this is going to be my third trip ever on a charter boat other than the spirit of adventure. the only other boats were the intrepid once, and the royal polaris once. i get to fish with steve carson from penn. really looking forward to this. i'm going by myself, no charter master responsibilities, not even another guy to have to rig up. the weather is going to be mostly calm the entire time. lots of big fish in the few reports that i've seen. stay tuned!!
Have a great trip Alan!
Have fun!
Good for you! Enjoy your getaway!
Go get 'em Boss! RP is getting some tanker Yellowfin right now, be a good warmup for your Marla's trip! - john
Catch 'em up Alan! Hope you have great weather and a great bite.
Was eyeing this trip, setting up to be a stellar one!
Have fun Alan! It's a great feeling to only have to worry about your own gear and agenda.... hope you catch all the fish
Just gassed up in lost hills. Decided to let myself sleep in 2 hours. Was on the road by 6:45 instead of 5am. Been an easy drive so far.
Go get'm Alan!
You gonna stop by the SOA office while you're down there and decide on the 26 dates?
You didn't get very far, how many miles to the gallon does your vehicle get? Dominick
Ah, my second wife. All alone.
Have fun boss nan.
Cheers
Todd

And yet you're cheating on her!
Lining up!
Skunked today. I got 3 wahoo on a bomb two days ago, 4 rat yellowfin yesterday, and zip today. Beautiful sunset, though.
Always have tomorrow Alan. Hope the weather is alright.
I suspect there are tuna in your future! - john
3 wahoo on bombs for day one. 4 small yellowfin on day 2. We also stopped for small yellowtail, but I slept through it. Then skunked yesterday and skunked so far today.
The air filters on the boat had not been changed in a long time. I think it set off my allergies. I was pretty wiped out on day two. The crew changed out the air filters and I was a million times better. I guess it could have been a 24 hour flu bug, but when I catch a cold or flu, I'm typically sick for weeks.
Skunked on yellowtail this morning. Got another shot in two hours.

Sounds like our November 10 day.... :0(
Hang in their Boss and bring some of that sun back with you!
It's miserable here, week four of constant fog and temps not even reaching 45. We'd rather be getting skunked with you all than deal with this weather.

Nobody likes a weather gloater but its been pretty sunny just up the road in Auburn every day. Nice right now too. If you need some sun its only 15 minutes away, keep it a secret.

Joel,
The wife and I went to Apple Hill a couple weeks ago to get a tree...we saw and more importantly felt the sun!
Didn't realize you were local, let's meet at Knee Deep and have a beer!
Hope the Boss is catching fish.
Merry Christmas
