By the numbers the day passed in a relaxed fishing mode targeting abundant yellowtail and a few other coastal varieties. I can not report that the grade of yellowtail was anything to crow about, small fish in the 6-12 pound class were impossible to get away from, but the volume of these little devils we encountered instills plenty of faith in upcoming yellowtail seasons to be sure.

Jumbo spots of the aspiring mossbacks spread out for miles, at a couple of different islands, made for plenty of action but little in the hatch to show for it. Which was fine; we don't need anything in the way of quantity at this point in the voyage to bolster our egos. A few of the decent size fish were dedicated to the RSW for future consumption but most were liberated in favor of something better or nothing, as it should be.

Day's end found us in a calm, scenic anchorage enjoying a heck of a show on big yellows that were reluctant to climb on but entertaining as all get out. We nabbed a couple, watched the sunset, then set to the task of breaking down our gear, packing up, and heading for home. A good time was had by all through the final moments, as planned.

Photo today features Royal Star angler Marvin Yotsuya with one of his numerous "skin" he landed on the northern passage through Alijos. Marvin was on fire the first day in particular living right no matter what gear he was using. His skill and good fortune added up to a wealth of fine table fare to share with family and friends.

Slower than yesterday, but still good enough to add up, that is exactly what they did in the RSW tanks and why we took off. Though a floating quantity subject to a host of variables and perspectives it's safe to say that enough is enough. With what we captured on the front end heading south freezers will be loaded with ample...... Read More

01/20/15 Good "skinnin'" here today; steady strikes, steady fishing, and steady catching on the coveted speedsters.
