Fishing Conditions - Justin Carpenter 5 Day
We started our morning along the coast looking for yellowtail, and while the birds and life showed up around 8:00 AM, the biting window was short-lived. By 10:00 AM, the yellowtail had shut off completely. After grinding through the shallows for a few hours with no luck, we made the call to head back offshore. We found the bluefin right as the sun was going down! We’re now sitting just a few fish away from bluefin limits. Tomorrow we will be focusing on hitting our limit and looking for yellowfin tuna.
