I was able to connect this time after sticking to the game plan. SW wind was a pain in the ass and bait was not cooperating. Decided to quit messing around trying to catch bait and went out to a few spots I like to key in on. Found some interesting-looking marks and dropped the 6x down with an instant bend in 220 feet of water. Almost forgot how fun these things fight from the Yak. We are truly blessed to have these fish off our coast.

Congrats on the nice Yellowtail. Went out today and it was not at all like on Monday. At least today I made a few Spanish macs, but never used them. Today there was no bird action and searching all areas shallow and deep didn't produce any great marks on the FF. Even the deep water 200'-300' rock fish spots wouldn't produce today using irons. Caught and released a couple white fish, just because 2 wasn't enough to bring home, so I kept then in the live well and when several spots in the same are did not produce more, I released then in their original spot. Trolled many miles and dropped iron so many times my wrist is sore from all the reeling. The sun never came out and it was cooler and the water temp was 2 degrees colder than Monday.
