Driving up I 5 on the way back to Alan's fishing was fair.

Congrats! Looks like a great grade of fish!

What'd you think of the NLA? Was the food good, what about the bunks, was there lots of room at the rails and stern?????

Give me the run down as I'm very interested in fishing that boat  ;D ;D ;D ;D

The "real fish" on the trip was caught by Pete.  This trip was mostly friends from Oregon with a few from south of the border, the OR/CAL border.  Alan and Ben from the bay area and Danny from San Juan Capistrano.  Here is Pete's 314# supper cow.

Alan's former coworker and great guy Ben caught a 198# almost cow.

I understand using the rail for hard fighting fish and cow tuna.  Wayne had it down pat.  We were on the crab rock fish combo and Wayne used the rail to bring in a nice 2lb blue rock fish.  Way to go Wayne.   :D  Dominick

Dominick (Slick),

It was a 12 lbs. Lingcod I used the rail on for the final 240 feet.

Man, get it right.
