All loaded up and heading south in a few minutes. Gonna make a stop at Bob Sands to pick up a new jig stick and get fresh metered (100'sections) braid on my 60,80, and 100# reels. The bite has been getting better by the day and my expectations are high!

Had a great dinner of Dungeness crab poutine from Mitch's and did some rigging and now I'm headed to bed early. Gonna go get in line early tomorrow so I can get a good tackle spot.

I'm in line with a couple others. The previous trip got 58 tuna for 34 passengers, so a little shy of limits. Hopefully we find them quick and the daytime bite is still on...
Man I keep forgetting time zones. I'm here thinking man it's 11am he ain't on the boat yet but in fact its not 11am there.
Good luck PJ, I'm looking forward to your trip report!
good luck. just back from a 2.5d. daytime bite was very tough for our group. water in the zone 61-62. fish were not on surface so only those who got a hot bait down seemed to get bit. 20-30# small hooks. definitely bit jigs better at nite.
I tagged the coffee maker front and center!
:d Bill
The bite shut down on us...I went 1 for 4 on my bft bites. I pulled the hook on 2 and got bite off on my 100# topshot. I'm guessing the fish swallowed the entire 3 ft jig leader...A friend on the boat gave me a couple of his fish so I still came home with a bunch of fish...
Wow musta been tough out there. You'll get em nxt time.
tough bite .... :-[

Yeah all the boats that fished this past weekend had a tough go of it. Eric caught a cow at 205# and another standout was a 160# but most tuna were between 30-60 pounds....
It seems my last 2-3 trips were tough fishing so I'm beginning to think I'm cursed. You can start calling me the Count Killer or Limit Cooler!
Now to start prepping for the July 3 day!!!!
Here's a few pics from the trip...
Eric was fighting a 216# cow!
I am forecasting an epic July trip so prepare accordingly. :d
