I'm pretty sure I was as excited as he was, and I'm getting a lot of mileage out of the story too. It's all good.

I would hate to give you bad dope though. Before I give out coordinates, I need to verify that I, meaning ME, can catch something big that I can keep in that spot.

My feeling are hurt. I need a safe space.
Seriously though, Probably the reason I haven't caught a YT is because I haven't set it as a priority. When I go to LJ, I'll spend maybe an hour targeting the big fish, then I'll go find some rockfish. I rarely go home without fish. I also avoid LJ on weekends because of the crowd. That WSB was caught in the same area I got a BSB last fall.....Not the Jewel.
In the end I go to enjoy myself, and have never failed at that. I also derived great pleasure from gaffing the big butt and wsb for the newbies, and sharing their great adventure. I earned a lot of points too.
As for Durty Curti suggesting I become a guide, I actually had the same thought very briefly. I quickly decided that in doing so I would instantly turn off whatever good JuJu that has been happening.

I meant no disrespect but what I said is true. If you put in the time you should catch one pretty easily. I go out before sun comes up and down upward of 12hrs on the water because I love it. Going out for one or two hours once or twice a week is going to be tough.

I know not everyone gets lucky and to catch YTs you have to put in some time. I get to go out about every other week for 6-8 hours. I enjoy my time no matter what I catch. I'll get mine in due time. I know I'm doing the right things since I've caught BSB and got newbies onto WSB and a big butt. I'll keep enjoying it no matter what. Hope to meet you on the water some day.

You'll get one if you keep at it- try using lighter line and different areas. I caught 4 in one day in 200ft of water. Sometimes you just have to be at the right place at the right time but keep moving and use fresh baits. Good luck

Holy crap! Nice biscuit!
