Thunderbird Overnight to San Clemente Island for Yellowtail

Спорт

It had been six years since my father and I had ridden a sport boat or fished with live bait (ever since we got our skiff). The crossing was smooth and easy, and the fish were biting!

    Great vid. Nice to see a guy fishing with his pops and scoring quality yellowtail in the lee of SCI, one of my favorite places on the planet. Cheers!

    Thanks, it felt good to get back out again. I hadn’t ridden a sport boat in six or seven years.

    Hey man awesome catch I have a quick question when you throw live bait do you let it sit or do you slowly reel it back

    Most of the time I am “fly lining” a sardine, anchovy, or mackerel, I get bit in the first 30 seconds. Cast out, and let the bait pull line as it swims away. The faster it swims, the more likely you are going to get bit. When the bait stops swimming, reel it in and get another bait. Some people will reel the bait in slowly, but I’ve found bites on the retrieve to be rare.

    Great content! !!!! Those yellowtail looks fun to catch. What was your set up? Rod,reel, and rig?

    Two different rigs, just because I felt like messing around. The first two came back to back on a Trinidad 16A with #30 Izorline on a Calstar 800M rod. The next two were with a Trinidad 12A loaded with #50 braid and a Calstar 800XLH rod. I used #30 Seaguar Gold fluorocarbon on both.

    The rig was as simple as it gets- a #1 hook and a sardine, what we call “fly-lined” on the west coast.

    Two set ups. I caught the first two on a Trinidad 16/ Calstar 800 M / #30 Izorline XXX (90 yards). 3’ Seagar #30 fluorocarbon to a 1/0 ringed Owner Gorilla hook. When the bite became mostly bass, I went to a Trinidad 12 / Calstar 800 XLH, with no top shot and the same fluorocarbon and hook.

    No, just a regular capacity. I forget how many passengers were on this trip, but I do remember this was a weekend open party trip.

    On west coast sport boats, the captain will make an announcement on the PA to “wind ‘em up” before making a move. Sometimes passengers ignore this and keep fishing, and inevitably some passengers will hookup on a fish or the bottom when the boat is pulling away.

    When these guys start cramming in to a small area of the boat it s not fun anymore.

    Agreed, sometimes it’s where everyone ends up with the current drifting baits toward the stern when you were anchored.
