Some five dozen wahoo in the catch for Independence helped make the ten-day Young's Tackle charter trip skippered by owners Mark Pisano and Paul Strasser a good one for 29 anglers who returned to Point Loma Sportfishing November 12. Tuna swept the jackpots, however.

"We fished The Ridge, the southern banks, and looked at a lot of paddies, too," said Strasser at the dock, "and we got some fish at Alijos Rocks, too. There were some real good yellowtail biting there."

"Today we had great fishing on big wahoo and dorado," read the Indy's report for November 9, "in good weather. The wahoo were up to 60 lbs. and the dorado up to 30 pounds. The hot ticket was to sink some type of jig down deep and turn the handle fast for the wahoo; the flats on the other hand bit anything with a hook. Today Lee Robertshaw would like his wife Kathy to know he caught his first wahoo and she can pick any spot in the world for their next vacation. We plan to fish for yellowtail on the coast tomorrow."

Mike Nagao of Whittier took first place, for a 116-pound yellowfin tuna that mistook his sardine for something like a free lunch. It bit on a 1/0 ringed Mutu hook, 40-pound Big Game line and 65-pound Izorline Spectra backing. Nagao used a Cal Sheets-treated Penn 12 T reel and a 765 ML rod. He said the fish fought him hard for 45 minutes.

Larry Amboy of Oceanside took an 88.4-pound yellowfin, good for second place, and Phil Meckley of Fullerton won third place for an 82.8-pound yellowfin tuna.
