It was a zoo at Seaforth Landing on the Sunday night we were on leaving for our 1 day trip on the Voyager. All the weekend charters were coming in and the buzz at the landing was that there were fish, they were close, and there were a lot of them. So we left Seaforth at around 9:30pm with our Capt. Todd Meyer at the helm and were off heading south. The plan was to head about 60 miles south and paddy hop in search of yellowtail, dorado, yellowfin, and possibly bluefin. Todd told everyone on the boat ride down to start the morning off using their 40lb set ups, he told us these fish had been so aggressive that light line was not necessary, not to mention a few larger class yellowfin that had been seen in the area. We awoke in the morning to find ourselves in the middle of some rough and rolling seas, but nothing that could keep our fishing spirits down. At grey light we dropped the trolling rigs in and were on the hunt for Kelp! We hit a few paddys early and they produced small yellow tail and dorado, but nothing of decent size. The morning went on and we finally hit a small paddy but boy was everyone home! Right off the bat the yellowtail were jumping out of the water to grab our baits, after that bite started to mellow down out came the yellowfin boiling all around the boat, if your bait wasn’t bit after 1 min, you needed to pin on a new one. That yellowfin fishing was awesome, and in the middle of that, a school of larger size dorado started to circle the boat, we were able to land some of those nicer dodo’s with Floyd landing a 17#er. As the day came to a close we turned to see all of our sacks full with tails popping out. For a 10 person trip, it was awesome! Huge thanks to Capt. Todd and his crew, they always keep a positive attitude and help us get on the fish!
