We had a very very good day today. Stoked. We got in the water we were looking for around nine this morning and it wasn't an hour before we found our first school. We plunked away for a couple hours and when things slowed down, we got the call from our buddy Brian on the American Angler who was drifting a mile or so upswell of us and he was on the boomer school so we went over and gave him a hand. About an hour later another boat showed up and we took a break. I sent everyone in for lunch while myself and the crew got the deck under control and fired up another fish hold. After lunch we went on the hunt again and found another deal, and then another but by that time most of the anglers were now spectators. An hour before dark we found another good school and we may have had 5 or 6 people fishing all with a bent rod. That's what we call a very very good day.
We're off to Cedros Island. We'll be there prior to daylight and we hope for some good yellowtail action for the next couple of days.
Our hunt for mahi mahi was rudely interrupted by big schools of 10-30 lb yellowfin tuna. 107 yellowfin, 23 skipjack. 20-30 lb and size 2 hook was the hot setup. Few fish on colt snipers as well !
