I understand what you mean. Many, many years ago I went on a 3/4 day to the Coronados on New Year’s day while visiting in San Diego because the yellowtail had been wide open the day before. The boat was full because everybody else saw the same fish count. First stop looked promising w/ 5 hookups but only 1 yellowtail came on board while the sea lions feasted on the rest.
After that we didn’t see another yellowtail till the afternoon and it was just a loner that a guy caught. We did catch some rockfish at the other stops but most people went home w/o anything.
It was still worth it. The islands were beautiful, great crew, and I won a huge jackpot because I was lucky enough to get my yellowtail on the boat while the other guys fed the sea lions. I kept it watered down all day and it beat the fresher fish caught at the end of the day.
Go when you can go and if it’s not like you thought it would be don’t be discouraged. Go another day. Meanwhile even on a rough day make each bait count because you never know. . .

Thanks for stopping by Allen and sharing your story. Congrats on JP!
I always tell people, time on the water is its own reward. There were so many times I went out when I first started fishing here and didn’t catch anything. My first overnight, whole boat caught 2 yellows. I got bit…twice…and didn’t land either. I’ve been lucky enough to find people willing to teach me how to be successful. Every cast, every stop, every trip offers an opportunity to improve. In the meantime, I’ve made great, lifelong friends, seen some cool things on the water, learned a lot, and now I’m pretty decent at catching these fish. Tight lines!

You’ll get your shot buddy. We need to do some pre-work first.

Ha! That initially made it in, but I had to cut it ;-). Thanks for stopping by!
