Our annual Red Rooster III 6-day trip just got back to the dock today and it was quite a memorable experience. It started out with wide open yellowtail fishing, jigs, lures, bait anything you could throw at them. The offshore fishing at the Ridge has recently slowed down due to rising water temps and heavy seiner presence which took most of the bigger fish and split the schools up so we elected to hit some offshore kelps for some yellowfin followed by the long trek to Alijos rocks. Once we got there we had a slow but steady yellowfin bite, a mix of bigger grade fish up to 130lbs and smaller 10-30lb schoolies. The topwater bite wasn't too hot but I got 3 on the popper while all of the bigger fish ended up coming on long soaked live sardines which were big and healthy from the receiver. We had a few wahoo mixed in, some on the troll, bombs and bait. Overall it was a unique trip that left everyone satisfied.
