Yeah, good to keep up the faith. However the last (really) good year for YT was 2017. Since then the inshore waters have seen less and less. To the point of relying practically on homeguards only...
Offshore is different story.

The later part of 2019 I caught and released 4 Yellowtail in the 22lb to 26lb range. Then hooked a couple larger ones early 2020 on the Rapala trolling but ended with them coming unhooked during the fight. I have not had as good results using lures with treble hooks as I have using Flat Falls with Assist Hooks.

Nice Yellowtail. We are suffering the same dilemma in Florida -- Beaches and Boat ramps closed. Many inshore areas are getting hit more frequently. For the offshore angler, it has become an arduous peddle that needs to be timed with the tides to go in or out of an inlet.
