I'm a relatively new member, just getting into offshore fishing. I'm going out with a group of 5 out of Venice on MLK weekend. Fishing for YFT on Sat, and Wahoo on Sun. Hope weather cooperates. We're fishing with Capt. Rimmer Covington on a 39' Sea Vee with triple 300's. A friend fished with Rimmer 3 years ago when he was first mate to Capt. Peace Marvel of Reel Peace Charters. On that trip, they landed a limitof 50-70 lb YFT, plus one monster at 208lbs, whichsupposedly was the state record briefly.
