"We departed Pt Loma a little after noon yesterday on the 19th A.H.I. trip for 7 days," read the report on the Internet. "We spent yesterday prepping gear with morning albacore in mind. At first light, Capt Joe sent the word to put in the troll jigs. It was only a few minutes and hook up! We hooked a couple of the right kind. We ended up with a few fish and went back to trolling.

"We saw kelp a little later and after a trip around it with trolling gear out, we hooked a troll fish, a yellowtail. With a couple of baitfish, we split. That was about it for the day. We decided to head south a little after lunch.

"Tomorrow we are going to be at our destination and we have high hopes for what is awaiting us. Our group is a mix of people from all over the state and a couple guys from Minden, Nevada. We also have some first-timers on board and are eager to catch them some fish."
