June 8, 2021

Did a little trolling when the tuna bite slowed.

June 7, 2021

Nice weather the last few days. Picking away on the tuna.

June 5, 2021

The weather was great today. A nice relief from yesterday. Leroy with a nice fish in the high hundreds. Picked off more decent fish today. Sharks definitely put a hurt on our day. Really a bummer. Tough day yesterday, with a lot of wind and rain. Only a handful of tuna and wahoo with the stormy conditions

June 3, 2021

Our first day gave us a chance at wahoo and a couple tuna. Steady strikes for a few hours until it was exhausted. It was a nice way to get the ball rolling while the weather is good. Today we sat on the anchor all day and experienced a pick on nice grade tuna. 140 pounds was the average with a few bigger and a couple smaller. Rocco pulled out this kite fish just over the 200 pound mark

June Heat sponsored by Accurate Reels sailed May 29th and will return June 13th

Great group of Anglers, giving a toast in memory of the Legend Jack Neilson

May 23-25, 2021

The 1.5 day that returned yesterday got limits of yellowtail and some nice hits on the tuna!

May 7-9, 2021

The first of our three weekend trips just docked this morning. The trip had a slow start and an explosive finish that earned them limits of Bluefin tuna. Nice grade of fish up to 69 pounds that took the jackpot. We have a little more maintenance this week and back on the fishing grounds on Friday.

Phil Anderson with a nice wahoo on the kite.

Long Range Revival

Its been busy the last few days. We got to experience some of the best long range fishing we’ve seen in years. We opted out of going to the lower banks due to lack of sign and cooler water and bombed it west. We only had a few days to fish but that’s all we needed. There is a really good sign of fish and things to come. Now we are headed into Cabo enjoying some nice weather and some good company.

We gave a toast to Jack Nilsen this afternoon on his favorite spot on the Red Rooster. Host Bob Peterson brought out Jackie’s drink of choice Crown Royal. Could not have asked for a more beautiful day to celebrate Jack’s life. Fish Hard Loving Life

Jan. 6, 2021

We searched for bluefin the first day of our Seeker Rods 10/13 day trip. Rough weather made it difficult to locate them. So we are headed south enjoying some warmer weather and calmer seas.

Lot of big ones today! Most in the 180lb range with 2 cows and 1 super. Overall good fishing but the typical heartbreaks kept haunting us. Weather looks to aggressive to fish bluefin tomorrow so we will be on the beach. Yellowtail and cod are on the agenda for the morning.

Dec. 28, 2020

Excellent bluefin fishing last couple days. Weather has been back and forth but plenty fishable. Fish have been 80 to 190 lbs with the majority being around 120. They've been eating the heavy line luckily. Lot of broken reels and some rods. It’s been eventful to say the least.

Dec. 15, 2020

Had another day of Yellowtail fishing working up the beach. Tough conditions with the weather but still kept the guys busy. Broke down all the gear and heading home . Trying to get up the beach before the heavy winds tomorrow

Dec. 10, 2020

Nothing going on the tuna today. Watched the fish boil around until lunch, then took off to head up. Rudy picked off this giant wahoo that was the highlight of the day.

Dec. 9, 2020

We had a few bites today but overall slow . In the morning it felt like you had a decent chance at a bite but the afternoon was more show and no go. We are going to give it another try tomorrow and hope for a few bites.

Ben finished this one of 80lb. BC picked off a nice tuna Mark with a 251 on the Kite

Dec. 8, 2020

No sign today on the other Banks . Nice water and bait life just no fish. A likely area for some to move in just not yet we looked offshore in the afternoon and found big areas of porpoise with not much to offer . No productivity today but at least turned over a couple more stones. Back up to where we were getting a few bites tomorrow. Hopefully things have changed for the better. Pretty good show all day just no go. Just a few bites throughout the entire day for a couple fish. Steve again today the lucky angler that landed the only two fish today. Tomorrow we are going to check put a couple other areas in hopes of fish that will cooperate

Dec. 7, 2020

With the exception of Steve's, 221 pound tuna the day was very slow. One other fish 65 pounds in the evening after watching fish boil around all day.

Dec. 5, 2020

Hurricane Bank was poor, we tagged a dozen fish 30 to 60 pounds and 25 wahoo. Sharks were really bad and could not fish on the anchor. Travelling again to get out of the weather and up to the beach to try for a couple big tuna.

Nov. 24, 2020

The Red Rooster III, will be with US Customs at 9am and back at the H&M dock at 10am, Nov. 24th.

Nov. 16, 2020

Nice day of trophy yellowtail and wahoo.

Nov. 13, 2020
We left on our Accurate fly home 12day with a light load of passengers. The first couple days we have focused on Yellowtail out at the Rocks with a day and a half of big yellowtail and today on the ridge with wahoo and school size tuna. Jack Neilson has been great with giveaways and Accurate daily jackpot prizes
