Very nice Tim. Where is everyone else?

Tim was all alone?  It must have been like a ghost ship?

Very nice Tim. Where is everyone else?

I'm sure there will be plenty more pics? Or maybe it was a Ghost ship  Fantastic time again.  Thanks Alan and the SOA crew.

We all ate too much, drank too much, caught lots of fish and will do it all again!

Clearly a terrific time was had by all... as expected!   

Did you luck into any tuna, or was it straight YTs?

Had a great time. YT's were not wide open like last year, but we still managed a respectable haul. Didn't stop for tuna....straight to Cedros.
Someone else will have to post pics, I left my camera at home.
Made it back to S Ga about 5 PM west coast time. It was a humid 103 degrees when I landed in ATL.
Good fishing, good food, and great fellowship.

No Tuna, but I got a nice Bonita that was made into sashimi...Very nice!

It was windy and fairly rough on Monday heading south so we didn't make good time. We arrived at Cedros late on Tuesday afternoon. There was no sign of Tuna on the way down. One White Sea Bass and 2 YT were caught on the dropper loop at Cedros by 14 year old Matty when we arrived on Tuesday evening. We had a total of 12 YT that day. Most YT came at San Benitos like last year with a bunch at the boiler by San Martin on Friday morning.

Tim's Bonito was big, I'd guess pushing 10#. I was resting and playing on my iPad in my room and missed the Sashimi!

Sara, at 5 Star, said 11 Yellowtail were being allocated per person so we did pretty good. I just took 4 whole ones and hit the road. I was home by 8:30am.

Georgia Mike, aka Peaches, does like his "Turkey Sammiches"!

Can't wait to read the stories and see the pictures.  Looks like it was an excellent trip.
