A great fish count of 103 yellowtail for 29 anglers was scored by a Seaforth boat yesterday, likely signaling the start of the long-awaited summer inshore bite.

The San Diego, running a  ? day trip with skipper Ryan Bostian, fished at the Rockpile for 16 to 22 pound yellowtail, reported landing manager John Yamate, who noted that fishing was "...good for small handful of jig fishermen but most fished with bait."

The bite went on most of the time the boat remained on location. The water temperatures recently have been 63 to 65 degrees, said Yamate.

Seaforth wasn't the only landing to cash in on the bonanza. H&M counterperson Martha said yesterday the Malihini fished at the Coronados yesterday on  ? day trip scored 20 'tails by 11 in the morning, and ended up with 26 yellows for seven anglers. "The weather was beautiful, and the fish, up to 25 pounds, bit on bait the skipper was Clay Williams. The next day the boat left with 48 people," said Martha to dock reporter Bill Roecker.
