Joe Crisci docked Qualifier 105 at Pt. Loma Sportfishing July 29 after a five-day charter with 18 anglers.

"Today we spent the day fishing our way home," he wrote July 28. "We found some beautiful kelp loaded with bright blue and geen dorado. The fishing was wide open and at times it seemed like a good idea to make cups, pads, and face masks a requirement to prevent the dorado from smacking us silly. The grease flat weather continued and made for ideal conditions."

Tom Tealdi of San Mateo won first place for a 35-pound yellowtail. He said it bit a sardine on a 2/0 circle hook and 30-pound P-Line. He used a Trinidad 40 reel and a Seeker 6470 Black Steel rod.

Chartermaster Ben Sleeter of El Granada swept second and third places. He got a 29.6-pound yellowtail and a dorado of the same weight.
