Justin Fleck brought Excel home to Fisherman's Landing August 20. He tied the boat off, unloaded and weighed the fish on the certified scales at the top of the dock. "We're getting high speed internet on the boat today," said Justin. This should help us to get our reports out.

Chartermaster Brad Merritt remarked, "Justin and the crew got us on the fish. Yesterday we had to leave 'em biting."

Wayne Wilcox of Downey won first place for a 28.2-pound yellowtail. There were bigger yellowfin and bluefin in the catch but those who caught them failed to enter the jackpot. Wayne got his with a Fish Trap swim bait in red and green, on 30-pound Izorline, a Triton 15 reel and a Calstar 6465 H rod.

Erik Johnson of Benicia won second place for a 25.9-pound yellowfin tuna, and Aaron Lerer of San Diego won third place for a 25.2-pound yellowtail.
