Took a few free hours and a break in the storm to hit some Local San Diego shore line. I wanted some beach Calicos as the new tin boat is being rebuilt. The conditions looked great, small surf incoming tide. wasn't sure where to go so I fell back on one of my old areas. I left early and the rain was heavy all the way down the hill. It broke as I arrived at the coast. stoked on the conditions flat water I made my way to the shore. walked and casted forever before I found some willing calicos I was throwing my new team daiwa 1102 mhfs with the emcast 6000a long casting surf reel. Bait was a daiwa salt pro minnow in sardine color. the Calicos were going off. caught a bunch of them but nothing too big. I looked for better water and found some real fishy looking stuff. I blasted out a great cast and as soon as the bait hit the water a fish blew up on it. I didn't even have a chance to flip the bail before it took line. I finally got the fish to tight line and to the rocks. I about crapped when I saw it was a Yellow tail. And a good one. fought it and ,made my way to the edge to grab it when a wave tumbled it and it was gone....Ohhh my god.. Kept at it and another real long cast. two cranks in I'm on. thoughtnit was the bass I was after, but the yellow fins proved me wrong. I tried to baby the fish but the waves kept taking it into the reef. I waited for the set to come in and washed it up on the rocks. BOOOOM. Goal met. Yellowtail from the surf. What a day. Not a huge fish but a nice size. Now for a big one...

That is a definite surf fisherman's bucket list. Awesome that you got one in April. Last year, people were hot to nab a surf caught Yellowtail.
Next, a surf caught Hammerhead or Mako.
