The "Gaviota IV", with Captain Octavio Castillo, reporting in for 4 fishing days, reflected 6 dorado, 1 sailfish, 8 stripers released and 22 yellowfin tuna. Overall combined fish counts for 32 days fished reflected 28 stripers, (25 released) 2 sailfish, (1 released) 2 wahoo, 125 dorado and 164 yellowfin tuna. While much of the tuna were in the school fish ranges, 12-25 lbs., there were some mixed, larger fish that weighed in near the 100 lb. mark.
