Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

No matter how you slice it the fishing during this
years East Cape Bisbee was dismal. 62 boats fishing
3 long days and only managed to bring one
qualifying blue marlin over 300 pounds to the
scales. Until after lines out on the third day not
even one short fish was weighed. That tells me not
another fish even close to 300 pounds was brought
to leader.
Dorado and tuna fishing was also poor. The largest
dorado weighed was 47 pounds. On the second day
a 33 pound dorado won the daily jack pot. I'm
reading all the hoop da la about what a great
tournement it was and scratching my head. Yes, I
enjoy all the excitement of fishing a big tournament
as much as the next guy. Part of that excitment was
deflated by the lack of action. All that can be said
is, that's fishing. The East Cape is a phenomenal
fishery and hopefully will show more of what it has
to offer at next years tournament.
On a bright note Buena Vista Beach Resort and the
Valdez brothers were excellent hosts and did an
outstanding job accomodating tournament
participants and spectators.
I do want to make one more observation about the
tournament before moving to other fishing action
this week. It seems to me that there's an elephant in
the room that no one wants to talk about. At last
years tourney it was made clear that the use of
circle hooks with bait would be mandatory this year.
I'm not a fan of the circles and was reluctant. I do
like the thrill of the competition so decided to enter
the contest. As the rules of the tournament were
explained at the captains meeting it was not clear
what Wayne Bisbee was saying about the
deployment of circle hooks. After a bunch of double
talk I finally asked the question. 'If we bring a
dorado to the scale with a J hook hanging out of it's
mouth will it be disqualified?' Waynes answer was,
'No, you can catch tuna and dorado with a J hook
and they will not be disqualified.' Now I am more
confused than ever. The Bisbees Off Shore
Tournaments are kill tournaments. You don't win if
you don't kill the biggest fish. Now it is mandatory
to use a circle hook when baiting a marlin but not
when baiting other game fish? I just don't get it.....
What are they thinking?
This week, George Gavallos showed up with some
of his family and friends. When George fishes with
us they always bite. This guy has good Karma and
this year was no exception. First day out his request
was some fish for the cooler and they bagged 14
yellowfin to 40 pounds and released a sailfish.
Second day they filled our fish box with tuna again
and came in early. Today was planned to be a lady
and kids day. Before 8AM the kids had all the action
they could handle including several roosterfish.
While they retired to our air conditioned parlor
George couldn't stand it so we went out and
smacked the tuna one more time.
