"This morning was a little on the slow side," wrote Shogun skipper Bruce Smith June 6, "but this afternoon was on fire! Again most of the yellows were in that 18 to 22-pound range, but we landed some real brutes, up to 50 pounds. Most of the really big fish today came on the surface iron; Salas 7X ruled for sure. Crazy as it sounds, we are still in this cold water, 60.7 degrees to be exact, and contrary to common belief, the yellows wanted to bite with a vengeance. Like I stated earlier it wasn't the yo-yo bite we had yesterday, the fish ate the fly lined sardine well enough along with the 6x Jr's. We fished near the bottom. The wind is still up, and keeps us on our toes. We are really hoping to get a break in this weather so we can head offshore and find some tuna."
