Hoping for yellowtail my buddies and I chartered a boat out of Ensenada. We found cold water and windy conditions and no yellowtail. The back-up plan was to fish rockfish. We fished the north end of Todos Santos. We had 6 - 8 inch macks for bait and the lings loved them. Caught 20 lings mostly on the macks with some going for Fish Trap swimbaits. Also caught 5 red rockfish and one ling on the Jewel Glider Squid. Wind came up early and with two my buds chumming, we called it day at 12:30 p.m.

Manuel was the best skipper ever. He put us on the reef and knew rockfishing well. He baited every hook and un-hooked every fish. There was no bait net on board. It was hard to catch swimming macks bare-handed in cold bait tank water. So, Manuel dipped his arm into the cold tank and did the baiting for us.
