Howdy anglers, Today was a walk down memory lane to get the familiar feelings of fishing for longfins back to what it was last year. This was my first trip at the wheel this year and we all had a fun time. To start the trip we had a great load of sardines for bait and then the weather was like a lake all day. My water bottle never moved on the dash-that’s how nice the weather was. Shortly after daybreak the first longfin hit the deck and it kept up that pace for most of the morning. It was like regulation albie fishing: meter marks, jig strikes, followed up by bait fish. After morning was through, all the boats in the area had a bit of a lull and then it picked up again in the afternoon. Once again back to routine jigstrikes and followed by bait fish. We are all happy and headed to Fishermans Landing with a nice catch of albacores, and also managed to convince a finicky bluefin to bite today. The bluefin sign is still very plentiful but just not interested in what we have to offer. But we’re all hoping that when those bluefin do decide to bite, there’s enough around to make some good catches. Tip of the day-When the weather is calm and very little wind, the boat doesn’t move as much, so spreading out makes the tangles less. Good luck and hope to see ya on the wate, Capt Aaron
