I'll bite. I did a 5 day on the excel and did great on blue fin...on day 3. Not trying to burst your bubble but waters not quite warm enough for dodo's this far north. We had 2 fluke hook ups on them. And the blue fin is still too far south for a 1 1/2. I suggest saving up some coin and hitting a 3+ day in Aug-Sept time frame. Meanwhile stay active on the reports from all local landings. You might do well on the YT but most of these short charters have alot of cut throat fisherman not as cordial as you or I, I wanted to beat old mens face in when I saw how rude and greedy they were. Picture this.... 55-60 dudes, 3 rows deep....everyone of them on the stern! WTF?!?! That was a 3/4 day at the Coronados.... A good yellowtail boat not targeting the islands will cruise and paddy hop and IMO is more fun. I'll do a LR trip with you next summer if your around. I punch out this weekend.

Tight lines boss,
