“We have not fished since last Monday because of the week long nor’easter,” reported Capt. Alan Lee of Mushin Sportfishing. He told us the boat withstood the winds, the rains and abnormal high tides and he is looking forward to getting back on the ocean for both inshore and offshore fishing as soon as the seas and weather settle down.

Capt. George and mate Jon aboard Mushin Sportfishing had Jim J. & Friends out to the local canyons where they enjoyed stellar trolling action with mixed size yellowfin and bigeye close to 200 pounds. The former were smashing black/purple Sterling Tackle wide trackers on a 6.5-knot pull, with a 6.2-knot clip for Shimano Ledge Runners the poke for the eyeballs. Capt. Alan Lee offered that the upcoming week-plus offshore blow will put a serious crimp in any fishing, but October should be outstanding as conditions moderate and the tuna settle in.

Capt. Alan of Mushin Sportfishing said Capt. George and Mate Jon had Jim J. and guests offshore on a mid-September trip, where they found some exceptional quality. The crew put a couple of jumbo bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna well over 100 pounds over the rails. These were some seriously beastly fish, but the anglers handled them like pros. The Shimano Ledge Runner 200, a hard-body, adjustable, deep-diving plug, has been an ace in the hole for the crew throughout the tuna season.

Mushin Sportfishing’s name originates from an expression consisting of keeping an open mind and being able to adapt to evolving conditions and situations; it is a constant state of relaxed readiness. This is the overall team mentality and philosophy at Mushin Sportfishing. Their crew of easygoing professionals pride themselves on remaining open to all circumstances and working on the fly to put both novice and professional anglers alike on their fish of a lifetime. Their boat, the Mushin, stands tall with an expansive fly bridge and custom tower which allows the crew to scan the water for fish activity and record heated action in the cockpit as it ensues from overhead. The vessel is equipped with state of the art Furuno Navnet 3D multifunction fishfinding and navigational systems at the helm and cockpit which provides a serious edge on every trip. The interior of the Mushin is nothing to snub at either. She has a spacious, climate controlled salon complete with Sirius satellite radio, a TV, DVD player, VCR and Direct TV satellite programming. Additional amenities include a large, peninsula-style galley with a full refrigeratorfreezer, two air conditioned staterooms and a large, clean head.
