Yellowtail fishing

The big south surge brought monster yellowtail to the local waters in April. While these fish are usually found farther south and further out to sea, the swell caused them to come in closer to shore. The result was three yellowtails of record-breaking size caught on a Western Pride Boat. The largest weighed 45 pounds, while the other two were in the 20-pound range. Before setting the hook, anglers must wait for fish to swim within the casting distance.

How can I clean my fishing gear properly?

There are many types of cleaning techniques that you can use to clean your fishing gear. Some are very simple while others require advanced techniques. You can use soap and warm water.
