Westport Albacore - August edition

[Ryan W]

Hey everyone! I have booked the Swifty out of westport for an albacore trip August 15th thru the 17th. Generally weather is better/more reliable in august.  The swifty is ran by Capt. Dwight of the Tornado's brother (Capt. Mike) and they work together extensively. Gameplan will be to locate the fish via trolling and then switch over to live bait fishing with anchovies. Trip is limited to 10 people, plenty for a 60 foot boat!

We will meet friday at 6pm and come back sunday at either 6am or 4pm depending on fishing. The boat will provide bait/rods/hooks but not food or bedding. There's a microwave and coffee pot, we usually bring easy-to-reheat stuff (burritos/leftovers, ect). Crew will cut fish on the way home for $4 per fish.

Price is $960 including tip, but not fish cleaning. Please PM/email me to get on the list. Last year we whacked and stacked 'em- 175 real chunkers in a day for 10 guys.  Will post a few pictures from last year's trip.

Currently the list:

1) Ryan
2) Ryan's friend Albert
3) Kalifornia Steve
4) Ted
5) Mike McGhee

5 Spots left!

Getting close to KILL TIME!

Can't wait to put some flappers on the deck and turn it red.

Ryan said he filled the boat, who else from AT.com is going?

[Gfish]

Yellowtails and most other fish are "flappers" to me. Tuna seem to almost vibrate like they're electro-shocked on the deck. Yeah, they seem to have more blood in their bodies than fish from other family's.

We are a go! See everyone at 7pm

 Go getum boys !!

 Dwights brother Michael is a fish killing machine, and the swifty is a sweet boat, with bigger bunks. Mikey has fish blood running thru his veins, same as his brother Dwight and their dad, who is also still a charter boat Capt

Hit me up when you book and I'll see if I can talk the Boss into it! Sure I can talk Ryan into it tooas well.

Well, it's been an adventure to get here, but we're all accounted for.

Weather is not cooperating, lots of rain and wind, but the captain says we'll be leaving at 0200.

Here are some photos I took. Naturally it stopped raining to prove me wrong.
