Alijos Rocks
by Bill Roecker
Jeff DeBuys docked Independence October 2 after a 10-day
trip, the Fishin’ Fools charter with Dennis Evans in charge
of 28 other anglers. DeBuys tied up at Point Loma
Sportfishing and weighed the best of an excellent catch that
included limits of yellowtail from Alijos Rocks.
"We had very good dorado fishing and a few wahoo on kelps,"
said skipper Jeff. "It was perfect at Alijos Rocks; we had
really good fishing on yellowtail and yellowfin tuna."
Scad mackerel live at Alijos Rocks, and Jerry Mark of Laguna
Beach used one to bag an impressive yellowtail, a 57.6-
pound mossback. He pinned it to an 8/0 hook of unknown
origin and used 50-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon leader and
80-pound Izorline Spectra on a Tiagra 16 reel with a Calstar
6465 XH rod to do the job in 45 minutes.
"He was out there about 300 yards," said Mark, "and he bit
when I was winding in. He just did his thing. Scad mackerel
was a good thing for me; I got a marlin and yellowfin tuna
with those, too."
Ken Aiso of Long Beach won first place, for an 80.4-pound
tuna. He got that one with a sardine on a 5/0 Eagle Claw
hook tied to 50-pound Seaguar fluoro and 65-pound Izorline
Spectra on a Tiagra 16 reel. He used a Calstar 7465 rod, and
got his fish in 20 minutes.
John Keeler of Santa Monica won second place for a
74,6-pound tuna, and Dennis Evans of Cedar Park, TX got
third place for a 72.4-pound Alijos Rocks yellowfin tuna.
