(June 27) "?Ķat Alijos Rocks was just what we where looking for after the action-packed three days we spent on the inside; nice steady scratch fishing on yellowfin tuna in the 40 to 120-pound class from mid morning until early evening. This trip has shown our group of passengers pretty much all aspects of the long range experience and yesterday did not disappoint us filling out the final dimensions with??good kite fishing for most of the afternoon.

"With the reports from here being on the slow side we did not have high expectations coming out, we were looking for a few quality fish to settle the jackpot and take the coveted Seeker Rod trophy which will go to the angler this trip that catches the largest fish on a Seeker Rod. We where very pleased to find action on quality Alijos Rocks Yellowfin Tuna. As it stands this morning, the bar is set at approximately 120 pounds if someone is going to take that Seeker trophy away from Jim Odlum who landed a beautiful kite fish mid day yesterday.

"The final fishing time we have will be spent here at Alijos Rocks trying for more of this nice grade of yellowfin tuna?? to complement our nice load of variety and quality fish already on-board, we will be depart after lunch today and start our 468 mile voyage toward home. I will report our final days fishing experience and the progress of our northern journey tomorrow morning, wish us luck on our final fishing day of this long range adventure."

The Rooster is on a Seeker trip with skipper John Grabowski. Bill Casper Jr. is the chartermaster. The boat is due back at H&M Landing on Saturday morning.
