We could see Tortuga in the distance, and for some reason I kept checking to see how much beer I had brought.

Nice report, very cool on the yellows. Man that drive is something else! Don't you think baja yellows pull harder than So. Cal yellows? I too was in Baja,on the pacific side, during the LJ uprising so I missed the whole week of it! Oh well, I at least got some wide open yellows off the Thetis bank using irons. The first day I got rocked by the bigger ones,however the boat did pull in a couple of forty lbers. The second day they were'nt as big. I'm going to the Sea of Cortes in a couple of weeks to fish the yellows off Loreto and points further north, when I do be sure to fish LJ cause I'm sure it will be going off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for Cortez Yt pulling harder. I'd have to agree. My theory is that they have to swim harder currents. Their shoulders are a bit wider - sort of like the YT at the Farnsworth bank.

Good luck on the trip. I know people that fish the Thetis out of La Bocana. Crazy in a skiff.

I believe your timing for large YT in Loreto could not be better. LJ will be here when you get back

I thought your quote "shoulders are a bit wider" was going to conclude with "... just like Trout's!" he he he

I miss Baja.

Be back from Oahua to visit SD in March for 6 days... I'd love to get OTW for one of them. Crappy time to visit, but maybe find a weather window and a lucky WSB.

YAH! damn that was fun. March has some possibilities.

Awesome trip! I'd like to get a little further south on the Pacific side soon. Never fished further south than San Quintin.

I'm glad to hear other people feel the same. Cortez yellows are noticeably tougher. My friends and I debate whether it's because of the competition for food, warmer waters, or strong currents.

No doubt about it. When I did the San Francisquito trip with Art, Neil, Bill, John and Colin... it was a mutual agreement across the board that the YT were the gnarliest fighters ever. We were getting spooled and busted off in the rocks by 25# fish, that would've been 10-minute fights to the gaff in LJ. And if you almost got sucked out to sea in that current like we did... you'd know why those YT shoulders were so wide! No joke... that was heavy just trying to get back in.

Looks like fun!

Ha!


Nice report guys. Looks like a blast, except for the eye thing. Sorry Art.

WTG on the yellows.

FREAKING MORON KAYAKERS, LEAVE SOME YELLOWS IN THE OCEAN FOR CHRIST SAKE. Just having fun, sounds like a good trip, hope the eye thing works out Art. Thanks for sharing. Dave

Funny, I think Francisco was thinking the same thing, though unlike the last panguero he was too nice to say it. But I could see the thoughts going through his head "Loco gringos, jumping out of a perfectly good boat to paddle around on a piece of plastic". He may have a point.
