"We have the pleasure of taking out one of our regular charter groups from the Curtis Rosenthal group," said the American Angler report for June 28, "led by their charter head Bob Hara. When we left the dock, the local day and a half zone was pretty scratchy. Our goal was an honest one fish per rod and that would make us happy. The signs were in our favor when we awoke to the best weather that we have had in three weeks. Our first stop right out of the gate was almost too good - it wasn't completely light and the fish were biting which made it hard to follow our lines.

"We had a couple of decent stops in the morning which set the standard for the rest of the day. There were some slow periods throughout the day, but we had steady action. We ended up the day with 78 albacore and one opah."

"Bernie Caughlin was the only one to hook up on one stop. (The fish bit a sardine on a sinker, said Lori Patella.) When we shut down on a meter mark, right away we knew it was a better fish and after a few times around the boat, we finally saw the orange glow and boated Bernie's 115-pound opah.
