Oh yes the cattle barges. Everyone all piled up on one side fighting each other for space. Miss it so much. Now i live in the pacific north west and nowhere hear the ocean. All my rods and reels are stacked and packed in boxes gathering dust. Is the SD a 3/4 day boat? Never heard of the boat back in the late 1990s. 🤔
I remember those days fighting for albacore in the crowded corner. That's where I learned to back the drag off in a tangle and saw other people off. Oh the memories! Thank goodness we're much more civilized now. I'm sure there's plenty of fantastic river fishing up there? It was bought by Ryan Bostian sometime around then. He made it one of the top 3/4 day boats in the fleet. Thanks for watching!
0801, thank you for throwing that bait fish over board instead of it suffering on the deck, becoming a slipping hazard and wasted bait=$$.you guys are lucky over there, here on the north East Coast it's 1 bluefin tuna of large size PER boat
6:02 -- Nice that they let you troll. Lots of SoCal captains don't let you do that. Dropped $900 on a nice trolling setup this past summer, got onto the Sum Fun out of Dana Point for a 12 hour day, was super excited to use my trolling outfit for the first time... captain said "No way" to trolling. Was super bummed.
No one likes to troll. Whenever there’s a jig strike, everyone is running to the bait tank instead of winding in the trollers. Maybe you can use your setup for jigging? Thanks for watching!
@@fishnsage -- You're right that many trollers need to mind their rod when it's time to reel it in. I'm always posted up at my trolling rod when deployed, ready to reel it all in when we come up on a boil or patty. Trolling is too fun not to do though. Gets you more out of your ticket if you're steaming around all day. Also keeps me out of the galley and away from those beers! 😂
#2’s are just fine! I’ve caught 80lb tuna on those! Just gotta let the fish eat it, and let the fish set the hook for you. You’ll yoink the hook out every time if you set the hook with a circle hook.
@@h22crxpwr I used a #2 Gamakatsu ringed circle hook, neck hooked the sardine and it was hard to set the hook. They would hold the bait by the tail and swim around with it in their mouths. I had to switch to a 2/0 then it got easier, thanks for watching!
Hey dude a couple of pointers for you. You should stop “thumbing” the spool so much. Let the fish eat that bait. What helped me was counting to 3 or 4 with “one one thousand, two one thousand” and so on. The smaller the hook the better. I’ve caught 60 LB bluefin on a #2 circle no issues whatsoever. With circle hooks you have to just count with your fingers or thumb lightly on the spool, then barely put it in gear. Don’t slam it into full strike. Then your circle hook will do what it’s designed for and land in the corner of the mouth. Hope this helps as it has me. Happy fishing dude.
Yes, thanks for the tip! I get bit and they run and stop, run and stop, so I gently put it in gear and lift. Next thing you know, the hook comes out. You’re right, I should wait longer. Next time I’ll give it a longer count. Thanks for watching!
@@fishnsage -- There's your problem: you don't "lift" to set a circle hook. You're supposed to set a circle hook by holding the rod steady and cranking until the circle hook sets itself. Lifting/swinging a circle hook outfit will yank the circle hook out of the fish's mouth.
@@jake9705 with circle hook when the rod/line is shaking, do not lift rod yet, let the line with very small tension. Wait until the line pulls hardly then you lift the rod and keep reel in. correct?
@@fishnsage oh your right! Shimano only makes them up to 120grams. I guess i have a box full of the knock offs lol. Ive caught so many fish on them and they were half the price of Shimano
I was on the San Diego on the 24th. Luckily I was able to land a 40lb bf. Lost another in a tangle. Broke off by 2 sharks. Great early in the year fishing.
You are asking these guys if its okay that you can grab there rods/reels for you to look over? I could see someone getting bent out of shape if a person would do that without permission. My dad used to do this occasionally, and it used to drive me nuts!
It beats last year, I didn't catch a thing and I payed half as much. I also got one of the few bluefins. th-cam.com/video/HMYfYd1zJRs/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
@@marcuslarwa9098 Yep that's for sure. You learn to underhand cast away from the boat and once you get used to your gear you can damn near cast that way almost as good as an overhead cast. Especially when your fishing a jig.
The deckhand told us to neck hook our baits and with a #2 Gamakatsu ringed hook, the fish would swim around with the bait in their mouth. If I tightened the line, it would pull the hook out. I had to change to a 2/0 then I got better sets.
Damn! You guys had allot pirates on that boat, great video.
Thanks for this first person view of charter fishing. Nice to see what it’s like to fish on a charter.
Thanks for watching!
Deckhands cool hooking fish n handing off to customer who hasn't hooked up👏🎣 Ur video puts me right on the action👏 Good job man thanks👍
Thanks for the wonderful comment! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Tight lines my friend!
This San Diego local thanks you for sharing

Thanks for watching, appreciate the comment!
Nice job, fishing, filming, and then editing video is not easy, This stye vlog is so much better than guys who run music the entire time
Thank you very much for the wonderful comment! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Tight lines my friend!
Looks like a great day on the water. Yeww 🤙🏻
Fun times! Thanks!

New Sub. Cool video. I learned a few things. Keep them coming.
Thank you very much!👍

On the rail with a bonita
It was like tuna fishing! Thanks for watching!
0801, thank you for throwing that bait fish over board instead of it suffering on the deck, becoming a slipping hazard and wasted bait=$$.you guys are lucky over there, here on the north East Coast it's 1 bluefin tuna of large size PER boat
There's also no size limit so we can keep the babies. Thanks for watching!

A suggestion, do not try setting the hook when using a circle hook, keep winding into the fish
Doesn't matter. Never set the hook on pelagics
just wind the handle randal........@@leosurf1
Looks like great catfish bait bonitos
Had last summer 18. To 20 lbs straighten a circle hook had one of those I'd had him nice hooks

Fishing bonita was a different story. They would run with the bait in their mouths. I switched to 2/0 then got a bluefin. Thanks for your support!
I fish bluefin with #4 small circle hooks... 90lb bluefin on it.. small hooks more hookups.

would you say that you got bit more on the size 2 hook vrs the 2/0 hook?
I missed more on the 2. Thank goodness I changed before the tuna. Thanks for watching!
Times have changed working on the sharpshooter with frank hall in the 1970's i never gaffed a Bonita lol
Those are knock off colt sniper jigs? They look exactly the same to me
Yes, the ones with the yellow tag. Colt snipers don’t come in 150 gram. Thanks for watching!
@@fishnsage oh your right! Shimano only makes them up to 120grams. I guess i have a box full of the knock offs lol. Ive caught so many fish on them and they were half the price of Shimano
@@fishnsage have you compared the knock offs and real ones side by side?
Hopefully I can have better luck on tuna when I go on the San Diego this Wednesday
There's tonnage of big bonita out there. That's for sure! Good luck!
@@fishnsage well I’ll take some Bonita over getting skunked any day

@@adelacruz2887 better luck than I had on the grande on the 23rd
the hooks werent too small you just aren't supposed to set a circle hook you just start reeling and it sets itself
I got one on the small hook and luckily changed hooks for the tuna. I can feel when the fish is just mouthing the bait. Thanks for watching!
You gotta wind on those bad boys ...
They mouth the baits an I end up pulling hooks out. Thanks for watching!
Hey what do the fisherman do to bunch up a lot of fishing poles together?
I like the velcro rod straps. You need two of them. www.evike.com/products/78520/

Set hook, wind with same hand. Try that.
Asses to elbows !
I've seen worse.
Bass fresh water big mouth hanpa
Alfa bras right here. Catfish always
That's a nice 300 dollar trip for bonita.😂😂😂

Rita was my first love hope she's ok and all
Bro did you really overhand cast on a party boat and nobody said anything, that’s insane.
It’s cool in the bow. You can’t jig cast by the bait tank. Thanks for watching!
That wouldn't fly on the east coast party boats, but your boats beams are wider which allows them to cast that way.
@@tom-nl5sj yea that’s exactly what I’m saying, here on the north east their throwing you overboard if you cast like that 😂😂
@@marcuslarwa9098 Yep that's for sure. You learn to underhand cast away from the boat and once you get used to your gear you can damn near cast that way almost as good as an overhead cast. Especially when your fishing a jig.
I can’t stop laughing. Watching people having a ball. I wish I didn’t live 1,300 miles away
Thanks it was a really fun time! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'll put 80 million for king Russell to win Kentucky derby this year jsm so let it be said let it be written let it be bet
Too bad they were too busy to bleed those bonies
Thin sliced bony filet on the grill is still delicious! Thanks for watching!
Lol it’s not your hooks buddy, don’t set the hook

Why do you crank the drag full on those tiny things? Odd
My drag was set too loose. I always back the preset drag off when I'm not using it. Thanks!
The Sd looks like a whale watching boat😹 reminds me of the dana pride
You're probably right. I wish it had some bunks. Thanks again!
@@fishnsage No Bunks? Wow 😮
I believe it used to be a whale watching boat back in the day 😂
