Some boats that hit the lower banks last year late Nov/early Dec did very well. I opted to do my first 10-day at the beginning of Nov this year hoping to get into lots of wahoo. And for the options those extra three days allow. While I've been trying to get back to Lupe the past two years without success, I'm still optimistic and happy with the options this year without Lupe in the picture. Bluefin, YF and quality YT in day range off SD, the lower banks, the ridge and rocks. We had a great bite on 18-20 lb YT at one of the island areas on the way back to SD last year in early Dec. And a good chance at lower head counts on lots of trips this year. If my trip is going, I'm going.
