When we arrived at Alijos we spent a few hours looking around for one wahoo and some visual sign of 40-70 pound tuna up in the shallows. Once we put the anchor down it took a while but late afternoon into evening was very good fishing on a variety of Yellowfin tuna, Dorado and yellowtail, it was very good action to get the trip started. After dinner we filled one bait tank with live squid and one bait tank with perfect Spanish and scad mackerel to keep our bait supply complete. At nine o'clock we began catching a bait and using a bait for yellowtail and we had very steady nighttime yellowtail fishing for those people who opted to stay awake and fish, all in all a very nice start to the trip. The wind is up right now and that coupled with the fact we have good action on nice grade fish and a fair sign of the 40-70 pound tuna made our decision to stay put for at least another day fairly easy. We will weigh our option's at the end of the day Saturday and make our moves accordingly, as long as this weather is up the way it is right now being hunkered down on the anchor scratching away at multiple species feels like a very wise decision. We look forward to another good day of fishing while we wait for the wind to back off, good working and looking weather will open up a multitude of different fishing options for later in the trip. Wish us luck and we will keep you all updated on the progress of our trip.
