Todd, What kind of trip did you do?....a multi day out of San Diego? That’s a trip I’d like to do someday and likely the only way I’d go back to Mexico.

One trip I took out of Nuevo Vallarta the captain brought a load of palm fronds and created his own flotsam. It seemed that any shade on the water attracted fish. We’d troll for a couple hours or go fish the rocks then come back to the “kelp” and surprisingly catch fish. .

I’ve heard about guys out of Westport that occasionally catch Yellowtail, especially the El Niño years when the currents are favorable. I know that there’s been Marlin and Opaka caught out of Westport and think that’d be pretty cool to tangle with but my personal code requires me to release all billfish....the Opaka gets eaten.
