SIR’s Area Fishing Group News Update for September 2023
What are those Sir's fishing group members up to? Well, it is Brione Beetz #2, Steve Paulick #95, me, and Stan Wong #8 in San Diego for the fishing groups 6-day long range trip on the Red Rooster 3. We boarded the RR3 shortly after this photo was taken. The vessel headed south into Mexican waters in search of Yellowfin tuna, Yellowtail, and exotics such as Dorado and Wahoo. We were not disappointed as limits of Yellowfin and Yellowtail were caught by all onboard. It was wide open fishing as the Captain of the RR3, Kevin Underwood, found schools of tuna and yellowtail that were more than willing to jump on our hooks! We were 2/3 of the way to Cabo San Lucas when we encountered the first school of tuna. It was pure mayhem for the 21 anglers onboard as we fought and landed fish. Fly lining, dropper loop and iron techniques all worked. I am biased to fly lining a live sardine. The excitement of a fish taking the live offering and peeling line off your reel is an adrenalin rush!
Steve Paulick with deckhand Anthony holding a huge Yellowtail he just wrangled on a live sardine. Steve is a happy camper. That fish is huge!
Another trip is already on the schedule for next year. If you would like to see a little more, I started a YouTube channel entitled El Pescador de Danville. If you would like to view 4 short videos taken during this trip please go to the channel.
Next adventure for members of the group is another trip to Lake Almanor for Kokanee trout. This is an extremely popular trip and is always filled early.
The fishing group meets on the 4th Thursday of the month (except for November and December when it is the 3rd Thursday) at 8:30 AM at Legends located at the Diablo Creek Golf Course 4050 Port Chicago Highway in Concord. Members often come early to enjoy breakfast and share fish lies!
