• first block – Sea Adventure II (70 footer) ( new boat, all the perks including hot showers, galley,fresh water, etc ) - 28 spots
• second block – The Jigstrike (60 footer) ( host of the 2009 tournament, includes hot showers, galley, fresh water etc ) – 18 spots.

2011 Tournament update: I've had a really good response to the first RFP (request for participants). As of now, we have 26 spots verbally accounted for and we are just 3 weeks into the planning for 2011 in San Diego. I will be limiting the first boat to less then 30 people, most likely 28. If the first boat is filled soon enough, I will look at reserving the Sea Adventure sport fishing's second fishing boat the Jigstrike which we took out in 2009 for a 3/4 day event. We can put up to 20 on that one. Since we are going out a couple of weeks later in the year and further out, we should have some warmer water.

You can now place your deposit for the event online by going to our event registration page.

The 2011 BestFishingPlaces.com 3rd Annual fishing tournament will be held in San Diego. A repeat of the 2009 tournament but a later date and longer time out. In 2011, we will take the full day outer banks trip. Hopefully warmer water and distance will equal some larger yellowfin tuna and Dolphin fish or Dorado. I should have more information once this years tournament is on the books. Plan on Saturday August 6th in 2011. If you have interest in the 2011 BestFishingPlaces.com 3rd Annual fishing tournament please fill out the form on the contact us page for more information.

Well, the weather in Newport has not been the most cooperative. We've had nice skies and no rain, but wind, wind, wind. 15-20 knots making it difficult to get out to the Tuna today. Since most of the locals wanted Tuna, we had a limited boat for Rockfishing today. Looks like it's down to one day now for the tournament. We are scheduled to go out first thing tommorrow morning as the predictions are for better weather. Wish us luck.  For now, day 1 was a warm up. Blackies, Ling Cods, a quillback rockfish and a couple of sculpin. All but one Ling cod where to small and released. The Quillback was the largest of the day weighing in at 4 and a half pounds. Here are some pictures of the days fishing. check out the full set here.

We have two spots now available for Saturday and one spot open on Friday due to some cancellations. please contact yaquina bay charters directly to reserve your spot.
