Captain Bob has been at another round of Pacific Fishery Management Council meetings this week, taking more time away from our business doing what he can to try to protect recreational rockfishing along the North Central California coastline so that we can all have the opportunity to enjoy the great fishery we are so lucky to be graced with just offshore. Next time you come fishing with us, make sure to thank Bob for all the time he's put in to attend these meetings and reading through the mountains of paperwork while at the same time paying others to take over his position at the helm. He's not in these meetings for any glory, but a thank you every once in a while sure goes a long way to letting him know what he's doing is appreciated. I'm sure you've noticed that my reports were missing the last couple of days, too, primarly because most of my info comes from talking to Bob on the cell off and on during the day. So, I don't have much info about this week, but here's the summary of the last couple of days: the weather today on Friday was described as absolutely beautiful and just got better as the day went on. They fished at the deep end of the waters we're allowed to fish and scored some fantastic quality rockfish, with a combined score of at least five dozen big vermillions and coppers. No lingcod on this trip because this was big rockfish territory, not lingcod territory. By just a little after 1:00 they were heading home with 36 limits of quality fish. Our charter yesterday was a gang that joined us from Kansas on a couple-week-long vacation, and their goal was to catch some fish and have a fish fry when they got back to the dock. And that's exactly what they did. Hope they enjoyed themselves, even though the Pacific Ocean wasn't the kindest on their flatland tummies. Wednesday was a tough one; the first drop of the day produced two big brownies right off the bat and it looked like they were in 'em, but it was a slow pick all day to end up with a little over half limits and four lingcod. I'd like to end by thanking our two relief captains, Randy and Joe, for taking time off of their jobs to cover for Bob so he could attend this week's meetings. As always, you both put your heart and soul into catching fish and taking care of our customers, and it is greatly appreciated. Finding good captains that really care are hard to find, and we're glad we have you on the team. Last but not least, Happy Father's Day to all you Dads...I'm gone for the weekend; look for my next update on Monday.
