Thread: 1/2 day yellow

  1. #1

    Default 1/2 day yellow

    Decided to go out on a 1/2 day today despite the fact it was a Sunday and Memorial Day weekend, but had an expiring groupon. Wasn't really looking forward to the crowds but somehow it wasn't too bad. Got one of the nice grade fish going off locally. Was a little thin Ihe belly but pretty long at about 41" from tip of tail to nose. Yo yo iron fish, 6x Jr, dorado. My best yellow this season...weighed 22 lb. gilled and gutted. All fish brought board looked to be 20 lb. plus

    Sou Cal, pierpoint. Am run has been better than pm.. Hats off to the captain and crew...got me out of a multiple tangle with one loose line and another guy with a fish. Then somehow another loose line got on my fish and some guy was pulling on it from the other side so the deckhand went to the other side of the boat and put a stop to that. Kudos to the crew and P-line CXX...good to have a good deckhands and good line when playing half day cats cradle.

    Yeah, saw that, fish on in the bow, and in the stern...
    i wanted to cast my jig out but thought I might get tangled with your fish. Good quality fish....like Cedros coming to your back yard...

    Yeah, its always nice to get a surprise when you have low expectations. Still it just goes to show you it pays to be prepared and take a 40 lb jig outfit even on a 1/2 day because its the ocean and you never know what you will run in to out there. I think if i was fishing just 20 or even 30 with the amount of tangles i experienced on just that 1 hookup, i would've busted off.
