Fishing for Bluefin Tuna is extremely challenging but when you finally crack the code it can be quite rewarding. Any size will work just as long as the fish hits the deck in the end 🤙🏽

$240 trip fee + $22 Mexican Fishing License. Food & beverages, fish cleaning + tip for crew + cook. All in about $400 🤙🏽

No problem & thank you for the compliment. I'm glad you were able to pick up some knowledge for your upcoming trip. Hopefully, the fish gods are with y'all, sending u with good vibes brotha 🤙🏽 BOOM 💥

Crowded n hectic but you all make it happen👍🎣👏

Nut to butt style fishing 😆 Gotta work together, party / cattle / head boat gets the job done 🐟 @@timmiller3133

Thanks man, much appreciated on the compliment. I try to stay positive out there even when it's tough. As far as the video goes just trying to keep the quality very high, while providing entertainment value. Tight lines 🤙🏽

Wow, sounds like a solid trip to hop on always fun fishing a light load. I can't make this trip, but hopefully those spots fill up for y'all. 2 day sounds like you'll be heading West. I wish the fish luck cuz they might need it 🤙🏽

This trip was early July the 8th. The Bluefin Tuna were close to the beach & biting pretty decent for a little while. Right now they're starting to see some Yellowfin Tuna & Kelp Dorados. Hopefully you guys run into some nice schools out there, tight lines 👍🏽

@@SlaycationFishing I figured… right on. Thanks for the response! Bitchin video.

I appreciate the compliment brotha thank you for tuning in & I wanna send you off with some good vibes Thursday, hopefully the Bluefin make an appearance for you 🐟@@ap4802

Yeah the Yellowtail were a bit sqwirrly & the Bluefin that bit the jig were angy after being just hooked. If you keep your fish below the surface & rod under the armpit, it's way easier to gaff 🤙🏽

Hellz yeah thank you for subscribing bro, welcome to the channel 🤙🏽 Just because you did that & commented I'll put another 'Dre Dog' song in the next video & give you a shout-out 🤙🏽

Doing good, he had an Overnight on the Barbie Doll recently I'll ask him how it went. How's Saipan bro?

I can't believe how fishy that boat is. Always BIT 🐟

Hahaha we have Halibut F&C too 🐟

Thanks brotha. Can't wait to slay some Yellowtails with you again 🤙🏽

Likewise Dennis. Sorry my battery died on you there but good one catching a YT on the 2nd kelp. It amazes me how good the San Diego boat & crew is, it's always the best time on there. Tight lines brotha! 🤙🏽

If you're not learning, you're not earning. As technology advances we strive to become more proficient with our gear to give ourselves the best shot at success. I hope to see you out on the water someday putting those 3 rods to work. Good luck 🤙🏽

Good strategy there. I'll try and implement that one on the next trip & I'll give you a shout-out 🤙🏽 Good deal, thank you for your input @dojo1249

Boil Central 🔥 It's true, I've been struggling on spinning gear for while now BUT, I did aquire a Penn Fathom II 25 size 2 speed recently so it's time to get with the program. Just purchased my first Tady jigs recently & looking forward to learning how to get em bit 🤙🏽 Thanks for checking in @Nobodybaby78

@@SlaycationFishing hell yeah bro that’s a good reel! Versatile

Bought it for 40# flyline setup but can drop it down to 30 if needed. Saw several people slay BFT on the same reel during this trip 🤙🏽

True. It's always a challenge fishing on a 'cattle' boat so when I do, I prefer it to be the San Diego. Overnight trips are my favorite, I just haven't been able to hop on the right one this year. Always after the BFT, so a longer trip is in the scope 🤙🏽

Timing was just perfect, early July. The reel was actually 900 & the rod & line was 450 😆 Time to put it to some more use soon 🤙🏽 @@tamalpias

That would depend on your knot connection. If you can tie a knot that fits through the guides well, you can go with a longer leader. A rod length of fluoro leader with 40# Seaguar Gold got my bite 🤙🏽

Typically 3-4 ft of floro all it takes

They were boiling off the chum in the corner pretty good for most the stop. If you casted in the wind with a hot bait it was almost an instant bite. Stern cam when the action / head camera is slow 🤙🏽

😂 That's right 👍🏽 GO GO GO

As many times as it takes to get bit. When they're boiling by the boat like that it almost an instant bite if you have the right bait. If your bait's not swimming, you're not winning, change it 🤙🏽

A lot of of “newbies” or rookies on this boat so there’s A lot the deckhand needs to repeat! It’s a Great boat though and really a great place to learn

Always the best time, especially on the San Diego. The Bluefin bite is tough on a full day boat but if you time it just right you can get lucky. Tight lines my friend! 🤙🏽

😂 Right? I guess if the boat was named Poacher, they'd be living up to the name. Always a few of em hanging off the San Diego out there 🤙🏼

Yes, the best in the business IMO. I haven't fished on many other boats because this is the ultimate fishing challenge on this vessel. The crew is super skilled and they make you so much better after fishing with them 🤙🏽

I have fished with them for a couple of years now I am always ready to learn from them they really try to put you on fish

For sure brother. I love how Captain Matt & Amado were hooking more fish than anybody & handing them off to the nearest angler. Top notch right there 🤙🏼

I'm watching these video and it looks like too many ppl are on deck? At least 35-40 how many booked?

Yes, let's go fishing 🤙🏽 I don't have any trips planned so I'll hop on the right one. Do they have any spots open? 🤔 The boat was almost full that day 33 anglers, 1 spot open

My bad. My editing style is a little bit loco I know, but I accidentally had the camera on time lapse when I was recording part of the video so I'll work on that for next time. Thank you for at least giving it a shot, I'll try & tone down the fancy stuff 🤙🏽 @dojo1249

It's unfortunate to get skunked on a trip for sure, but failure makes you better in the end as you'll be more prepared next time around. Thank you for the well wishes & keep slayin' em out there 🤙🏽 @elbiebartolome

Yo Henry! When are you visiting CA next? Let's go slay some Yellowtail & Tunas 🐟

If that's an Owner hook, yes. Mutu Circle hooks size 2 & 4 will work for Yellowfin Tuna 🤙🏼

Thank you for the advice @scottballinger40 That setup is more of a trolling rig so I'll be going with a jigging combo from now on. Jigging master monster game PE 7 or 8 with a matching rod should work for night time fishing 🤙🏼

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 UA-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 🤙🏽
