Skipper Tom does the gaff honors on a schoolie Yellowtail.

I managed to get in on the action, landing my first fish of the 2007 season. Not a bad start!

IRON MEN take a pause while Skipper Tom made a quick move. Between them they caught 5 Yellowtail.

Mike shows off his first YT of the day!

Fred Ballestero of Hawthorne hooks the second of his 3 yellows.

Ross finally knocks off the skunk! Ross hooked and un-buttoned 4 fish before finally getting one!

Another YT is taken down! Our tails ranged from 5-10 pounds, but a few 25-30 pounders are out there!

Casey of San Fernando nails his first Yellow of the year! A live squid did the trick on this fish.

After the yellowtail bit slowed we moved into the reefs for some Calico action.

A mix of great weather, fishing and friends kicks off the beginning of the ???07 season!

Those kelp beds will be prime for Calico Bass and Yellowtail throughout the summer!

Thanks to Tom and the crew of the Freedom. Tom and his crew take the extra steps for your trip!

Nice Yellows!
