Initially I was going to do an overnighter out to Santa Rosa Island; however, on Friday evening we opted to take a run out to San Clemente Island to try for some Yellowtail and other critters. The crossing on Saturday morning from Long Beach was pretty much smooth cruising. I invited Jason “jscrib� and Kevin “Mars� to fish with me aboard my 23ft Seaswirl Striper “Big Drum�

Our main goal was to catch some Yellowtail Jacks. We fished west of the fleet off of Pyramid Head and it didn’t take long for Jason to go Bendo on a nice Tail.

Here is Jason with his 17lb Yellowtail. He caught it yo-yoing an iron in 200 feet of water.

About an hour later, Kevin hooked a 19 pounder. Yeh buddy!

After a couple more hours of yo-yoing without any more luck on the Yellowtails, we decided to make a move to catch some other critters.

Here is Jason with a 25 inch Lingcod.

Jesus H. Calico!

You have enough variety there to start a saltwater aquarium!

I haven't seen a halfmoon that large nor have I heard of a white fish being caught on iron.

Is there something wrong with your camera? All of them fish are giant. J/K

I am hoping to hit Clemente too someday...

Your buddy holding the halibut in pic#3 sort looks like Kevin Costner.

Great report and pictures as usual.

What were the ratings (line weight, action, length, etc.) on the rod Jason was using for the yellowtail? im planning about using a 12-25lb rating medium action rod for yellows but i dont want to break it lol
