Now as far as a 3/4 day guarantee....nothing is guaranteed....! But...if you have to catch one now...it might be your best bet. Honestly I rather catch one yellowtail on my kayak then multiple yellows on a sportboat.[/QUOTE]

Preach kind sir!!!! One yellow on the yak was better than 7 yellows on a 3/4 day boat for me. On the yak, it's you versus the elements. Catch your own bait, find your own fish, land (gaff) your own fish. Do that and you will feel accomplished. Or you could pay to have your fish filleted.

Data and statistics.....
$145.00 day boat, free bait, no paddling, but.....what does $145.00 buy in the tackle store?

If you are a kayak-fisherman, than you really only have one answer.

Going to have agree about the yak. I slayed yellows all summer on the sport boats. It was fun and put some meat in the freezer, but it was no where near as rewarding as that YT from the kayak. Not to mention it was bigger than what you typically see on the cattle boats.

Just for the record, I went to LJ and caught one barely legal calico (which I released).

The San Diego 3/4 day had limits (5) of yellowtail for all 51 anglers aboard that day.

I agree that one yellowtail in the yak would probably be worth 5 from the cattle boat, but the slim chance of one from the yak isn't always.

I'll keep fishing and learning at LJ, but I'll keep my eyes on the landing reports, too.

They were all rats.
A word of advice.....
While the sport boats may exaggerate their counts during a bite to get more business on board, kayakers have a tendency to stay quite.
So paddle out there and throw a big YT across your lap and look over at everyone shoulder to shoulder on the cattle boat and decide where you want to be.
