We departed Fisherman's Landing around 10pm with fat albacore on everyone's wish list. Captain Robert "Beesco" Foster informed us that the day before a nice patch of fish was located about 60 miles out, which meant we wouldn't have as long of a boat ride, and we would get more time to fish. We started fishing before sunrise, but nothing wanted to chew. This was the case for most of the day--troll, troll, stop on a school, then troll some more. The weather was very nice, so that did help. Here is a picture of us on the troll.

Here is one of our deckhands, Matt, relaxing. We didn't get any jig strikes today, but we were fortunate enough to have good weather.

We departed about 15 minutes early. The fish are at 90 miles so we had to get a move on. Captain Terry and the crew were ready to go. The fishing in San Diego has been slow but it looks like conditions have improved. I am very excited to go Albacore fishing.

Here I am with my first albacore of the day. I actually lost the first one I caught but I tossed back out and caught one. I finished the first stop with 2 albies.

Here is Brantley Myers from Reno, NV with an Albacore. We had a bunch of first timers on this trip. I have a feeling that most of them are going to get a fish today. The conditions are looking real good. During the day we saw almost the entire San Diego fleet.

Here is a Christine from Bakersfield, CA with her first ever Albacore. A nice big one too. The grade of the Albies this year has been exceptional.

Here is Alex Jenkins with her first ever Albie. Nice job Alex!

Here is my buddy Bob O'Neil! He caught two on one stop. For the most part the stops were short but productive. Not until later in the day did we start getting longer stops.

My sister is back. She fished very well today finishing the day up with LIMITS! Nice job sister!

Here is Cody Dee from Moorpark, CA with his first ever Albacore. What do you think about that Cody?

Here is Cody Dee with his second Albacore. Cody finished the day up with 4 Albacore. Not bad for your first trip. Good luck next baseball season. I hope Moorpark wins it all!

Mike is back! Thanks for coming it has been a long time since you joined us. Oh yeah, nice Albacore too!

Alex had a great day. She won the JP and caught 3 fish over 40 pounds. Nice job Alex! I hope to fish with you again!

Angel got in on the action too! Angel be sure to tell Angel II thanks for the cervezas.

Here is my nephew Ryne Intelkofer with his first ever Albacore. This baby fights better than that barracuda you caught right?

The Sea Adventure crew did an outstanding job. Thanks Ed for teaching my first timers how to catch and cooperate amongst each other. Oh yeah, and thanks for the great food. Terry did a great job and so did the deckhands including Dominic. I really like this group and I would strongly recommend this vessel if you are considering having your own charter.

We did catch a lot of Albies too!

Most of the sacks were full. We did have a few people who did not catch the LIMIT. All in all we had a great time!

Thanks to all the first timers!

We arrived back at port at around 8:30 PM. The crew really worked hard for us. I want to thank Chuck and Deanna Taft for being one of my favorite sponsors. We had a great time and it looks like our trips are getting better and better with the Sea Adventure.

FISH COUNT: 19 Anglers caught 62 Albacore and 1 Bluefin Tuna.

This was the start of the day for Mark and everytime I turned around he was on in the BOW.

Here is Mark's nice bloody albie

Here is 9 year old Sky with a fish he put the wood to. Deckhand Jeff is standing wishing he was fishing too.
