Chasing Yellowtail with SURFACE IRONS (San Clemente Island)

One Goal: Land a Yellowtail on Surface Iron at San Clemente Island 🎯 We set out to San Clemente Island with one mission: catch yellowtail on surface irons. With just anchovies in the tank and no sardines in sight, it was going to be a challenge… but that didn’t stop us from sending cast after cast, working every inch of the front side. Alex, Vinny, Eugen, and I pushed hard all day, hoping for that signature blowup only a surface iron yellowtail can deliver. For those who don’t know — I’m a new boat owner learning the SoCal fishery from the ground up. After years of fishing on sport boats and splitting time between football and work, I finally have the flexibility (and the boat!) to fully dive into this lifestyle. This trip was part of that journey — a full-send mission to master yellowtail fishing at one of SoCal’s most legendary islands. Did we land a yellow on deck… or get humbled trying to make it happen? Either way, this was one for the books. 🎣 Subscribe if you're into real-deal SoCal fishing content ⚓ Like the video if you've ever chased yellowtail with surface irons 🐟 Drop a comment with your go-to surface iron color or setup! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ About ReelCurly ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Just a curly-haired SoCal kid who loves fishing with his dad and dog.
