Hi friends. We didn't make too good of speed running up the line last evening so we weren't able to spend our last couple hours trying to catch a Halibut and/or a Seabass. All we did today was enjoy a nice day of travel relaxing, napping, or watch DVD's. The evening's final meal (Fillet Mignon & Lobster) was a hit as usual as was the bottles of wine and the photo slide show of the trip. Thank you to Mr. Robin Gledhill and his entire cast of fine gentlemen for once again choosing the Polaris Supreme as their operation for enjoying 4 days of fishing, fun, and camaraderie. We'll see you guys next year. Blue & White Gang for more photos

Friday, August 20th, 2010 Our weather for the moment is fine. Not a whole lot of wind but there is a little bit of a swell that rolls us around every so often. We're currently making proper speed and we'll be at the docks tomorrow morning at promptly 5:30 am. Thanks for checking in and have a great night. Richie and the Polaris Supremes'. Thursday, August 19th, 2010 Good evening everyone. Our first full day down here got started not-so-bright and very early with the boys trying to snag some greenies to use on dropper loop rigs. We caught a few, immediately sent them right back where they came from, and proceeded to instantly hook large Yellowtail. We continued to follow this program until we ran out of mackerel but we still had plenty of sardines/surface jigs to throw at em' and we had no problem hooking large Yellow's on those as well. All the fish we caught this morning were "premiums" with the smallest one being about 28 lbs. It was a fine pace to work with as we would keep 1-4 going at all times. The breaking fish 360 degrees around the boat would suggest that it would be wide open "all hands (Barry & Schooler) on deck" type action but like I said, we were just fine with the steady action they provided to us here on the Supreme. Things started fading out towards lunch time so we decided to look elsewhere and it didn't take us too long to locate some more fish. We tried some anchor jobs, made some drifts, and added a few more of that stock (14-20 lbers) grade to our day's tally, at least what we could get past the seals. Rather annoying to deal with but all in all, we are very happy with our day. Today's mix of fish was more like 70/30 trophies to school-size fish and today's mix of weather was 100/0 warm, breeze-less sunshine to cool, breezy cloud cover. Sweet. So we closed the book on another stellar stay down here at the ole' Yellowtail grounds and we're making our way up the line to spend a couple hours in the morning trying for Halibut before we have to race for home. So that's our plan and hopefully everything works out. The guys are all in excellent spirits and everyone's looking forward to a good night's rest. We'll report back to you tomorrow and from all here on the Polaris Supreme, enjoy your Friday. We're out. Richie and the Supremes'. Wednesday, August 18th, 2010 Good evening friends. Our first full day aboard the Polaris Supreme on Robin Gledhill's Blue & White charter was no different from our past few trips. We traveled throughout the night in A+ weather and awoke this morning to the same weather along with a million dollar sunrise. Standard protocol for our passengers this morning goes as followed; Eat breakfast, finish rigging up tackle, and relax in the sunshine. Can't beat that. As for the crew, we did some routine maintenance jobs to ensure that the Polaris Supreme is running in tip-top condition all while Chefs' David/Barry prepared a Pollo Asada feast for lunch. With lunch out of the way, the gang awaited with anticipation to do battle with the mighty Yellowtail. Arriving to the spot right at 12:30 this afternoon, we found the conditions were not the most prime we've seen so it was going to take some time to get things dialed in. We hit numerous breezers of Yellow's but they weren't all that cooperative so we kept on rolling to where we felt we would have the best shot at some trophies. We picked and scratched at the stock grade fish all afternoon but once the early evening time graced us, it was the big boys who came out to play. We finished our day with a nice flurry on that nicer grade of fish and we felt we put together a fine score for a half-days fishing. When it was all said and done, we had about a 50/50 mix of 14-18 lbers and 22-35 lbers. Not a bad way to start things off. To make our day just that much better, the weather was once again A+. Thanks to Robin for making sure all of us were properly hydrated and properly coated with sun block. Just another example of the gracious doings our passengers share with us here on-board the Polaris Supreme. In closing, our plan for the future is to kick the anchor over the side tonight and try to catch some Mackerel to use for bait. Rumor has it that the "greenies" are the preferred bait of choice in this particular spot. Of course we'll be dropper loopin' for Yellow's and White Sea Bass (hopefully) while we're here and when the morning arrives, we'll go from there. Have a good night, chat with y'all tomorrow. Signing off from the bridge of the Polaris Supreme, Richie and Crew. P.S. Mr. Richard Emerson, if you're reading this, thank you for the shirts. Tuesday, August 17th, 2010 Good afternoon folks. Here we are. Back in the saddle departing on our 3rd annual Blue & White 4 day adventure. Our master of ceremonies this trip is none other than Mr. Robin Gledhill and once again he's put together a fine group of friends to share the rail with. Before I get ahead of myself, I'll fill you in on our morning activities. The boat tied up at Fisherman's Landing right on schedule at 5:45 this morning and unloaded a beautiful/ bountiful catch of Yellowtail. A lot of toads were gently pulled from our RSW well and loaded gracefully into the carts. Always love seeing those beauties roll on up from the boat to the scales. Top 3 big fish honors went to Bob "Ice Cream Man" Hagan 37.8 lb. Yellowtail, Mark Miller 36.4 Yellowtail, and last but certainly not least Mike Hagan 35.6 lb. Yellowtail. Congratulations gentlemen and thanks again to Ron Heil and company for being a fine group of passengers for us to serve once again. It was and always will be our pleasure. So onto the fuel dock for a top off on fuel and a freshwater rinse, back to the dock to load groceries, and before you know it. Bam, here comes the Blue & White gang ready for 4 days of fun in the sun (hopefully). After a stop at the bait receivers for a prime load of sardines, we cleared Point Loma at 10:45 and made our way into the galley for a first since I've been on-board the Polaris Supreme - turkey burgers. Thanks to Robin for the meal request because I would've never ordered one myself. I must admit, they were pretty darn good. It goes to show that trying new things can be a wonderful surprise...sometimes. So there you have it. We're on our way to the majestic land where big, hungry Yellowtail live to start off our trip and after that, who knows. With our quick turnaround, we got an early start and we'll arrive at our destination in the middle of the day. We are currently loving every second of our weather and we wish for it to continue for the remainder of the trip. With the bow directed towards greater points south and the breeze at our stern, we say farewell and we'll report back to you tomorrow evening. Richie and the 5-Star crew of the Polaris Supreme.
