July 19 Mid-morning report
Howdy anglers, this morning has been slow on the yellowfin we got a few but we found a couple kelps with some yellowtail. We have a few more hours to fish before we call it a trip and head for home. The ocean is very calm with little wind and no swell, so we’re liking that.
Here’s a nice yellow caught by Ron Servis from Escondido, CA, with Capt Joe at the assist.
And a tackle tip: Using a small sinker (1/4 ounce) with a sardine does nothing but make the bait swim funny and look unnatural.
Good angling and hope to see ya on the water,
Capt Aaron and Searcher crew
