Nice brother @EvoSGooD After seeing the vessel that close up, I'm just stunned by her shear beauty. When's your next trip on the Independence?

@@SlaycationFishing next month 😁

Sweet. I'd wish you luck @EvoSGooD but I'm sure the fish will need more luck than you 🤙🏼

It was a quick bite but that 420g jig stuck him 😆 Thank God someone caught a fish otherwise there'd be nothing to show 🤙🏽 Thank you @durtyfeesh8959

🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Yeah buddy, Bluefin Tuna is the one of the top prized fish in the ocean & there's potential to catch a fish of a lifetime. That's the homie right there on the cutting station. You can check more of his stuff on IG @soljahherb Thank you @LuckSpinner 🙏🏽

I keep hearing that same quote. Maybe they are the best, but there's only one way to find out, right? Thank you for viewing & commenting 🤙🏼@joelserrano678

There were a lot of wind em ups on that one 😆 It's definitely challenging out there on the tuna grounds & your gear is the only thing you have control of. If you have a 100 or 80# rig you should be good for night fishing. Thank you for commenting @leeroderick7510 I was wondering how the reaction would be to very slow fishing but that's the reality of fishing for BFT. It's not always high 5s & cracking beers, but I hope that's the case for your 2.5 day. Get em! 🤙🏽

@@SlaycationFishing for sure bro.... good stuff man. keep up the work,

The Pacifica is my favorite vessel to fish on & the captain is one of my favorite people to fish with. Thank you for your input 🤙🏽

I feel yah, it's always a somber feeling when the boat doesn't connect & the other's are slaying em. Fishing for Bluefin Tuna is about as challenging as operating a TH-cam channel, so it's tough work but rewarding when it's going good. Thank you for chiming in @brandonbandura1 We'll get em soon 🤙🏽

Thank you homie. Just being out there fishing is a great feeling especially on the B-Day. I'll be on the Pacifica Overnight 7/4 or the Aztec on 7/6 not quite sure but hopefully we'll get to fish soon 🤙🏽

Thank you for the recommendation @patrickodonogue8823 This vessel reminds me of the Polaris Supreme which I rode in March. The Indy has been catching giant Yellowtail lately which is something I'll be looking to do in the future. Shout out for the comment brotha! 🤙🏽

Killer bro. Did u guys do well on that trip? Just seeing that vessel on the water up so close makes me want to book a trip, of course. She's looking fine 🤙🏽

@@SlaycationFishing it was a Christmas trip special. the weather was shitty most of the time i was the only person to land a blue fin (we lost a lot to) but that's totally out of the control of the crew. Be forewarned though the price you see isn't the price you pay. Their trip cost doesn't include Mexican fish permits or any other permits you may need. You pay permit fees the morning you leave.

Fishing is definitely challenging, emotional & expensive sometimes but it's the thrill that we seek that keeps us coming back for more. At least you were able to land one! 🤙🏽@@thomas2811

Solid brotha! Might hop on the Overnight on July 4th, Pacifica. Hope to fish with you soon 🤙🏽

@@SlaycationFishing yeah I wanna go the day after

Tribute leaves on the 5th, 1 spot open & Aztec has a 1.5 day on the 6th no resos yet @@Nobodybaby78

@@SlaycationFishing lemme look it over with my fishing partner who was on trip with us

Thanks Shawn 🙏🏽 Gearing up with a jigging combo & getting back out there in July. See you soon 🤙🏽

Sick!!! The Producer has been nailing big 1s, well actually the whole fleet as of late. Have a great birthday & I hope you get a 💯+ @dgomez6631

Thx brotha. Actually, this trip was 3 weeks ago & just dropping the video now. Live in 60 🤙🏽

Nice.ive been working too hard I need to get out there

That time of year bro, super busy. The Nomad has been going out recently been seeing them over @ the fuel dock ⛽

During the night time we like to drop the jigs on 'em hot & fast cuz they're down quite deep & you have to get vertical in the zone to hook one. Slow pitch jigging is done more in the day time to create a reaction bite as they're visibility is increased

Yeah man was tough fishing for sure but we gave it our best. I'm working on the video from the trip now it should be ready by next week. Thanks for tuning in bro & see you at the rail soon 🤙🏼

Whole heartedly agree with you on that statement 'The San Diego is the best full day operation around.' Every trip I've ever been on has has been an absolute BLAST. They know how to take people fishing & give 'em the best shot possible 🤙🏼 Thank you for checking in brotha, I'll hop on over to your page & subscribe 🙏

🌴 🌊 🛥 🎣 🔪 🐟

Next time for sure & I'll tell 'em @johnredding1234 sent me 🤙🏼

I believe the current rate is around $2 per pound for the 5mm bag. Prices have gone up considerably in the past 3 years, but they'll do the best job possible 👍🏼

@@SlaycationFishing how long is the turn around on that in general. I’m planning on coming down from Alaska to catch and bring some back if it all works out 🙏

After you book your trip, your next call is to the processor to make a reservation for same-day processing. Frozen is about 24 hours, so you can pick up the next day & pack it for travel. I'd be cool to see ya down here checking our fisheries 🐟

Thank you brotha, much appreciated 🙏🏼 We have all kinds of fun fishing in the dark, taking a quick nap & then fishing all day 🤙🏼 The Eddie bomber rips! @Glaciershark

Yes I did meet Deon, a stand up fellow & great angler. He did offer me an invite to fish on 1 of his charters later in the year, can't wait 🤙🏼Thank you for for viewing & commenting @robertcalicanoelani9611

Thank you. It is much appreciated 🙏🏼 Killer threads 🤙🏼 @diversionfishing9071

The captain recommended 200 to 400 gram jigs, and most of the fish were caught on 300 to 400g in Katy Perry & Red color. I dropped down the 16oz Eddie bomb sinker rig & got bit twice in a row as the sinker will get down to the zone fast 🤙🏼@etuttle514

Thank you! @TheLaosak47 What boat are you going on? I would bring 100# nighttime jig fishing setup 200-400 gram jigs + Eddie bomb 16oz 80# daytime sinker rig setup 2/0 hooks 4 to 10oz torpedo sinkers 60# setup if u have it for jig fishing 40# flyline setup mutu circle hooks 2, 4 30# flyline setup mutu circle hooks 2, 4 Bring everything you have, basically. The Bluefin are anywhere from 20 to 220 🐟 I use an Avet reel w/Phenix Rail Rod for the big boys, need heavy leader for the jigs at night at least 200# 🤙🏼

@@SlaycationFishing dammit I can’t sleep after watching your video. Reply 5x’s already😅. I’m going on the Pacific Dawn on May 15th. I can’t really afford much of the expensive gears. I got a Penn Fathom 40LDS on a Daiwa Proteus 80-unlimited rail rod. I hope this will do. I also got some 20-60 lbs setups for the day. Ty for the advice brother much appreciated. Keep slayin em!

All good brother, I couldn't sleep much while editing the video 😳 You should be good with the Penn Fathom for nighttime jigging. Bring an assortment of knife jigs, but I would drop the Eddie bomb rig first. You can also use that setup in the daytime just switch from the knife jig to rubber band or dropshot sinker rig. Ask the deckhands on the boat & they'll get you set up 👍🏼 I'll be on the San Diego Full Day trip that day let's go get 'em 🎣 @TheLaosak47

@@SlaycationFishing I keep hearing about this Eddie Bombers, where can I get one?

They have them over at Seaforth for about $40. You can make your own of course, but you need a wired thru sinker, which are expensive Not bad for a chance at a giant BFT 🐟 @TheLaosak47

Thank you! 46 Bluefin up to 220lbs 🐟

The captain has a solid reputation, no doubt. I will say that fishing on a sportboat is a big challenge & it can get difficult & frustrating most the time. That's why I fish on the bow 😆 Less tangles if you can keep 'em from turning their head towards the stern 🤙🏼
