NEW YEAR'S DAY FISHING TRIP BY THE BOAT MELODY

Jan. 3, 2006, Judy Ostberg, Melody, Ensenada, Mexico Sportfishing Report:

A note about New Year's Day fishing out of the Marina Coral, Ensenada. I and Mel Ostberg, on our boat Melody, Mike Kraus, and Andres Montes went on our traditional New Year's Day fishing trip looking for the first albacore of the year.

We found 62 degree water just west of the lower 500. No albacore but 15 yellowtail, all on jig strikes. The yellowtail were between 10 and 12 pounds. We had flat calm seas and headed back in happy with our day. They were not interested in the iron and we were not able to get bait either from Gordo or Mike Richardson.
