Well good evening all
I ran the boat this weekend and the fishing was really
good, you should have been there
Let’s start with Saturday we got off the dock and cleared
the point at 7:10. We arrived at the islands at 8:45.
Our first stop proved to be our best of the day. The
yellowtail blew up in the stern and there were two hook
ups and we got both of them. we repositioned the boat
and to our surprise the yellowtail followed and we pick
we pick some more…for our day managed 07 yellow tail
119 barracuda and 33 rock fish…..the barracuda fishing
was really god on Saturday. So I knew what I was going
to start on Sunday and it was not a bad day over all
on Sunday we started off where we left off on Saturday.
The fish were there and we immediately got rushed by
the skiffs talking about close quarters combat it was
funny, its part of the game. We looked around for the
barracuda but it seemed they drop off the face of the
earth so we went up to north island following another
three quarter day boat.. The yellow tail were up there
and we hook fifteen fish right off the bat, spinning
rods and 20-30 pound yellow tail don’t mix…. As you can
see from the counts we would hook a steady three to 4
fish and land 1-2 that really sucked but the anglers
were having a blast… we wound up with 18 yellow tail
and we went thru I would say 40-50 fish to get the 18
we got and the crew was working hard. We also manage
to capture 3 kelp bass and 1 sculpin.
Hey don’t get me wrong spinning gear is fine if that’s
what you want to use but be prepared. I would use nothing
less then 20-40 pound test line please leave your lake
trout rods at home. I believe our hook to land ratio
would have been better if our folks had been better prepared…
just some food for thought. With that being said today
Monday was much better we had 51 anglers and the day
started out were we left of Sunday and not to much happening.
Things started off slow we would see the yellow but it
look like they were reluctant to par take of what we
had to offer. Then all at once I look out the window
and see a school of fish blow up in the stern and it
disappeared I thought that was going to be our best shot
at them… I got up and then the whole boat went crazy
it was like a wave it started at the stern and went to
the bow. Next thing you know there are people scrambling
to get bait the folks that were hooked on the dropper
loops got there fish. Then it was gone, just that quick.
And we moved around looking for more. There where to
many skiffs. So we left that area and went in search
for something different and found some more yellow but
they weren’t that eager to bite. So we worked our way
in to the east and found what we were looking for.. We
wound up capturing for our day 8 rock fish three ling
cod 26 yellow tail and 34 barracuda… over all it was
a pretty good weekend for fishing…. If you have not done
