Wednesday August 27, 2008 Report
------------------------
The Tuna
fishing continues at a health pace--
boats out to the Butterfly- inside to the 181-
182 "Ridge" were puttin' em' in the box--- Just
had a triple- got one hanging now and were
soaking baits
Another
boat had his fill said the numbers ( 32:32
/ 118:05)
and another boat in the area wanted to keep it
hush- like there's going to be hundreds of other
boats out there today-
Just got
a 40 lber--
-- all we got was 30 lb ers--
yea this is a quality fish-- we're four off your
numbers-- 10:34am
We've
five or six aboard- lots of others swimming
around here-- come on in--just hung another
one--- 10:37am
Returning
boats from the Church Mouse
--flags flying
and talking of the fun event-- the Osborn had
lots of sardines in the water- trying to make
bait at Santa Barbara - big horse mackerel there
- seeing lots of fish there - most not willing
to bite-
Lots of radio
chatter these week days-
We had a good
stop just south of the 302 had all you wanted!
Hey Bob you
might want to come this way were just shy of the
181--- 12:02pm
any reports
from the 43-- yellowfin and albacore form a kelp
we've got three
40 05 almost
41 al the yellowfin you want-- 12:05pm
181
report we got 4 earlier on the puddlers-- been
quiet since then-- -
32:39/117:58
we're done-- we're done--
just get in front of em'- shut it down -get the
bait out-- we just got a triple---
The
bite had died out by the time we got there--
by 2:00 pm things had quieted down-- looking for
that afternoon show--
The navy
was conducting activities on ch 72 for
much of the day-
We've
got two more hanging - we're out of bait-- ---oh
we just hooked another one- but we're out of
bait-
-
We saw
5-6 jumpers--- fished the 14 for most a day
---nice day generally over a 5 mile area
surrounding the bank--
RJ got one there- I think on a drop back- after
raising the fish on a jig--
Hey JD----
We just
let one go--- Really Hooked
about 5 west of
the 14-- good signs of life here- birds bait--
there's jumpers all around here-- 5:29pm
EAL Bleeding Mac-
This
weekend San Clemente Island security web site
shows the Pyramid Cove will be closed for much
of the time-
Why in the world would they do that on a Holiday
weekend is beyond common sense -- the guy who
schedules this must not care about the public's
recreational time, best double check with
San Clemente
Island Security
Fishing
the West end of Catalina---

------------------------Tuesday's
Report
---------------------
2 day of
the The Church Mouse Marlin Tournament out of
Avalon going on today. Very good fishing as and
overall event for yesterdays --I think 25 marlin
released and about double that in strikes or
hook ups. Fish were caught from the East
End of Catalina (approx 8 off the Slide) to the
West End of the island- 125/ 172 out on the
Osborn Bank where the Magellan released 4 fish
there yesterday and one so far this morning.
Anothe fish caught off San Clemente '"Pyramid
Head" - Good overall fishing-- that snotty
westerly wind of Sunday never developed on
Monday even freshens up from the south- This
morning southerly flow looks to keep things
fishable- A couple of Dorado and a Yellowtail
were taken for the side bets--
Yacht
fishing -- just finished my Eggs Benedict, had
my third Bloody Marry- now I'm ready to go--
I took my
daughter and her boyfriend out yesterday ( East
End/ 8 off Slide) Raised 4 or maybe 5 fish -
Caught/ Released 1 marlin, had another one
to the boat-- hook pulled and had two others
fall off the jigs- We had good fishing. fish
came in on the EALS -Black & Purple, Black & Red
and a Blue/ White Silver Hi 5 mini- shaker--
Water 72 on
the 14 nice and blue- reported to have some free
swimming Dorado and a few under the paddies-- -
water off the Slide dropped a degree or
two-green up--
The 181
( just outside) the porpious are insane
--- were bit again-- Yellowfin----- got like 12
aboard now--11:50am---- other reports of those
fishing the area yesterday good Yellowfin--
plugged on 25 30 fish--
-
Hoot -Hoot Church

Swordfish seen
on the 14-12:07pm
Not the same
day as yesterday=at least so far on the marlin
seen- that stuff of the East end of Cat didn't
show as well - The stuff of the Osborn was not
quite as good either-maybe 7 fish for the day so
far - alot more boats day- - Reports from
yesterday late afternoon--- "Looking through the
Gyros- there wasn't a pass that I didn't see a
jumper, feeder or tailer- we should have had 6
fish"---
We got
ours on fishtraps slow trolled- Yellowfin- off
the 181-
Hoot---Hoot---That it ---4 Pm lines out--
quite day for the most part-- except for the
Osborn bank--- I think 5 or 6 off their today
for
34/35 released in the tournament-- that's a
tournament record-- - Thanks everyone for
participation--

What's the difference between Dolphin and
Porpoises
When asked the other day about the differences
between the two- here's a quick outline-Porpoises
and dolphins are classified into two different
families. The porpoises are in the family
Phocoenidae and the dolphins are in the family
Delphinidae.
The nose
A
dolphin usually has a pointed snout (beak)----
A porpoise snout is short and blunt

The Fin
/Dorsal
In Dolphin the leading edge is curved--The porpoise's fin is triangular like a shark's 
Shape
Dolphins are longer and sleeker in shape
-- Porpoises are shorter and more compact
Dolphins produce sounds we can hear (and are
talkative!) --- Porpoise sounds are inaudible to us.

This last year
marks 30
years I've been here in this same location on
Balboa Island
(outside a short year back in 90/91 when I left
when ownership was changed) 30 years of telling
and hearing fish stories, 30 years from calling
in a weekly fish report to the WON and local
newspapers, now this -the web site, this past
month 1,750,000 hits, 30 years of outfitting
private boats, yachts and super yachts, of
fishing around the globe or watching the Balboa
Island Ferry go back and forth with it's little
hoot as it crosses the bay. 30 years of helping
kids with drop lines and cut shrimp to growing
up and fishing marlin, now their kids come in
and I outfit their boats. This shop may not be
the easiest to get to but it's one of the nicest
locations to have a tackle shop-
Thank you for all
for your patronage over the years- JD

Later in the afternoon when the telephone booths
began to grow dark at the edges, I punched out
of the creek and went home. I had that hunchback
trout for dinner. Wrapped in cornmeal and fried
in butter, its hump tasted sweet as the kisses
of Esmeralda.
