Accurate Fishing - FISH HARD

2022 July 26-31 American Angler Accurate 5-day Trip

2022 July 26-31 American Angler Accurate 5-day Trip

Brian Kiyohara captained the Accurate 5-day trip on the American Angler along with crew (Bradly, Kirk, Patrick, Barry, Javier and Chase).  We started fishing the Coronado Island area the day we departed, fished kelps for yellowtail the 2nd day and fished for BFT on the 3rd, 4th and 5th day (5 days of fishing on a 5-day trip is rather rare).  The 200# class BFT were night time knife jig fish with a lot of 100# BFT caught on flyline and torpedo sinker rigs during the day.  Everyone got a 100# BFT or bigger and everyone had a great time with too much to eat.

Thank you to Accurate Reels, Calstar Rods, Izorline, Salas Lures, Island Fishing Tackle, Tac Glue and Sportsman Seaforth Fish Processing for supporting the trip.

We plan on doing it again next year.  Can’t wait.  Contact the American Angler office to join us.
