Hangin' yellowtail

The conventional half day boats did well yesterday, February 17, as the Daily Double AM run carrying 11 Anglers reported 3 Sculpin, 15 Rubberlip Seaperch and 2 Barred Sand Bass while the Premier 1/2 Day AM trip with 40 Anglers aboard returned with 265 Rockfish, 11 Sculpin, 1 Sheephead and 2 Lingcod in the sacks.

They're going to keep after those local yellows on the New Seaforth. Their 1/2 Day AM with 28 Anglers aboard did zero. Nada. Zilch. The afternoon was better. They took out 31 Anglers and got 1 Yellowtail and 1 Sculpin.

The yellows at Colonet are still biting good..as well as San Martin, about 150 miles south of San Diego. I want down to the Old Mill yesterday to scout around and get a little paddling in. Ran into some good folks, had a couple beers and told fishin' stories. Sure is nice to be in a tranquil spot. Here's a few shots from the San Quintin area.
