"We had a great day at Cedros Island today," wrote Art Taylor June 15, "in spite of the tough conditions, 20 to 30 knots of wind, for most of the day. We had good fishing for 14 to 18-pound yellowtail, with steady action for most of the day.

"The majority of the fish were caught on live bait with a flyline rig of 30 to 40-pound line and a 2/0 hook. There were a lot of fish caught on the blue and white yo-yo jig and 50 pound line.

"We had a great dinner and everyone is looking forward to a good night's sleep and another good day of yellowtail fishing."

On June 13, Taylor filed this report: "Our Searcher turned 39 years old last month and I am starting my 25th year owning and operating her!"
