The sun was shining, the seas were calm, and the fish were biting upon our arrival keeping a nice steady a.m. pace that built into full speed action on 12 - 25# yellowtail by early afternoon. When the fish got on the many huge bait balls around us in the late afternoon the action and visuals could only be described as outrageous with the ravenous schools of yellows plowing through acres of bait churning the grease calm surface into a cauldron of boiling, aggressive game fish. Every bait, every jig, every everything anglers chose to use was a guaranteed bite as hordes of yellowtail swarmed around us; visible at almost all times both above and below the surface in the flat calm conditions and beautiful clear blue water. After a couple of hours of this type action, it became a novelty show as anglers were releasing ninety percent of their catch using single hook surface jigs, poppers, and anything else they could think of to improve the entertainment value of the surface strike. Following our epic day of long range yellowtail action, thankful for our good fortune in timing, we headed west with visions of trophy yellowfin tuna on our bow in gorgeous, flat calm conditions.
