Just got off the phone with Capt. Mark Oronoz... he relayed the following:
He had a 1.5 day charter this weekend to Colonet. They fished yellows in the morning and caught 26 that were all big fish. All fish over 20#'s with the biggest at 28#'s. Due to weather conditions they didn't get to the Colonet mount until almost 8AM and the fish bit until 10:30AM. Big bonita mixed in the yellowtail schools. Hot ticket was the blue/white with flat glowback. Tady 7X scrambled egg and blue chrome. All fish caught yo yo at 100+ feet deep. The charter did not get a shot at the afternoon bite as they had to head back up the line. Mark would stop on a sonar mark, chum the fish and whammo. Apparently, lots of fish lost.
We will stay on Colonet the whole day for both an early and afternoon bite. We will anchor up at Salsuipuedes and the water temp inside is 3 degrees warmer than the last two years. We will be up close, shallow, and in the middle of the kelp beds. Last year Brad ZZZZ, Bill and Roxy were pulling 5# calicos from the kelp. On Sunday, we will swing out in 150' to load up on reds, then swing inside to 60 to 120 for assorted rockfish. We have caught 30# halibut on the inside. Mark says the weather looks really good for this coming weekend and the TB MOJO is working.
With our Team Competition, we should rack 100 yellows on the first day.
I gave Mark a heads up that this will be a rowdy crowd and he says; right on !!
We will have double prime rib for dinner on our trip.... yuuummmy.
Last year's Colonet yellows.......
