Hello from the bridge of the Shogun. Capt. Norm kept the boat in the pocket of cooler water all day today in pursuit of albacore. Everyone on board boated fish, with several stops keeping the crew busy from bow to stern. The weather came up a bit making conditions difficult to glass for fish but the birds gave away positions more than once. Everyone is enjoying a fine dinner downstairs and the boat is on course for Guadalupe Island. Both passengers and crew are excited, for many it will be their first visit.
Fishing for a living,
Capt. Pat and the Shogun crew

The Shogun has once again cleared Pt. Loma With A full load of bait and eager fishermen. Today we begin a 5 day trip sponsored by Izorline. There will be no shortage of new line to spool up at the end of the day, certainly a bonus on a fishing trip. At the moment there are several fishing options and Capt. Norm has chosen to put us on a patch of cooler water with high expectations of an albacore bite tomorrow. Some great fishing to go along with this fine August weather, we can only hope.
Fishing for a living,
Capt. Pat and the Shogun crew

Good evening to all,
It was a good day here at Cedros island. We had a mixed grade of yellowtail this morning. All drift fish, with most coming on the fly-line sardine, along with some action on the surface iron. World record yellowtail(92.1lbs.) holder Kevin Pfeif did a number on the early morning fish by slinging the light 7X on his long rod. The weather here is hot and muggy with the occasional breeze, which is welcome.

Today was spent traveling down the line and making time towards Cedros island. The plan is to get there in the dark and make some bait(mackerel) for the premium grade yellowtail that we will be able to devote all day to, tomorrow. Our weather is okay, not great, although its tough to tell as we are sliding down hill.

Hola everyone,
It was a outstanding day of catching big albacore here aboard Shogun. The Seeker/Soft Steel crew, with the new line of Super Seekers, worked like a well oiled machine. They have been doing this for alot of years now and it shows. Have you ever been on a sport boat when there are fish crashing the corner, a dozen people hooked up, and the decibel level is that of a conversation? That is what its like. This group works together and gets the job done. Good communication is one of the keys to making a catch.
Our pictures today include, Chris McClary and Bill "Willy" Casper with a brace of Fatsos pushing 40 pounds, Douglas Corbin with another big albacore and Seekers' own Roy Casey with one of the new Super Seekers bent over the rail.

Even though we were the last in line to unload today, the boys got the boat turned around in a timely manner and we were out the door and on our way to the albacore grounds. Once we arrived to the grounds, the action began. By the end of the day we had landed 64 albacore, wow, what a start to the annual five day Seeker/Soft Steel trip.

Today was spent looking for kelp paddies and finding quite a few. Finding the ones holding fish was a different story. The one lucky kelp that was holding fish did give up some quality yellowtail and small yellowfin tuna. The weather has come up and its a little on the bumpy side here, while going up the line.
Our ETA to Fisherman's Landing is 07:30.

We spent the day at Cedros, chasing yellowtail and scratching out a day of it. John Vanderwier landed a 34 pound halibut, while Larry Whatley was up to his old tricks again and getting them on the Super 6X surface iron. Its an incredible sight to see 25 to 35 pound fish boiling and foaming on bait balls not even a jig cast away.
