Stardust 3/4 day 8.15.23

By Jaime Diamond on Aug 16, 2023 at 04:05 AM in Fishing Report

Despite best efforts by everybody on board today, we all had a collegiate level lesson in big game fishing. It’s all or nothing. Unfortunately, today we were not able to land any bluefin. That’s not to say there weren’t tons of fish all over the place, because there was! Tomorrow we are 1/2 day fishing for calicos, sand bass, whitefish, rockfish, and whatever else wants to play. Our 3/4 day trips on Thursday and Friday are going to continue pursuing those big blue footballs. A 40–60 LB outfit will suffice. 120 g – 150 g colt snipers, 4–6 ounce jigs, surface irons are all safe choices to bring with you. You can book online www.stardustsportfishing.com or call the office tomorrow 805-963-3564. Have a good night everybody.

Coral Sea 3/4 day 8.15.23

By Jaime Diamond on Aug 16, 2023 at 03:51 AM in Fishing Report

Well the guys gave it hell today. Good company but the BFT were being BFT and wanted nothing to do with us. We did see enough fish to have a good day which was pretty cool. Hopefully they stick around our local waters. We threw on some cod at the end of the day and headed for the barn. We’ll check back in tomorrow.

25 Anglers
86 Rockfish

Next available open party trips are next week Tuesday-Friday 3/4 day trips. Book online at www.stardustsportfishing.com or call the Santa Barbara landing at 805-963-3564

Coral Sea 3/4 day 8.14.23

By Jaime Diamond on Aug 15, 2023 at 12:25 AM in Fishing Report

Very interesting day today we caught our limit of rockfish and then went tuna fishing and caught a couple of very nice bluefin tuna. We also had a few casualties. No fault of anybody, the hook pulled. This is a first for me, catching bluefin tuna inside the Santa Barbara Channel, right in our backyard!
The Stardust is a go tomorrow with plenty of room. Both boats will be fishing for blue fin tomorrow. As long as the fish are out there, we will give it a shot on 3/4 day trips. Bring your HEAVY GEAR. 65 pound braid, 80 pound mono.

Coral Sea 3/4 day 8.11.23

By Jaime Diamond on Aug 12, 2023 at 12:52 AM in Fishing Report

Different day today at the islands, extremely calm no current to speak of we had to make a few adjustments and then it was game on. Once again, using Bait is far superior to anything else not to see jigs and other lures weren’t working, but Bait was the key. Started off a little deeper this morning, with not much success because of the lack of current. Then we went in shallow and proceeded to put the wood to a huge variety of fish today.
24 anglers caught 120 white fish 240 rockfish 11 lingcod 1 sheephead.
We still have plenty of room each day this week, call the office 805-963-3564 or book online www.stardustsportfishing.com
