Hey anglers: We are having a great time with the Cedros Island yellowtail! We are landing fish in the 20-40# range on yo yo jigs and blue/whites, on 60# test. A few fish came aboard on a fly-lined sardine. Other fish were caught on surface jigs and dropper loops on the bottom. One highlight came for Chef Randy “Lurch” Fickes (on his birthday) when he caught a 45# halibut. He’ll be cooking that up for the trip’s end dinner tomorrow night. Also, John Avitia from Kingman, Arizona, caught a 35# white sea bass on a sardine! Gotta get back on deck, Capt Art
Hey anglers: Our early morning report from Alijos Rocks is about the yellowtail! We have 12 aboard from the outer banks here and they are 25-35#. We are heading back to the Rocks area and will fish til noon. Then we’ll head to Cedros Island where other boats have had some fantastic yellowtail fishing. More later in the day. Capt Art
