YFT/Seiners in Ensenada

The YFT are rumored to be intercepted by the Seiners and Super seiners down off of Ensenada. This comes from private boats fishing down the line who have actually watched the sets. Can you guys see any signs of that? The bite sure has shut down up here. We are loaded with bait on all the banks but no fish in any large amounts, just a few stragglers.
One board has the Azteca seiners in port as well as hearing "chinese" a lot on the radio. Im just trying to find out if its worth pumping gas into the boat at this point.....Frank

There has always been a fleet of seiners that work out of ensenada so I'm not sure if they are to blame. There is however, a picture in todays addition of el mexicano of a fair amt of confiscated illegally caught yellowfin that was seized by the local authorities.
