Not from a lack of fish we're off to a tough beginning. Stopping all night long with tons of fish on the machines catching was limited to a paltry few not from a lack of effort. The guys all put their time in but for most it was an exercise in futility. Back to the old refrain - "*%#!* Bluefin". The bastards will drive anyone mad given the time. The silver lining of the night was absolutely beautiful, flat calm weather. More coming in the forecast promises a great day to work tomorrow. We'll see if the bluefin agree. Photo today features an old friend from the distant past. Royal Star angler Bill Mang, back from a twenty some year hiatus, demonstrated that he hasn't lost his touch.
