Skipper Finds A Bluefin

Tim Ekstrom doesn’t get much chance to fish, since he stays busy finding the critters most of the time. When he has found ‘em he usually has to spend his time assisting anglers, gaffing fish and seeing to the proper operation of the boat and its equipment.

But when Tim skippered his latest Royal Star trip he took a moment to grab a sardine and take it up to the bow during a bluefin bite.

“I made one cast off the bow,” he said to dock reporter Bill Roecker, “with one bait, and I got bit!”

Ekstrom was fishing with a borrowed rig, an Accurate 870 two-speed reel and a matching Accurate seven-foot rod. He got the fish and weighed it in on the ship’s scales a 67.5 pounds. If he’d been eligible to compete for the jackpot the fish would have won second place on the trip, since it was beaten only by a 110-pound Alijos Rocks yellowfin, caught a lot farther south than the bluefin.

Asked what he thought of the gear, Tim said, “The reel was blanking awesome! It was flawless, the cranking power and torque in the reel were incredible. When I took the fish back to the stern all the guys were expressing their amazement about my fishing skill by catching a big one right in the middle of all the 20 to 25-pounders they were catching. But you and I know it was just luck, right?”

PUERTO VALLARTA: Tuna fishing onboard the Marla with Capt. Danny Osuna was good although he did have to run 40 miles offshore to El Banco to get them. The weather was a little sloppy in the mornings with northwest with 2- and 3-foot swells but there was no wind.

“We headed out to El Banco looking for same tuna action. We had our bait tank loaded with live caballito, and we had all our Accurate reels ready to scream,” Osuna of Marla Sport-fishing said. Arriving at El Banco around 9 a.m. they immediately started seeing a lot of big explosions on the horizon.

“Everywhere we looked there were tuna from 150 pounds up to 200 pounds, chasing and feeding on a wide open bullet-sized tuna bite. We dropped some live cabbies and it didn’t take very long for us to start hearing the BX2 30 Accurate reels start to scream and get hooked up. We had the opportunity to land 2 really nice fish from 150 pounds to 160 pounds before the bite was gone,” he said. The bite has been early in the morning towards the end of the week.

“The inshore fishing is still great also; some of the locals are catching, big roosterfish, amberjacks, pargo and some other small game fish.”
