We finally had a chance to do a little fishing from a stopped boat yesterday enjoying a fine afternoon of scratch angling on nice grade yellowtail. The pace was far from hot and heavy but steady with what seemed to be at least one or to fish hooked all the time. The morning was a different story with lots of moving and drifting mainly necessary to stay ahead of the ferocious pack of local mammals that have rained on our parade on so many occasions this season. As it turned out, the day was a success and we headed up at dark joining the rest of our friends offshore in the continuing offshore pursuit.
