Hey there theangler,

I remember a wild trip 2 years ago to Catalina island here in California, and on the Victory no less. We had just had so so fishing at the island and were coming back when the skipper starting seeing pods of porpoise or was it dolphin cavorting around about mid-channel. (10 miles from shore and the dock) He yelled for all to get their jig sticks going and before we knew it were into the YTF's like mad. We were able to make two good stops and boated a respectable number all on Tady's I believe.

Sure would like to see them come back this year.
