Excellent week, spent few days in San Diego County recon for next spring turkey hunt and then off on 3 1/2 day trip with Pacific Voyager. Will say while scouting there were plenty of turkeys found both on private and public along with meeting some great locals. All in all good start for turkey options. As to my fishing trip, sailed south and fished for Yellowfin that were last reported about 140 down. Our first day was filled with many personal best for YF where we stayed on one drift for eight hours and across nine miles from our initial mark. Awesome fishing even with the many losses, I myself had eight hookups with four landed tuna from 70 to 110 lbs. Pulled the hook and broke my floro on two and was burnt off by two other anglers. No complaints here four was plenty. Day two fish moved further south and we didn’t have one hook up for the day. All in all great trip and week.

Great fishes! Must’ve worked the arms and back pretty well. Enjoy the fresh Ahi!
 
Tuna, turkey, now go for them damn chucker devils. Nice fish and good eating. I have a lot of tuna canned up.
 
Lou,

You get around...You talked to the owner of the "Best 40 acres in SD"................. ;)
Help me out, who was it that I spoke with specifically. I spoke with a lot of folks in Julian area and tried to gain as much info as I could on where to hunt. Private is a real struggle, unless someone wants to share lol.
