Joe Crisci docked the Qualifier 105 early Saturday morning, June 6 after an eight-day Big Hammer trip with 15 skiff and kayak anglers. They found very good fishing for bass and yellowtail at the South End of Cedros Island.

There was no jackpot on the trip. Brad Schnair of LA, owner of High Tide Sportfishing, posed with a 33-pound yellowtail he got on one of his new jigs in what he called "bacon and Eggs" color.

Schnair said it was a five-minute fish. He used 30-pound Izorline XXX line on a 338 Newell reel and a Calstar 90 J rod.

"We had excellent fishing at Cedros," he said. "The water was light green and 62 degrees."
