We departed yesterday on our Ralph Mikkelsen Big Fish Special 17-day trip with 25 anglers. The weather held on just long enough for us to load the passengers and put on a nice load of bait before the wind and rain showed up. We are currently headed south to the bank to start our trip. The seas are a bit choppy but the weather forecast shows good weather by the time we get there. Brandon did the first seminar of the trip today where he covered wahoo and wahoo safety. The gang will spend the rest of the day making leaders, putting fresh line on their reels, and just relaxing. Also, there is still room on our next trip down here, the Fishermans Pals 15-day trip on May 10th. This is a great oppertunity to enjoy the Excel with a small load of passengers since there are only 15 people booked. This was an outstanding trip last year for us on wahoo and big tuna. Call Jason at the office at (619)223-7493 and let's go fishing.
