This was my first trip as chartermaster and it could not have gone any better. What a pleasure to have such a great group of anglers on this trip. It was very heartwarming to see friends on this trip that I had made during my 25 years in the sportfishing business. We had a great time talking about the good old days. As far as the fishing went, Jeff could not have planned out a better course of action. The afternoon of departure we rolled down the coast a short distance and quickly put 90 nice grade Yellowtail aboard. That night we made some bait and woke up to some more good Yellowtail fishing. Mid-afternoon we started heading north so as to be in position for some Tuna. Before daylight Bluefin under the boat started biting and as you can imagine in the dark the crew had their hands full. By days end we had our daily limit. Next day, same song second verse; daily limits. Next day it was Dorado time and we were not disappointed. Some really nice grade fish. By days end it was time to call it a trip.
