We're leaving tonight on a 2 day open party trip. We're taking out a light load, about 16 anglers or so. This is going to be a great trip for the guys on board, plenty of elbow room at the rail and room to spread out in the bunk room.

Our last trip was a 1.5 day last weekend and we only had 13 Yellowtail. We found a lot of good looking water under a beautiful sky. We also came across a lot of kelp paddies. Those paddies just weren't holding many fish at the time.

The first Albacore of the year were caught on a 1.5 day trip about 90 miles out. On a 2 day trip we'll have plenty of time to go that far or more if we have to. We're definitely after Albacore and Yellowtail.

We're hoping we have good news when we return to the Landing Sunday night. Remember, you can't catch fish if you don't go fishin'.
