Had a chance to go out with a couple of buddies on the New Lo-An overnighter. The fishing has been really slow but weather was forecast to be awesome so we took a chance. True to form the fishing was slow. We saw lots of bluefin that did not want to bite. In the end we managed 6 fish total for the whole boat of 32 anglers. But that's fishing. I managed to hook a bluefin to provide a little action for the vid. lol. We also saw lots of life out there with dolphins, whales, birds etc. The crew of New Lo-An was first class as always! Met alot of great people on this trip! Even though the fishing was slow people still had a great time on the water. Ricky, Matt, Andrew, John and others with names that have escaped me...it was great to meet and chat with all of you. Hope to share a rail with you guys in the future! Enjoy the video everyone!
Chubby dude in the camo shirt: How about GETTING OUT OF THE WAY when someone is on a fish and tying to get down the rail. Man...do I not miss the cattle boats!
Nicky Shamrock Yeah it happens. Some people just don’t know what to do. After a few trips he’ll learn. It’s all good. You gotta miss the greasy cattle boat burgers tho right? 😂
This is why i prefer rods with buitli in reel seats. Along with clamps, serves as a backup if clamps break for whatever reason I love the new lo Ann. My preferred 1 to 2 day boat out of San Diego. Haven't been on the boat for about 5 yrs now due to my personal issues. So I rely on you tube for my fishing addiction lol
daniel paulus I’m with you on reel seats. Whenever possible I’d have a reel seat installed. Yeah the NLA is also my favorite short-range boat. I’ll be fishing it a lot this year so stay tuned! Hopefully you’ll be able to get out there soon. Tight lines!
Do you have any experience with a 900L or 900Xl or 900XLH? I prefer 9' rods and I'm looking for one of the above-mentioned rods to use for 20lb bait rod
I've used the 900L and 900XL before and they're great. I'm sure the 900XLH would be great as well. To me the XL is perfect for 15lb, XLH for 20lb, L for 25lb. Can't go wrong with any of those. 👍
Bernardo Villanueva I set it at 8lbs for this trip. Was pulling hard because of the reel situation. Any longer I don’t think I’d land that fish. Good luck on your trip! 👍
Ahmer Khan Nice reel! I’m not too familiar with the Japanese versions. But if your 35n is like the US 35n then it’s a lot bigger than the reel I was using in this vid. The reel here is the US 15h version. It’s the small one. Only weighs 405g. About half the size of your jigging reel. 👍
Thanks for the reply. The 35n-sj reel is the same as the US version but with a different jigging handle. Your reel while a bit smaller has more line capacity than my 35n-sj. It's adequate but I still wish it could hold more line.
thenatnatboy The fish were really line shy on that trip. I had to drop down to 20lb to get a bite. It was the only baitfish bft on the boat. 50lb leader would definitely be a lot better but the just weren’t biting heavier line.
@@jigslingersfishingchannel3713 hey thanks for replying. So what you mentioned that the tunas was eager to bite on a thinner leader line than if you were to have a heavier leader line? I don't have that much of an experience with tuna fishing other than it almost spooled me last time I was on a false albacore trip. I was using 80lb braided power pro and we were using croc to as lures the whole time. The crew on board was too busy fishing for themselves so I was stranded with a piece of lure and some braided main line without any monofilament for leader
thenatnatboy Nice! Those things fight hard! Are you on the East Coast? The reel you used probably had insufficient line. Glad you land it tho. Tuna are a blast to catch! The bluefin we have out here in SoCal gets really finicky sometimes. That’s when we’ll drop down in leader size to get a bite. Sometimes it works. Other times it’s just frustration lol. Tight lines!
@@jigslingersfishingchannel3713 Now I see! Yes I am at the east coast. I didn't have much lines for that trip probably less than 80 yards after i spooled from a leftover i have laying around; which I shouldn't have done in the first place. The false albacore were a great fight. I can't wait to go back for another one but the wave was so bad for that trip even thought it was technically less than 5 miles from the shore.
hey brotha im planning to go on a overnight trip tomorrow! my first! kinda nervous haha any advice on what setup to bring? my biggest reel is a talica 10ii. should i rent a heavier grear?
Khai Nguyen Nah don’t be nervous. Exciting times! What boat will you be on? If leaving from San Diego then you’ll be fishing the yellowfin, skipjack, dorado stuffs. No need for heavy gear. Your Talica 10 is plenty big enough as your heaviest setup. Have a 20lb setup and a 30lb setup for bait. Your Talica 10 could fish a flat fall in case you guys run into some bigger fish. Have a optional 4th setup for either poppers or colt snipers if you want to use those. The key will be getting the bait through the skippies to get to the yft. Have a few 1/4oz sliders or rubbercore sinkers to help you with that. Watch my last video on the Prowler and the vid before that on the Dominator. That is the exact type of fishing you’re in for. Fun stuffs! You’re gonna love it! Good luck and report back how you did! 👍
The Aztec is the sister boat of the Dominator. Same layout. There are a few huge bunks. Try to get 1 of those. I was able to grabbed a big one on the Dominator. Like a king bed! lol 40# is plenty, bro. No need for 50# or 60#. Not enough time on the overnight from SD to get to the big bf zone. You'll be fishing about 40 miles out on the yft and skippies. The fish are 90% under 20lbs. They're super fun tho! Pick a good bait...toss it out...hook a tuna...repeat! :)
Joe Cruz Bluefin have been here all year. But seeing them and catch them are two different things. Wait for the yellowfin to show up in great numbers. Usually end of Aug-early Oct.
Bro watching this video was like a scary movie and roller coaster.... Never know how it was going to end. Congrats on that BFT. 20lb line for the win. What knot did you tie to the hook???
You don't buddy's clip , just remember back in golden years no clips you hook bring in or you hook and lose , or you don't get bote that's real commercial fishing aspect, that's just the way it is
Next time you're in a picky bite don't be afraid to drop down in line class. Get bit first then worry about landing them. Especially if the fish aren't that big. Good luck out there!
