"We left the grounds after epic offshore Yellowfin fishing," recalled Red Rooster III skipper Andy Cates July 10. We caught 22 to 30-pound fish absolutely wide open. Bread and butter, we call them and what a great day it was. There were fish up to 40 pounds but not many, just a few, but the bulk of the fish are 25 to 30 pounds. It was classic ridge grade fish.

"After yesterday with the yellows and now the school-size fish, we are in the market for a few Jackpot fish. Alijos Rocks sounds like the most practical move and nobody has been there in a while so, why not? We will be there first thing in the morning and see if some fish have moved in there as well. Great weather and great fishing. Nice! No pictures today, we were way too busy."
