Hello anglers: Today was a great day of fishing! The yellowtail were biting throughout the morning and into early afternoon. Everyone had a chance to catch plenty of yellows. The method of choice was a dropper loop set-up with 50-80 pound test, a 4/0 – 6/0 J hook, and a 16 oz torpedo sinker, all with a live sardine and down to the bottom. There were a few fish caught with the yo-yo method, a 6x jr blue and white as usual, with 40-60 pound test line. We all had a really good time today with lots of laughs and comraderie at the rail with all our friends from Strictly Fish in Lakewood. We deserved to have a good day after paying some dues offshore the two days prior. We are travelling north tonight to get closer to home and have more fishing time on Thursday with hopefully a chance at some bluefin tuna. Team Searcher
