It was a 7 day limited load trip to Alijos Rocks that went late august 2006 on the Red Rooster 3.It was a good year for me and with the real estate boom going I did a lot of side work to pay for the $2400 trip.I went with my Dad(Hawk) on his suggestion because I wanted to do a 5 day to Guadalupe(Glad I didnt)There are only a few boats that go that far south at that time of year since its still hurricane season(Polaris supreme 9day and Royal polaris 8 day)We went straight to the rocks at 14kts and fished there for 3 straight days.I brought a case of monster drinks and probably only slept 8hrs in those 3 days.I was a madman with more railtime than anybody.It is an amazing place to fish.These rock pinnacles rise from 12000 ft to about 150' above the surface,its also known as Neptunes castle.It is 500 miles south of SD and 160miles off the mainland.The fishing was insane.I caught my first Wahoo followed by another and lost a few.These are insane fish to catch their speed is unbelievable.I also got a limit of YFT and YT and released tons of yellows.My arms were sore.I also got a dorado and a huge sheephead.Lost a huge tuna to sharks(probably over 100#)Jackpot tuna was 120# but I didnt get one over 80#.Anyways it was awesome.We fished Natividad and Cedros on the way home for more yellows so the guys that slept at alijos got their limits too but on a much smaller grade.
You cant talk about record YT without talking about Alijos.All the record YT are from there.The Australian and New zealand YT are slightly different genetically and Zane Grey still held the record at 111# as far as I knew.Its like an atlantic bluefin to our bluefin sort of thing just not on the same scale.Anyways that spearos YT is a toad. I still seek my first Kayak YT...
