That nice ive been watching the counts and theyve been crazy good. People get limits of yft, yt, some dorado, som bft, albacore on occasion, some pig calicos. Im gonna head out on one soon can you tell me what lb test rods you were using?

light 20-30 floro unless wide open then you can go heavier...1/0 or 2/0 hook to match the bait size..

I went 3 weeks ago. Weather sucked that day. As the deckhands told me i went on the worst day of the whole year.... but other than the day i went the fishing is sick right now! Wish i could go again but the bank says otherwise.

I made it out last week on the Dolphin III out of Point Loma. Same basic set up, couple rods, 30lb line and 3/o hooks, but the dines were a nice size. As was said, wide open Yellowfin! As for smallish, in the 10lb range, I have something to say about that ...

Went out last week on the Pacific Queen and used one 30 and one 40lb set up with Mustad 2/0 hooks. And I killed it with limits of BFT,YFT averaging 30lbs and YT.
