July 26
Hey anglers, Today was one of those days that you hope to have on a 5-day trip–great weather, calm seas, sunny skies and good fishing. We had excellent fishing on those big yellowtail in the 25-40 pound range. Most of them caught on flyline sardine opn the surface. A few fish were caught on the surface iron. It is really exciting to have a few of those big fish chase your surface jig, boil on it and then eat that jig right in front of you. Matt Rohrs from Placentia had three yellows on five casts to start the day and he said we can go home now. That is what he came for! We elected to stay another day with the albies off the bite a little. There were not many yellowfin tuna caught by other boats today. We are going to try for some greenback mackerel tonight I’m sure those yellows will love them. More tomorrow, Capt Art
