A new dawn: grease calm, balmy, sun shining, and yellowtail up and biting. A good four hours of "grudge fishing" assauged all the angst and worry of returning fishless, defeated, fool hardy; fortune finally favored our strategy. No Magellan worthy accolades or assignations this time though, this zone is well known for such production when conditions call; we've all caught plenty here before.
Even so one never takes such fishing for granted; it's never just run of the mill. These quality yellows in sizes ranging from 15 to 30 pounds put on a show worthy of the moniker "long range"; everything about this setting fell right in line. An incredible scenic backdrop, a greasy sea surface revealing spots of frantic birds and yellowtail up at times for miles, and nary a boat, or any other sign of human life, to be found. A bona fide step back in time one could just as easily seen such sights five hundred or a thousand years prior; long range fishing defined.
This is why we come - to experience fishing rarely attainable, if attainable at all, within reach of vessels less equipped and capable. We lived reality long range today. And, taking all things into account, we seek to continue, and build upon, the trend tomorrow. An afternoon of exploration and variety fishing set us in good shape to target the dandy yellows again tomorrow morning before heading out and up in another effort offshore. This seventy six to seventy eight degree blue water has a way of motivating one to go in search of. They are out there. Perhaps we will be the ones to find them.
Photos today feature a couple of different images I snapped from the tank when spots of yellows erupted around us.These images must whet the appetite of any true fisherman Needless to say these were opportunites screaming for anglers to fire the surface iron. And indeed they did. Young Connor Chilson is treated to his first long range style yellowtail show in the first image, and long time veteran Andy Kettley enjoys the sights and sounds in image number two. Nice.
