Daniel and I played our bands like guitars and the Yellowtails loved it! We saw about 12 each... schools of 2-5 at a time... most were drawn into clear view buy playing the bands.
Vis at Catalina frontside was 40-60ft, endless schools of bait and tons of nice grade 5-20lb yellows. The bigger ones kept their distance but daniel and I both shot our first yellows at 10 and 12 pounds, but lost 2 as well. Both on single wrap floppershafts! We also got 18 lobsters diving and my lil bro got 4 hooping. Great trip for November!!!
