Mike Pritchard
Captain Mike Pritchard checked in with an update from Cortes Bank. We have 27 Yellowtail, 1 Bluefin, and a bunch of Whitefish. And at the time of the report, they just brought a Dorado over the rail. Right now, the 30-pound fly-lined bait is the ticket.
We have another trip departing tomorrow at 5 PM. There are 9 spots open at the time of posting.
