Put The Hammer Down

"Bad hammerheads during the first couple of days we spent at Alijos Rocks," said Royal Polaris skipper Billy Santiago Jr. October 7 at Fisherman's Landing. "We got some tuna, and they got more. So we went inside and got very good wahoo and dorado fishing on kelps.

"Then we went back to Alijos for two good days on bigger tuna. This time there were no sharks around. We also got some wahoo on the anchor. We finished up on the beach with some great yellowtail fishing and ended our trip with limits of tuna and yellowtail."

Billy's trip was sponsored by Yo's Tackle and lasted 11 days, with 31 passengers.

Chuck Kemnitz of Nevado won first and third places for tuna of 118 and 99 pounds. He got the big one with a pink Tady 9/0 jig on 50-pound Izorline, a Newell 533 reel and an eight-foot Super Seeker rod. Skipper Santiago helped him out in the lineup shot with the third-place fish.

Bruce Coblentz of Corvallis, OR used a sardine on the dropper loop to take the second-place tuna, a 116-pounder. He also caught a 53-pound yellowtail "?Ķon a sardine and the dropper loop at midnight."
