Good yellowtail bite

13 anglers: 32 Yellowtail. Very good Bluefin Tuna and yellowtail sign in our zone the past few days, unfortunately we weren’t able to put enough on the boat to make soup Friday or Saturday. Today was a welcome change of pace and it was fun to bend a few rods.

 

We are taking tomorrow off to regroup but trips resume Tuesday and all throughout the rest of the week. 

 

Tackle recommendations:

(All are available to rent at H&M)

1. 30-40 pound flyline setup with size 1 and 2 circle hooks and fluorocarbon for Bluefin and 2/0 j-hooks for yellowtail. 

2. 50-60 pound setup for fishing sinker rigs and SK jigs. 6 to 8 ounce torpedo sinkers. Also a good idea to bring some Daiwa Zakana jigs or other shiny dart style jigs in the 100 to 150 gram size. 

3. Big Bluefin: 60-100lb outfit with a two speed reel to fish the sinker rig and 180-300 gram knife jigs. Not mandatory but you’ll wish you had it if the jumbos decide to play. 

 

Trips will be departing seven days a week at 5:30am from H&M Landing. 

 

Passports are NOT required. No fuel surcharges at this time. Free bunks available for all, please bring your own bedding. Return times may be later than expected.
