Just got back in today, what a beautiful day on the water. Sunny and a light breeze. As for the fishing we ended up with 9 yellows in the 6-12 lb range off one kelp at 08,40. Nice blue water with many kelps in that erea. Started out at around the 425 in cold, ugly green water then worked out to the west. Stopped on many kelps for nothing. Its all about finding the right one! Reports on the 181 and 182 sounded good today,hope this early info helps. 390 sounded a little slow but we were off the water by 1:30. Good luck, go get em, there here! Thanks to Ryan and Kyle for a fun day on the El Dorado

you should consider releasing the smaller 6-10lb youngsters.
these are the fish that return as 15lb+ yt's next year.

Way to whack 'em bro. Must run in the family. :FU: for getting out when I was working.

I believe they grow faster than that. A 10 pounder now will be 13-14 by October with good feed.

All the more reason. But I must admit, the little guys taste alot better than than the larger ones. Either way, good job on the yellows

Great report... I should have spent more time on the producing paddies and less on the ??? Albicore.

Hey I'd love to get a limit of 10#'s... man they eat sooooo fine!
