That's pretty cool that you hooked one. Getting them to bite has been the problem for most... Oh and then getting them up.

I am sure you will see the half day sport boat catching them if the tunas are this close and biting. I remembered catching YFT on 1/2 day boat out of newport last el nino.

With my age & back injury I'm no longer in any kind of condition to try, but if they get closer I'm currently doing some cycle training to get my heart/physical condition up to a decent level. I'm thinking it's only June and with the conditions this crazy it reminds me of the El Niño of '84-5 and if anyone is old enough to remember that was one for the record books (at least for the local boats)!
There were schooling

all over the Santa Monica Bay! A 10# bonito was a jr. 15#'ers were common. A run of albacore (avg. 35+# with some weighing up to 60#'s were running through the Catalina Channel in November). Half day boats from MDR, Redondo, 22nd St., Ports 'O' Call & Long Beach were trolling the channel until Christmas. It was an amazing year!

I'm praying that it gets that good!

Matt, let me know if you are going to do that again. I'd like to tag along and venture out. I have yet to catch a YFT. The adventure starts when shit goes wrong..but it's always better when you have company!
