Ep. 2: Speed Jigs & Surface Iron Yellowtail!

This video series takes place at Cedros Island in Baja, Mexico during July of 2023. Cedros has become one of my favorite fisheries that I have had the pleasure of fishing over the years.
This time of year, if you like surface fishing, is the perfect time of year for numbers! Good grade migrating schoolies, averaging out at 17 lbs - 25 lbs, and a great shot at transitioning homeguard season as well.
Unfortunately on this day, no giants were caught, but we saw a lot of very sizable fish that would not commit.
We had an overall very slow start to the morning. Running down bird school after bird school of finicky yellowtail. Topping it off with pretty rough and windy conditions adding to frustrations.
By the time we finally found some fish, all stars had aligned!
Gorgeous flat calm conditions, sun out, and boiling fish!
A handful of decent shots at surface iron fish, but this day, they especially wanted the yo-yos and vertical jigs.
Thank you all for watching, I hope you enjoyed this video!

that looks fun as hell

[@Dirty.Hookers]

Such a blast! Yellowtail fishing all around is my favorite fish to target on artificials

Yo pimp. What is that lure at the 13:58 mark. Who makes it? I can see flip slider 200g but could not find it online. I'm a sucker for a new lure. Thx, and keep the vids coming.

[@Dirty.Hookers]

It is a Richwin Flip Slider. Hoping to have a online store for them soon! I will announce in a future video when that time comes!

You gotta hop on our panga one day when we go

[@Dirty.Hookers]

I would like to if you guys end up on one of the bigger boats. 4 is tough to fish on most of the pangas

[@Dirty.Hookers]

I was fishing 50# izorline XXX mono for both surface iron and speed jig set ups.

Nice man! It’s crazy fighting fish on these rods! Does most of the work for you

Factory build Phenix Megalodon 607, paired with a torium 16

[@GorettyEnriquez]

Do you know if the avet turn 2 reels have good free spool for casting

[@Dirty.Hookers]

I’m not 100%, I’ve never personally looked into Avet reels myself.

[@marceloamador92024]
