OHANA WEST PORT ALBACORE!!!

[current situation]

Well I finally got on this page to look at bluefin/san diego stuff as I'm hitting my first trip ever in November and everyone is excited about albacore. 

50-60 braid to a top shot of 30lb fluorocarbon is all you need for bait rods.  Dwight may have a different program for you.  Would maybe suggest you wait or ask to see how long he may want your top shots.  I run a 6 pack (same float as Dwight)(you'll see my boat...it looks out of place in Washington).  I don't mind people bringing their own gear but I try to match top shot lengths for when we start the tuna dance. 

Wish you guys luck. We've been having some pretty great days on the water and if anyone is gonna get into the fish it will be the Tornado.

 We've already clarified that Dwight uses 50# 8 strand (please don't bring a reel with 60#) and he will gladly tie on top shots for anyone bringing their personal rod/reel.

  ....and Dwight uses 25# flouro for his top shots. If anyone shows up with 30# top shot, expect it to be replaced with 25

I am just bringing my Albacore special with mono 30lb test. He can tie on the 25lb leader on to that. No need to have anything heavier.

Bringing loads of Karma for the trip.

Found a lady's wallet at the Safeway parking lot with multiple $100 bills in.

She was at the customer service counter hoping someone turned it in when I walked up.

Fishing was great yesterday.  You guys will have a blast. 

If you walk by my boat...yes my engines are dirty.  Just realized we forgot to clean them.  Too busy trying to get all the tuna blood off the boat.

Wayne sent this photo by text and asked me to post it on the site.  He had just arrived at Ted Measor's place.  You now have a face to put on one of the most knowledgeable and generous members on the site.  Dominick
