“After today we are going inside possibly to the Mag Bay area to look in the big tuna grounds from the years prior. With a couple of days on the inside we would love a surprise with maybe some wahoo or at this rate just something different. I think as a group we have had enough of this.”
On the 30th, he wrote, “Good evening, folks. Yesterday we spent the day in search of wahoo and managed to pick up 16 for the day. A couple of fast pace stops with heavy losses but the excitement was there.

The trip was a West Coast Anglers charter with Robert Peterson aboard as chartermaster. He said a custom rod was given away to the taker of the best yellowtail, with all proceeds involved going to help Chef Jorge Nicifore.
Glenn Kerr of Glenn’s Alignment and Brake in Costa Mesa, a regular rider on the Rooster was aboard, and remarked, “The yellowtail fishing at Alijos was phenomenal on iron near the bottom. The dropper loop was pretty good, too. We got one toad after another; they were consistently huge.”
Back at H&M Landing October 3, Cates remarked on the fine weather and his great trip, with good fishing on The Ridge and offshore kelps as well as the 40 to 100-pound tuna at Alijos Rocks. He weighed the best of the catch.

“He stayed outside and went around the boat twice,” said Bill. “He was tough to the end.”
Bill Brandstetter of Mission Viejo was second, for an 85-pounder, and Paul Zacks of Fountain Valley was third, for a 76-pound Alijos Rocks yellowfin tuna. Young Tam of Monterey Park, who trolled up a 50-pound wahoo, joined the three in the lineup shot.
