skeeter,
Feed me some info. Where are you launching from? I am "assuming" San Diego, H&M Landing, Fisherman's Landing, Point Loma?? What boat are you on? How many days?
I just booked 3 trips for the season on the TopGun 80, a new boat out of H&M Landing. Doing a 1.5 day, 2.5 day, and a 3.5 day. Early May will put you into early season Albacore (Long Fin Tuna), some Bluefin potential, Yellowtail on the kelp patties, and possibly Yellow Fin depending on how long your trip is. Time out delegates which fishing grounds you will get to. 1 -3 day will usually get you to the Outer Banks which is good LFT, BFT, and sometimes YFT water. 3+ days gets you to the Guadalupe Island and surrounding waters. Far more like to see the big YFT Cows.
You'll likely have the opportunity to have your catch processed and fileted for a nominal fee on the boat. If you guys get into the Cows then the story changes. There's a place called Antonios near the landings. The boats will stop there and you have the option to have your fish processed there. They have an exchange where you can give them your fish and in turn, they will give you canned fish and charge you. Personally I think its a rip off and would never do it but that might be an option for you since you're traveling so far. They or the landing can probably arrange to have your catch prepped and shipped as well. I'd call the landing or the boat and check in with the skipper, they do this day in day out down there.
Again, I'd love to hear what your plans are. To bad I won't be down there till late June.
