Justin Fleck checked in with this report for the Excel. "We started our trip off yesterday afternoon down the beach. We had some Yellowtail action, not much. We had 24 or 25 fish. They ran 20 to 25 lbs.

"This morning we're down around the Islands. We're in an area with a lot of birds and a lot of bait. We got on a school early and they are biting. The hot ticket is the yo-yo irons, the Salas 6X junior in blue & white or the scrambled egg colors have been dominant. We'll give you an update later, we just hope these fish keep biting for awhile for a nice start to our trip."
