light 20-30 floro unless wide open then you can go heavier...1/0 or 2/0 hook to match the bait size..

I went 3 weeks ago. Weather sucked that day. As the deckhands told me i went on the worst day of the whole year.... but other than the day i went the fishing is sick right now! Wish i could go again but the bank says otherwise.

I made it out last week on the Dolphin III out of Point Loma. Same basic set up, couple rods, 30lb line and 3/o hooks, but the dines were a nice size. As was said, wide open Yellowfin! As for smallish, in the 10lb range, I have something to say about that ...

Went out last week on the Pacific Queen and used one 30 and one 40lb set up with Mustad 2/0 hooks. And I killed it with limits of BFT,YFT averaging 30lbs and YT.

True that, crazy good offshore...
Finally we get a good offshore season

My freezer is full of BFT/YFT/MAHI, get out there while they're still around. We also got into the 50# BFT, good times!
