Day 2

Weather is a bit sloppy, Taryn prefers to go with it on the tack but we have to turnaround at some point....Sorry T.  We have 74 tuna on board so far today,  Weather comes up on Friday and worse on Saturday.  Really hoping I run out of ice by then but the scores are going to have to pick up!!!!!

Trip 1, Day 1
We have 36 fish on, they are pretty good size, 16-17 pounders.  They aren't biting like I would hope, water temp is pretty cold. I have been throwing live bait over and I can get them to boil behind the boat but they won't go for the hooks.  We are about 80 miles off shore, weather is a bit sloppy, Taryn is not to fond of the rolling around but she is doing a great job.  She has been pulling fish and iceing.  Some boats have 70 or more fish on so far but no one is really wackin em.  Oh!!!!! fish on, and another one!!!  Yes, looks like we just drove over a good sized school, gotta go pull some fish, lets hope they are hungry!!!!!!

Time to Catch some Tuna!!!!
Well........we finally are on our way to the tuna grounds.  The weather came down a bit so Taryn and I loaded up on groceries, ice, and fuel.  We also stopped in Ilwaco and got some live bait, crossed the Columbia Bar about 4 o'clock.  We will drive all night, should be there about 3 or 4 am, just in time for the morning bite!!

Didn't make it out!
I got to the boat and listened to the weather.......again and again...   Tough decision but I don't fish gale winds, never have and don't want to start my season that way..  W e are on standby, waiting for the weather to improve
