More yellowtail at the islands! Pacific Eagle hooked about 20 yellows today, landing 8 fish. Some caught on dropper loop, some on surface irons. The white seabass bite at the local islands has slowed down, but the outer islands have really turned on! Pacific Dawn has had limits of seabass by early morning for several days now.

Both Island Spirit and Pacific Eagle will be targeting yellowtail, white seabass and barracuda for the next few days. Pacific Dawn will continue the roll its on at Santa Rosa Island.

TACKLE: Here is a quick run down on what to bring when you come fishing. Squid catchers for making bait. Medium action rod and reel combo spooled with 25-30lb monofiliment line for the dropper loop. Medium-light action rod for throwing jigs and jig heads. Hooks 5/0 circle is highly recommended for the dropper loop. 3/0-4/0 standard live bait hooks are recommended for "fly lining". Bring a range of sinkers styles and weights from 6oz to 16oz torpedo, and 1/8oz to 3/4oz egg sinkers. Florocarbon leader is not a bad idea either. Jigs, like Salas or Tady surface irons in your favorit color. Jig heads like Gitzem 1/2oz to 1.5oz or Banana jig heads 1/2oz to 1.5oz.
