Today we arrived at Alijos Rocks mid morning and quickly had a triple jig strike on tuna and skipjack. Jumpers and a lost tuna around 50# gave us hope, but a general lack of current kept fishing slow. Before sunset Bruce moved the Shogun out to Alijos Bank to look for yellows. He ran across a spot of mackerel, and we quickly made 2 tanks of "Yellowtail Candy". Upon anchoring up on the bank it was full speed on 30# yellows. We had some three hours of excellent yellowtail fishing. Soon everyone switched to dead bait as it resulted in an instant hookup, and reached the bottom quicker. It was a great fishing experience. Tomorrow we'll see if there is an early bite on tuna, with the yellowtail fishing waiting for us in the afternoon. The trip is shaping up nicely.

Fishing for a living,

The Shogun crew
