Just got off the Star YFT, BFT, YT, Dorado
Yes, they are here. Great YT at the Rocks 15 to 20 at the surface 20 to 40 on the bottom. 40# line with a 1 oz egg and 4/0 J hook seem to be the setup for surface. 12 to 16 oz with 6/0 J seem to be the dropper loop setup 60# line was the min. they would bite anything on the loop.
YFT up to 80#. I used 40 to 50# line 2/0 circle no sinker..
BFT over 100#. 40# line min.!! some big ass fish out there.. 2/0 circle. They bit 50# later in the day.

Looks like y'all had a fun trip!
Gotta love a photo of bent rods with the rocks in the background.

Great photo!
You fished with an old pal of mine, Alaska Mike, the Arctic Fox, a unique character to say the least. I see Sean in the photos, did he decide to stay with fishing . . . he had been talking about a dry land career path.

Looks like a great trip. I wish I had gone now. The weather looks a bit bumpy.
Nice job on the BFT getting some fatties for the first ones of the season.
Typical Royal Star.....always on the bite!
Good job !!!!
