You should ask your friend for more information, and add to your post. Since you wanted to share, and people sometimes listen, it's good to know other tidbits, like were they fishing San Clemente Island where yellows that size are caught regularly or were they offshore after tuna and dorado? Did they hit the right kelp paddy that had yellows under it, but no dodos or tuna? Were other smaller than 30lb yellows caught?
Anyway, just thought I'd add that so you can be even more helpful to others who may want to go out of Newport on a boat trip. Aaron

They were fishin Catalina
Had about 15 or so yellows 5 were over 30lbs Had over 70 anglers Mostly caught bonito Don't know what area Doubt he knows either Doesn't fish much but he gettin into it So his report to me didn't have much detail Believe me I asked him all I could All he could really tell me was 5 were 30 pounders And that they used sardines I looked most of it up on their website Anyway I'll be on the Gailforce on Sunday Hittin either Catalina or Clemente I'll put up another report This time from my actual perspective So there should be more detail Well Hopefully I have something good to report Can't wait |

Good luck to you sir, catch a bunch. But you might see why I asked for second hand further details. One could come up with many scenarios with your first report.

Well here's a scenario he ran into
He is fishing an 8000 sized spinner with 30lb fluoro Fly lining a sardine He hooks up Reel starts screaming Rod is bent over He says he was fighting for like ten minutes Said he had about half his line left Would get a little line back But fish would keep takin off He is freakin out cuz its biggest he has ever hooked Deck hand comes over and takes the rod Fish takes him on a ride around the boat Deckhand looks at friend and says he should cut his line Now What would you do |

1 )Button down the drag and get that fish UP. OR break it off & grab a heavier set up. Grab a beer too. 2) Fish from own boat or kayak and NOT have to deal with party boat peeps. Prolly drink a cold beer too. 3) Go straight to the galley and buy everyone on the boat a beer because you probably just lost the jackpot fish cuz your spinner wasn't made for the job . 4) Toss that spinner overboard, get yourself a beer or three. 5) Fish ON... Doesn't matter as long as you have a cold beer. |

sounds like the freelance. 95% east side of catalina around the can dumps. fly line dines work well, and squid is always a plus if you can get it. alot of 2-5# rats (good size compared to the cookie cutters found at PV and redondo right now). a few monster moss backs.

I think he shoulda fought it
At least till he broke off or spooled Think the spinner woulda held up though Just needed some time and coaching Thinkin deck hand didn't wanna or didn't know how to deal with it Same deck hand that tied him a shitty knot Lost a fish earlier in the day to it He chose to cut the line Chose to listen to that expert I've been givin him a hard time bout it Got him to jump on gailforce with me on Sunday We see if we can get that fish in the boat this time |

Well got home
Trip was cool Circled Catalina Hit a few spots captain felt there would be a bite Ran into mostly bonita bass and small yellows Weather nice and sunny Sea a little choppy No idea bout water temp or current Every spot produced Just not the 30 pounders I was up all night thinkin bout Bonita put up the best fight Barely legal bass just came in easy without much fight So I released em all without a fight too No need to measure Just sent em back on their way for the rest of you to catch Got skunked on the yellows But a few made it into the boat Don't know the fish count But it was a decent little harvest Got some fillets seasoned and lightly floured Fresh off the stove Gonna tear into em with the fam and call it a night Sorry I don't have the energy right now for details I'll answer what I can if you care to ask Have a good one everybody |

Nice! Good to know. I went the last week of July and the yellows were finicky. Some were landed, but they only touched live bait on 15-20lb flouro with#2- 1/0 hooks. My bait just kept getting raped by Bonito. We caught about 150 bones and 30 yellows for 50 anglers. I got sick of getting baits shredded by Bonito, so I threw in an anchovy megabait, hooked 6, farmed 3 trying to throw them over the rail. No yellows over 5lbs. We only fished the front side of Catalina. Still fun though

Either............. the fish will give up the angler will give up the line will snap the angler will get spooled I would much rather take a chance on one of those four things happening than to just give up.

Absolutely! This one dude got 2 on the coltsnipers, and that's when I said f*** using bait, and then hooked up on 6 that first stop on the megabait. I was using a 1oz, so it's about the same size as a coltsniper (for about half the price).
