Art Taylor brought his Searcher home to Fisherman’s Landing September 16 after a five-day Let’s Talk Hookup charter to Cedros Island.
In his last report at sea on September 15, Art wrote, “Today we finished our trip with a little action on decent size yellowtail of 12 to 22 pounds. Most of the fish were caught on flyline sardines, with a few fish caught on yo-yo jigs, blue and white.
We only had a couple of hours to fish and we managed to land 44 fish. The weather today was great–clear skies and calm seas. We are headed home with a great catch of fish and we will be at the dock around 8:30am.”
Doug Nance of San Diego won first place for a 35.8-pound yellowtail. He was tied by Wade Wells of Camarillo, who had an identical fish. Hans Giesholt of Tempe, AZ won third place for a 33.8-pound yellowtail.
