Afran, thanks for pointing that out, I've caught two yellowtail in 2008 on
plastic. I don't put much time into chasing yellows, or mackerel for bait
anymore, and may have spent a total of 10 minutes fishing for calicos this
year, and that's almost all I used to do. Strange how target species
rotate. Keeps it interesting.
My FIRST kayak yellowtail was caught in the Moyer Tourney 2003, on the
same plastic and the same bass setup. Note the green plastic on the bass
rod below, that's what I throw a lot, and fooled this fish too.
