Hello anglers,

We moved up the coast last night to try another yellowtail spot. We had some action on good-size yellowtail for a few hours, before we had to head home. Even the crew got involved. Chef Dan used one of our Hook and Hand outfits to hook a fish and hand it off to Chef Charley Erichsen. Charley has prepared many yellowtail dishes (including on Searcher, see below), but this was his first time catching one!
The weather is awesome so we are going to have a great ride home. Thanks to Norm Fujimoto and Steve Ichinokuchi from Izorline for all the goodies on this trip. Several people filled their reels with new line. It is always a pleasure to have Norm and his sons (this year JK joined him) on board and we look forward to having him back next year.

Our “Sportsman Award” for the trip goes to Ted Okon from Santa Clarita. Ted is great to fish with and he gets the job done too!
We ended the trip with a phenomenal dinner tonight. Not only do our chefs catch the fish but they know how to cook it as well. The yellowtail was grilled with a lime cilantro butter sauce, served with roasted squash and a red pepper risotto.
