Congrats Paul,
After you left the ridge we continued with no hits. We moved further northeast, found plenty of whales and birds but no takers.
We continued our troll up and across the shipping lane, same result. Wasn't my weekend for bluefins.

Thanks Swampy -

Yeah Will, wasn't feeling the love with tuna, figured we'd change up @ 0700 for our tri-club fluke tourney. Several shorts were caught here and there, too many 4" sea robins @ GSN and a sea bass for Freddy @ The Tires.

That Albi on the left has my homemade in it jaw. smile

Fish Hawks came in 2nd without any contribution from us. 14 hrs day on the water.

Successful sea trial tho, for man & machine. Only difference is...Fred and the boat got some sleep before pushing off.

Had sesame seared that albacore tonight, great dish.
