BAJA FISH GEAR TRIP (091210)!!! Jeff DeBuys parked the Independence at Pt. Loma Sportfishing September 12 after a four-day trip to the Benitos/Cedros area. "Cedros was better," he noted, "by quite a bit. That water at Benitos turned for the worse." There were 28 anglers on the boat, who had numerous Yellowtail in the30-pound class. Justin Rossi of LA had the best one, a 35.2-pounder that bit on a sardine and a 2/0 Mustad 91450 hook tied to 40-pound blue Izorline and 65-pound Power Pro Spectra backing. He used a Trinidad 30 reel and a Calstar 6465 rod built by Yo's. Patrick Newton of Westland, OR won second place for a 34.4-pound Yellowtail and Skip Newton (no relation) of Canyon Lake won third place for his 33.8-pound Yellowtail.
