"Today we moved up the line," wrote American Angler skipper Brian Kiyohara June 12, "to put us in position to take a look at the offshore grounds tomorrow. We stopped and looked for yellowtail to break up the ride. It took us a little bit to figure out conditions, but once we did... it was game on. We had school grade 12 to 18-pounders free-swimming next to the boat biting flylined baits and every kind of jig that was thrown in the water. We did this for a little while and in order to only take what we need, we took off to put us in position for some offshore fishing.

"For myself and the rest of the crew, this kind of fishing never gets old. We all still like to go fishing locally and throw the surface plug and no matter how many times we see good yellowtail fishing, it still gets the juices flowing."
