A little lighter subject matter today as I got a good laugh from one of the photos I am forwarding. Three shots today, one of the master Steve Kimbrough with his 220 subdued in the scoop, one of master machinist Cal Sheets and Capt. Brian Sims hamming it up in a rather original ale endorsement, and the final shot detailing some of the tuna's diet we flushed from a captured tuna for evaluation. This is another one of those shots that I already sent, but is worth another look at full resolution. As you can see the opportunistic feeding habits of tuna's lead to a wide variety in their diet. In this quick study we found remnants of puffer fish, some kind of lancet fish and/or snake mackerel, small mesopelagic fin fish we call lantern fish (probably incorrectly), various squids, and even a few legs from pelagic red crabs. This is a pretty good example of what tuna feed on around the Revillagigedo islands.

Otherwise time marches on as we countdown the days before we are up and running again full time. For any and all interested we have a handful of spots open on the first weekend two day departing Friday, May 14th, returning Sunday, May 16th. I believe the eight day on May 28th still has a few spots available, and the June 21st - June 26th five day is wide open. The five day will go with the number of anglers presently on the books, but it has plenty of space yet available. At $1295.00 all inclusive, at that time of year, it is an incredible value that in all likelihood will not be seen again due to sharp increases in all expenses. If you have the time to squeeze a trip in, this is a great opportunity.

As I mentioned yesterday, give us a call in the office if you have any questions. Capt. Brian Sims and I will be manning the phone for the next couple of days as well as the first part of next week. This is a great time to call and talk shop or have any inquiries addressed by the guys that actually get out there and do it. With all the blogging that goes on these days I know the idea of conversation with a live individual has become somewhat daunting. But, I urge you to try it. Imagine how refreshing dialogue with individuals who are eager to share knowledge can be. Especially accredited individuals with history and experience validating the opinions, advice, and knowledge we freely offer. We hope to hear from you.

Have a great day!
