Last Week Results - Longrange from San Diego

Here's my not so subtle brag thread....

Took a week off to go on a long range trip (something I've done for the last 7 years). The trip always leaves out of Point Loma and heads south along the baja peninsula. We usually hit the offshore tuna grounds first then head inland for some yellotail, halibut, calico bass, white seabass fishing.



This year we had a stop in the offshore grounds and picked up a few tuna but the weather was pretty bad. We headed toward Cedros island and got into the yellowtail pretty thick. Most of the YT were in the 25-40 lb range. These cousins to the AJ will try their best to pull your arm off. And they are excellent for sashimi, fish tacos or just grilled. We also had a visit from some Mexican lobster fishermen. We gave them a few cokes and sent them on their way.

On the way back we got into a yellowfin tuna bite like I've never seen before and may likely never see again. They were swarming right under the boat, picking up bait as soon as it hit the water, hittin homemade "lures" made from shite from the trashcan. The captains even got out the jack poles and caught about a dozen before they were worn out.

And to top things off we eat like champions.


Last one...stuck my camera down into the bait tray and got a pretty cool pick of a sardine looking in.
