Good evening gang, we're off once again on the hunt for any/all game-fish that we might come across in the upcoming days. Before I jump ahead of myself, we arrived this morning at 7:30 am to the dock, did the unloading procedures, refueled, and reloaded for our next 5 day adventure. Mr. Eric Rogger will be the Master of Ceremonies for the next 5 days and he brought along the usual suspects with him. With a fine group of familiar faces on-board, we departed Fisherman's Landing around 11:30 am.

We loaded up with some medium to large sardines, ate Teriyaki Chicken sandwiches on a Ciabatta bun (so good), and rigged up tackle with various hooks and jigs. Afterwards, the group either took naps, read books, or played a friendly game of cards. Our current game plan is no different from the past few trips. We will be offshore tomorrow hot on the tracks for those Albacore, Bluefin, and Yellowfin Tuna and maybe, just maybe, they'll want to come out and play a little bit. If that doesn't pan out, off to the Yellowtail grounds for hopefully some more of those tasty critters. Eric and crew have that look in their eyes and they mean business. They're ready to pull on some fish that's for sure. Eric Rogger Trip More Photos

August 7th, 2010 In closing, we're all stuffed from the standard departure dinner of hearty Prime Rib cuts and our beauty rest is next on the agenda. Our weather couldn't be better for the moment. The seas are calm as can be with a light breeze following along. So here we go. Great group of passengers - check. Healthy bait - check. Tackle ready to go - check. Lots of Tuna/Yellowtail/Dorado/White Seabass in our fish holds...to be continued. Richie and the Supremes. August 6th, 2010 Well, our morning didn't get off to quite the start we would've liked it to. To start things off, our weather traveling up last night was rather uncomfortable. We bounced around quite a bit but we made it to the grounds to find the weather was starting to get on the downhill swing. We like that. It seemed to subside throughout the day and currently our weather traveling home is quite enjoyable. Just to give you an idea of how our morning went, while filling the bait tank receivers with bait, greenhorn Chase unintentionally decided to get a closer look on the health of the center tank. Yep, he fell in, all the way to his chest. Luckily, the bait/Chase survived, but his pride definitely took a slam. Basically, it was a tough day of fishing for us today. We still see the fish scattered about but they were extremely reluctant to bite any bait with a hook attached to it. Our group hung tough today and we appreciate their good attitudes and their understanding of fishing. Sometimes they bite, sometimes they don't. That's fishing. Around noon, we called it a trip, broke down tackle, scrubbed the boat, and rushed the galley for one of our personal favorite lunches of fresh Yellowtail tacos. If there weren't any nutritional consequence to it, I'd probably eat a dozen of them. Thanks to crew member Mark's son Chase Clark for donating a couple of his Yellowtail he caught yesterday. Also, thank you to "Rent Rod" Ryan Christianson of Let's Talk Hook Up for putting together a fine group of folks and for giving away some great gifts. Our thanks also goes out to Sammy Samuelson of Be the Fish Gear for all the shirts/hats/coolie cups he passed out this trip. Like I stated earlier, our weather is much more comfortable this evening and we should make our ETA of 7:00 tomorrow morning. We'll check back in tomorrow as we embark on a 5 day expedition with Mr. Eric Rogger and his closest amigos. Take care. Richie and Crew
