After a couple hours there, we moved out to the 300 ft mark and continued catching. We got a lot of time bottom fishing, everyone did well.
After that we headed to deep water and our first rig. Someone caught a toad of a blackfin on a jig quickly and the blackfin bite was ok, think I was the only yellowfin caught at the first stop, that came off a Halco. A few others hooked up but none made it over the rail.
Capt. Jill made a move to another floater not far away. We rolled in to what was seem like calmness only to turn into yellowfin chaos in a matter of minutes. Hooked up 2nd cast and lots of others latched on also. We got into a mess of yellowfin all around that 35 to 45 lb range. If you threw a Halco, you got smacked, it didn't matter what color. A lot of yellowfin was lost for various reasons. Blackfin bite was good also, those guys jigging stayed busy.
I saw yellowfin caught on topwater, Halco's, chunks and jigs.
Just a good bite it was and a trip for the memory books.

That was a long battle, for a good minute think everyone was wondering how big is this and hopefully a Yellowfin.Some idiot hooked a dusky by the tailbrought it all the way to the boat.
Good times
Illy,you need to tell technic you used,what kind jigs ,rod,reel
it will help everybody
I was just using my slow pitch rod. PWR 2. The reel doesn't really matter as long as its light. I use OJ2001 cuz they are so smooth and I feel like that makes a big difference in when you are spj. I used 200g JYG jigs in the shallower depths and then when we moved out further I went with Jigs R Us jigs that were fast fall style.
Its not so much the jig, but the action. I had about 4 or 5 Beeliners that had no right attacking a jig that big. More often than not, I would just drop it down, make 1 or 2 pitches and be hooked up.
The biggest thing to worry about is keeping your line vertical. Because if you don't you will not work the jig properly and you wont catch anything.
