Today we started our day at 55 miles from home. The morning was very slow with just a few jig strikes and no bait fish. There was some good fishing about 10 miles to the north of us but it was over by the time we got in the area. It is encouraging to know there is still a chance for a good stop or two in the morning.

In the afternoon we had some action close to where we caught a few fish last night. We saw lots of bait with some fish mixed in the bait balls, and so we had some jig strikes and some bait fish.

We have some first-time and inexperienced anglers aboard this trip, so our losses were high. I think we all had some fun and learned a few things. Searcher regular, Richard Yoshioka from La Palma, had a limit today so there was a chance for eeveryone to catch a fish.

We ended up with 31 albacore today and last night before dark we had 6 albacore.

Looking forward to tomorrow,
Capt Art
