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!
