    The Helena out of Dana is the boat you want. 12 people only and he likes to go offshore.

    How Much ?

    WERE TALKING HARBOR FISHING HERE TUCKER. Anybody can catch a tuna on a boat offshore. They used to catch Tuna off the Redondo pier, back in the day.

    To catch a Tuna in Dana would raise the bar very high.

    Hope some FNNer tries this, how about a Luckcraft ?
    Get your float tube, yak, skiff and get on this. 20 - 30lb + test min. It would really suck to lose a catch of a lifetime
    on small gear. Slow trolling a couple sardines would be the ticket. Try every basin. If these fish left they could be back. I've caught
    Bonito in King Harbor with fresh squid in the stomach and that was when the squid were off El Segundo a few miles away.

    CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO !

    The word on the street is that the Yellowtail are off Rocky Point.
    Check the count tonight for the Redondo, MDR boats.
    Some of the 3/4 day boats have been running to the 150/Shoe. If the Redondo Special 1/2 day shows YT's
    then the fish may be at Rocky Pt. Redondo bait barge has been closed much of the time so call Redondo Sportfishing first and ask about the bait.

    Good Luck, DR

    I already called them, they have sardines for bait today. They had live squid over the weekend. The size of the Yellowtail are #4-30 lbs. The Indian today was fishing off of Vicente all by himself. The Mad house is continuing at the 150 spot, so that's where I'm headed next!!!

    Pt Vicente is in the MLPA no fishing zone. They must have been 3 miles + off the point.

    Man, this is cool....It reminds me of when I caught a tank yellowtail in King Harbor off of the Pier in 1985. I was 13 and thought I was a GOD
