Nice fish!... Its been a good year for em up here... I got two off Santa Cruz, one in May and another in July. Definitely the result of banning the gillnet drops off their undersea deepwater highways.
Nice fish! Hey, those small halibut are really good eating. What type of bait were you drifting? Live or frozen? Small or Big? I keep hearing more and more reports of WSB being caught in the Bay and outside the Gate. I wonder if someone will catch a yellowtail this year; I heard that Yellowtail have been caught all way up in Oregon. It's rare, but WSB are rare, too.
in 90 sumthin 2 yellowtail were caught a kodiak island AK
