We woke up this morning in the calm lee of South Coronado Island and headed out in search of spots of yellows. It took a little looking today to get in the right area, but once we found them there was no shortage of fish. We chased schools for a couple of biters in breezy conditions. With the fish not responding well to our offerings and the weather deteriorating, we headed back in to the shelter of the Island to see what we could come up with in calmer conditions. The local population of sea lions quickly shut down any thoughts of landing a fish so we headed for the coast. After a five drifts on the beach for no halibut bites we called it a trip and headed for the barn. We unloaded a happy group of anglers whose catch was filleted, packaged in ziploc bags, and iced to ensure a premium product for the table.

We will be heading out on Friday for eight days with Capt. Ekstrom at the helm.
