May WSB and April Yellowtail

Having targeted and caught a pair of halibut and yellowtail in the last couple of months, I decided it was time for a croaker. I haven’t been out much this year because of work, maybe once every 3 or 4 weeks, but I’ve had pretty good success. It turns out, this past Monday was no different. Couple of hours after I got settled in, I have another trophy on board. Here’s a cheesy back-yard shot.




Oh yeah, here is a video from my previous outing in April. These are my first and second yellowtail using a jigstick, thanks to Josh. I might as well be blind – I’m nearsighted in one eye, far sighted in the other without any depth perception, so I couldn’t see the school of fish that was practically in front of me until it was pointed out to me. He can teach a blind and deaf to fish. About a minute after hooking up, I got into a tug of war with a seal. I had to yank the yellowtail out of the seal’s mouth then reel like crazy and bounce it as the seal was chasing it.
