we were supposed to have 2 knots of wind and virtually no swell all morning, but that was not the case.

we were headed out to marv's numbers from yesterday, 30/30, and dropped them in 2 miles short when the water temps took a big jump. 5 minutes later we were rewarded with a double. we stayed in the general area all day and ended up with 6 fish.

poor yumiko got pretty seasick, but hung in there. it was definitely alot rougher than i would have anticipated.

it was a rough trip for allison and yumiko, but dinner seem to make it all worthwhile!

Rough conditions, but you still did good Alan. Too bad for Yumiko, but looks like she was back in good shape by dinner time.
Thanks for sharing...I got to get on that boat one day.

Nice.
Rough?

couldn't have asked for anything more... :)
Nice Alan. glad you guys got out. Not bad for a late start.
I keep reading these Albi reports out of SC and the canyon, makes me want out there so bad. I bet I could eat two Albi to myself, sashimi. Cold Sapporo and I would be in heaven.
Are any charter boats running trips down there. I'd gladly pay $200 for a chest full of white tuna
A great day Alan, despite the conditions - well done.
Cheers, Justin
PS Cracker pic Lee ;) ;D
Joel, there are several 4 and 6 pack boats running but many are all booked. Search the internet and call around. There's gotta be an opening somewhere...you'd think.

That's called flat water out of Trinidad, Calif. ;D ;D
Nice reward for the outing. You'll get Yumiko all trained up as a deck hand before she heads home. ::)
