I normally come in July from Arizona. First year was 2015 or 2016. You would see guys come in with multiple yellowtail and drool. I even caught a few the first few years. My kid caught 5 or 6 rat ones first time we went out in tandem. Circling the half-day boat was a bonanza. Seems likes it faded last few years. This year I got out there and kelp was gone at North end. Some floating salad, but no kelp strands at surface that I could see. Used to be a carpet sometimes. Seems really hit and miss now and mostly calicos. Not sure what?s driving it but seems like fishery has taken major turn for the worse. Looked online and various explanations, none with much hope for a turnaround anytime soon. Miss the good old days!!!
