The American Angler returned from the annual James Hardware Gang charter this morning - early. They had absolutely the best albacore fishing of the season. A huge thanks to David Samarin for once again organizing this trip and to Dan Shubin for putting together the special menu and food items.

The group would like to send out a thank you to the following people for their generous donations - Tim Campbell of Swifty Manufacturing, Jeff Jost of Albakore, Ben Seacrest and the rest of the folks from Accurate and to their good compadre Brett Rankin of Eagleclaw hooks - Hope you feel better." The boat got away early with the yearly Stan Chin/Little Tokyo trip. There will be lot of sushi on this one, with owner, Toyomi Koshu, of Little Tokyo onboard! Check back for the first report tomorrow night!
