Red Rooster III is a spacious, comfortable, and well laid-out vessel... I'd love to ride her again. :D

Red Rooster III is open 13-18 June 2017;
https://www.hmlanding.com/boat/red-rooster-iii#tab-open-trips
it will be a blast a million times over if AT.com pull this out....
been on the SOA for 20 years, going to stay with them for the june trip, but i am looking for a guadalupe trip and was thinking of the Humboldt group on the royal star from august 12-19, 2017. that will likely be a guadalupe trip. it's just that their trips are $400 a day. by comparison, our trip would be $300 per day. their 7 day trip is $2800, not including crew tip and fish processing. our trip is $1600 for 5 days, and that includes a $200 tip for the crew
Still, I haven't been to the 'lupe so it's a bucket list item!
i know some of the humboldt tuna guys and they're a really nice bunch. standard format, though. tag your own fish, charter master rides for free, tip and mexican licenses not included. not like our trip, but then our trip is anything but standard.
mike pate won't be able to join us this year, jonathan is in, and mel is on standby.
thanks BOSS!

I sure hate to miss the SOA trip (and you guys!), but it appears that I will be on a Hawaii cruise with the wife and two other couples in June. I got outvoted 5-1. But pencil me in if we can put together a Guadalupe trip next year. I'm going to Alijos on the Excel next month. That's another item off my "bucket list".
Heck, it might be cheaper for me to just move to CA.
Hot Tuna - a great band from the 70's.

Looks like we won't be seeing Sara of Five Star at the dock offloading our fish on any future trips. Ownership change in December.
http://www.bdoutdoors.com/forums/threads/five-star-will-be-under-new-ownership.643308/
Sarah will be surely missed.
I know there are a bunch of young fisherman that will definitely miss seeing Tanner...they would go fishing out of SD just for a chance to talk to Tanner...Stalker.... lol
I wish them the very best. They deserve a break. It's hard work.

If Tanner is the daughter, there are some OLD fishermen that will miss her as well. As my Grandad would say, "she would make a bulldog break his chain". ;D

finally got the email out to everyone. we lost matt juanes. he's got a young family and he's trying to buy a house.
yeah, tim won't be able to make it this year.... :-\
drew and jun both had things come up, so they won't be able to come. david and mel, you're on!!!!
joel is finally back from columbia and jack just got back from chile.
mel won't be able to join us.
Hi everybody, I just found out I got a promotion I've been trying for at SF General Hospital, 2 blocks from my house ;).
The downside is that it comes with a 6 month probationary period which I want to push through as quickly as possible.
I've been on all the other trips and it's been a highlight of those years, I'm going to really miss the fishing and camaraderie and food and drinks and stories and probably not Capt. Brian.
I plan to return next year and I'll be following all the pre & post trip reports for this year.
Best of luck, Jack
The SOA now has Guadalupe permits, so it's available.
i'll get emails out to everyone as soon as i can, but basically cedros might close to all boats over 35 feet, but the spirit of adventure should be able to get a permit to go to guadalupe in june. that would likely cost us an extra $250. all of the details are up in the air right now. if we go the the 'lupe, everything will be different. instead of 30-40 pound gear, it would now be 60-80. here, fishing as a team is even more critical. if we get someone fishing with 40# mono, or god forbid, 30# mono, they will get 10 times as many bites, but lose 9 of those fish to the sharks. we will have to work as a team. everyone will have to do the same thing. these fish will run 40 to 120 pounds. to minimize the risk of getting sharked, you will have to land them within 10 minutes. that's doable. at puerto vallarta, i landed a 200 pound yellowfin in 15 minutes with 80 pound gear.
stay tuned..... :-\
I'm in
This will be a much needed vacation for me. 60# and 80# rig. Hmm. What can I bring? 60#, 80# and 100# rig and a bait/squid stick.
I'd better get ready for this.
This would be a first for me, I've wanted to see the Lupe since I was a kid. I would have been more than happy to just get a drive by and see them with my own eyes, fishing there is a whole nother level. If there is anything I can do to rob the tax man I'm up for.
Got my fingers crossed all things fall into place XXXXX
Oh gee, Guadalupe instead of Cedros? What a let down... NOT! That's a bucket list destination for me. I've got an HX Raptor with 60# on a Phenix phd700x2h, a Mak 16Sea with 80# on a phd700x3h and a Mak 20Sea on a Calstar 6460xxh with 130# all ready to go. The Mak 20 would be for dropper loop for some of the big YT that live down there. I have no idea what we'd find there in June but I hope everyone has appropriate gear for whatever we'll find.
Guys that went there early July last year reported 25-50# YFT and big YT on the dropper loop. Go big or get rocked on the dropper loop. Mostly 30-50# line with 100#+ for the dropper loop. The big YFT are in the fall.
Just remember guys sometimes the Lupe shuts down. I don't mean the island or access to is if you have passes, I mean conditions can shutdown the bite or make the island unfishable and since it is so far away from other fishing options captains sometimes will not head there until they have positive feed back that fish are there and conditions are right.
If it were me going on the trip I'd bring the same gear that was recommended on the other trips but if the Lupe is an option I'd add a 60 lb and a 80 lb rig. Since I troll with either a 60 lb or 80 lb setup that really means I only need to add one other rig.
Don't worry if the Lupe and Cedros are not in the cards there are many places to fish within 6 day range like, Benedicto, Uncle Sam Bank and many places in and off shore along the Baja coast.
Edit: Last year a buddy of mine went on a 5 day boat thinking they may hit the Lupe to only find out when they left the harbor the boat made a right meaning heading somewhat northerly instead of a left. This boat and many of the long range fleet headed over Clemente to jump all over the bigger BFT that were there.
I have all the luck :'( I was signed up to go this year, then had to cancel because of a Hawaii trip conflict with two other couples. Now the Hawaii trip is postponed because one of the daughters of our travel mates has decided to get married in June. And now I hear that 'Lupe is probably in and Cedros is probably out.
I haven't checked, but I'll bet I didn't win the lottery this week either.

Mike, I know how heartbroken you must be about that ::) but oh,well. ;D
Meantime, you should jump on the SOA waiting list... or, alternatively, come join me on my
ROYAL STAR 8-day leaving June 3rd. She has a Guadalupe permit, and who knows... Alijos? ;)

Well then Peaches, get yourself on the standby list.
Peaches...I know a guy that has a house in Cayucos...Don't tell anyone at at all...But maybe I can contact this guy & see if this said house is available on those dates? Maybe we could go fishing? Maybe I should put the beer down.
BT
i'll work something out...... ;D

I'm in for the beach house Timmy.
The 1099 gods nailed me and I bailed for this trip although I know I will regret it.
Up for the coast anytime.

1099 gods!!! Uggghhh!!! I may or may not even be available??? I have a Skype interview for a machine operator job in Oxnard tomorrow...Wish me luck!...I'm a bit nervous of leaving my family to find a job..Can you imagine me in a bunny suit working in a clean room ;D

good luck with the job interview!!!!!
Good luck on the interview!

OK, I'll bite. What the heck does a house in Cayucos have to do with the SOA trip to Guadalupe? I think you've been smoking rabbit tobacco in your bunny suit!
Peaches
Peaches,
As a consolation prize for those of us stuck on the beach this year , the Cayucas alternative may be what we all need.
Mrs Tani senior , Alan's Mom , only trusts Big Tim with the key 😘 Go figure?

Deposit is in the mail! Flight is booked (Delta 1792 arriving SAN at 3:05). Parking at ATL is booked. Rooming at the Vagabond with Bill Karr, who doubles as my Left Coast liquor supplier. Should be at the Vagabond about 4ish.
Oh, June 15th is my 68th birthday. At a minimum I expect a cake and some dancing girls! No candles on the cake, might be a fire hazard.
I'll need to be back at the airport by 9 AM on the 18th. That might be tight.
104 days and a wakeup!
Pate
So far I have 4 rods going, and that's more than enough at the Lupe.
we lost erik fukumitsu and his buddy, david, is on the fence. mike pate is in. my liver hurts already...... ;D
:D
All the scheduling you guys have to do makes me Dizzy.
For the expense and trouble to get on that boat. I'll keep doing what I'm doing.
I wish you all the best of luck.
I mean that,
Daron
it's actually not that bad!
ok, everybody is all paid up. thanks, guys! the check for the boat ride has already been sent. i am going to send the check for the tip soon. any extra money will go towards mexican licenses and/or the guadalupe surcharge. thanks!!!!!
Hi Alan, what is the updated list?
just updated the list. thanks for the reminder!
Thanks Alan. Made reservations at the Vagabond Inn in San Diego off of Scott. See you guys down there...maybe for dinner. I'm going to email you my Phone number if you need to reach me.
I'll be at the Vagabond. Drinks in the parking lot with Ed as bartender (this year with Alan's Scotch?) and dinner at Miguel's is traditional.
I should be at the Vagabond by 4:00pm. Really looking forward to meeting everyone. My cell is 951-217-2085

Glad to see Joey on the list!

I arrive in SAN at 4PM on Delta 1409 (Monday 12th). Think I'll try Uber for the 1st time. I've had 2 bad experiences with the airport taxi queue. I have to be back at the airport by 9:30 Sunday morning. Maybe someone could drop me by there on their way to Five Star.
Ed, you have the honor of hauling my fish back to Alan and your parents.
My cell is (229) 344-1973.

Water temps are moving up at the Lupe which may bring in more tails, but still a little cool for the tuna.
May be productive to pick up a few yummee flyers for trolling through the water going south. Might hit a couple of cow bluefin along the way.
