we capitalized.  We ended up with 44 dolphin, 1 ½ tuna, and a rainbow runner.

We have been catching some solid blackfin tuna in a area 60 miles out – today couldn’t find any.  We back tracked and started working weedlines and debris – picking up several nice dolphin and three wahoo with one being just under 5 ft. long.  Pink remains to be the hot color.  Almost every fish came from the same lure.
