Weather is coming down
It was pretty choppy today, made for sloppy tacs in the trough.  Managed to put 105 fish on ice for the day.  The weather is starting to come down this evening, looks pretty nice for tomorrow.  It will be easier to follow those jumper schools around.  We have about 400 fish total so far, I will be icing in the middle bin tomorrow, it has been many trips since I got to do that!

Didn't meet our goal....again...
We started today heading south today and ended up back north. We had 82 fish for the day, still hanging around the 15lb average that we like to see.  Hoping for 136 fish tomorrow to meet our goal! Looks like weather will be coming up again so we are going to stay closer to shore so if it gets too bad we can just come in, but hopefully we will get to stay for the whole trip!

Day Two of Fishing
We have 82 fish....a bit shy of what I was hoping for.  Guess I will need at least 118 tomorrow.  Still nice size, average 15 lbs.  We are going to drive 4 hours West tonight, need to pay close attention to the weather.  We won't be to far from in shore so I will jet inside if it gets to nasty.  Still seeing a few jumper schools, water temp is good

Another Day
111 fish for today, 15 lb average.  Nice to put fish on that have some bulk to them!  The weather is going to come up a bit tomorrow. Last night was plain miserable, we all did a watch and jogged into it, it was to ruff to drift, hard on the bait.  I am going to try and stay inside 60 miles, only small craft inside.  Gale warnings out side of that.

We are out here
Made it to the spot, drove right through a jumper school as the Coast Guard radioed me, they were going to board in 20 minutes.   Dang....... So 4 CG boarded, only had one violation, an expired FCC license, easy fix.  They were on an LA Cutter called the Cutty Hunk.  So of course the "jumper school" had dissapeared.  I am going to stay put until daylight and see if they return.....I think.  There is a ship bearing down on me, gotta go!
