We started out albacore fishing in beautiful weather. Right off the bat things looked as good as it gets. We saw a pretty good-sized spot of albacore jumping around, but never got there. In our first stop they were showing all around the boat and biting pretty good. After we landed about three handfuls of fish, we started the hunt. For the next hour there were fish jumping and showing on the fish-finding equipment with regularity. At about 9 o'clock somebody flipped the switch. The whole fleet spread out and there was not even a scale to be found. The rest of the day we toughed it out for only a few more fish. We would like to thank Harry Yamada and all of our beloved regulars for welcoming the newcomers.

Once again, the group camaraderie is what made the trip.
