How about ceviche? Ceviche by Lambchop Ingredients: -1 large container fresh refrigerated salsa, garlic-flavored is my favorite -Fish, chopped into 3/4-inch pieces (Enough to fill a second container, about the same size as the salsa container.) Almost any kind of fish will work, though I prefer yellowtail, wahoo, dorado, or white sea bass. I do not suggest using tuna. -1 quart lemon juice -3/4 red onion, chopped -3 jalapenos, chopped -3 medium tomatoes, semi-firm, diced -1 bunch cilantro, chopped, reserve 1/4 of this for garnish Add lemon juice to the container with fish. Seal tightly and refrigerate for 24 hours. The next day, empty the salsa into a larger bowl. Add onion, jalapenos, tomatoes and cilantro (except for garnish) on top of salsa. Mix gently. Drain the lemon juice out of the fish container very lightly. Do not press the fish to squeeze out all the lemon juice. The remaining juice will bring out the taste. Add fish to the bowl of salsa and chopped veggies. Stir gently to mix. Put in a serving container and sprinkle 1/4 of chopped cilantro on top.

Hello anglers, Today we tried a few different spots around San Martin since everyone got enough yellowtail. Not much action on yellowtail, but we picked up one 25 pound halibut. We travelled north and tried a spot for some rockfish and had OK fishing for red rockcod and ling cod. Everyone had a great time and Dick Uranga did his usual give aways. The ocean is calm with no wind and very little seas so we should have a great ride north tonight. Capt Art

Capt Art took anglers to San Martin island this morning for some yellowtail action. He was reporting a few fish on deck and a few hooked up. He had to rush off the phone in mid-report when a big school of yellows appeared on his sonar screen! Full report later.

Hello anglers, We are on the first day of our annual Capt Potatohead charter with Dick Uranga and company. What a morning we have had! Excellent yellowtail fishing here at Isla San Martin. The fish are in the 12-30 pound class and the primary method has been flyline a live sardine. There have been a few fish landed on yo-yo iron as well. We’re having lots of fun as usual with this group, and Dick is on the receiving end of most of it. We couldn’t ask for any better fishing and so we hope this continues the rest of the day. Not sure what we can do for an encore, but I’m sure we can come up with something. More later, Capt Art

Hello anglers, The yellowtail continued to bite after lunch but tapered off around 3 pm. Wow–What a day we had! I can’t remember a day of such excellent yellowtail fishing like this here in a really long time. We are going to look for some halibut, maybe a white sea bass, and we may try for some red rock cod later today. The weather is better so it should be a nice ocean to work in today. More later, Capt Art
