Fishing for Bluefin Tuna aboard the Excel!

Tuna Aug-13 034A good friend of mine, Matt McMillan and I went on a 3 day trip out of San Diego aboard the Excel.  We were targeting mainly Bluefin Tuna and Yellowtail.  On the final day we really got into them about 50 miles south of San Diego.

 

Catching Stripers at Lake Amistad on the Alabama Rig

While fishing at Amistad up at mile marker 19 when the lake was 50 feet low I saw some herons on the opposite bank.  When I went over there I saw some streaks on the Hummingbird when I was about 20 yards from the bank in 35 feet of water.  The video contains pictures of about a 1/3 of the striped bass that I caught.
