ISLANDER 3.5 DAY - Reports on pg 44!

Was at FW yesterday and heard a rumor that bait has been a bit scarce in the area?  Any ideas on what bait is going to be available? 

Dude why do you have to be such a dick and use acronyms for? Whats FW????

All I've heard is that there is some squid starting to show up around Catalina and that the bait receivers there are selling live squid bait. It would be awesome to fish live squid again!

The Pursuit picked up 70 YT at Catalina yesterday and another boat picked up 73.

I will google but thought will also ask here - do I need heavier gear or anything else for YT ?

Heavier than what?  If you have 30# class gear, you'll be fine.

On the boat, I use 30 pound line...fish can't take the boat for a sleigh ride.  If it breaks off, I use 40 pound. Like Allen said, 30 pound should be OK. You will probably go on a sleigh ride until the fish tires out. When it does begin to come up, it will be in a circling pattern, much like tuna.

Thanks Allen. I use 65 braid to 30 lb topshot and/or leader, with MH rods and 15 lb drag reels, seems I should be fine.

Great, thanks!
