Well this day has to start with last night. During and after dinner the military helicopters were up and they were blowing up San Clemente and it was rad. We could see the tracers which were very bright and flew just as fast as the 5 rounds in between each tracer with about each strafing run having about 12 tracers per, which is over 100 rounds. We could see the glow of each tracer bouncing off the island. And after we thought it was cool enough we went to bed.
In the morning we started fishing. We had a little action. We basically drifted for a couple hours hooking fish. Sometimes we had one going, sometimes we had four, and sometimes we had none but for some reason it didn't add up to as much as we would've thought. We were losing alot and we attributed that to the hammer head sharks that were swimming around. We think that they were stealing a lot of the tuna we hooked. When that dried up we went searching and a little after 10:00 we found a dandy school and went sideways(drifted) for a while. I'd have to call it almost wide open for about 1/2 an hour and then a pick for 15 minutes after that. During lunch we were drifting on tuna too but we weren't hooking a whole lot. We only caught about six that time. And after that the life vanished so we moved on.
It took a couple hours but we found what we were looking for. Tuna. Unfortunately they were the non biting ones. I'll tell you though, it was a sight to see. Sonar schools, breezers, boilers, foamers. You name it, it was awesome. We did get a couple descent drifts there in the end and all and all we're calling this a very successfully trip.
We'll be dockside until Oct. 3. You guys didn't book. My babies going to have to wear hand me down shoes now. All of her friends are going to make fun of her. Oh well. We"ll get through it. We'll do a little maintenance on the boat while we're in but we don't need to do much. The boats been running great as soon as we got rid of those early season gremlins. See you all Oct. 3rd.

The bluefin were a no go again today. We once again saw plenty of schools, they just don't bite. We ended up picking up 3 60-80 pounders. I wanted at least 3 to make jackpot easier, unfortunately for an easy jackpot but fortunately for a Mike Grella, 2 of them were caught by the same man and no one person can take more hen one place. We'll just have to weigh a bunch of those wahoo. We scratched at the yellowfin all day long. In the afternoon we were seeing straight schools of it but it wouldn't bite too well. One at a time. Anyways, the fat lady has sung. We are on the way to the barn all fat and happy. It's been a great trip. Lots of wahoo, yellows and tuna. Tommy will be coming back out for 5 days and I'll be going home. Ever since my wife went back to work I only get to see her and my daughter on the weekends that we're in for the morning and for the last month that's only been once so I'm looking forward to spending some time with them and watching some NFL,
eating some bluefin and wahoo and relaxing. See you all in 5 days.

Here we go again. This time for 4 days. Tough decision for me today. Do i make a left or a right? As always, they both have there advantages and disadvantages, but in the end, one outweighed the other. So I made a left. I hope I made the right decision Good timing is everything. We're bombing her down below. We've been flying down all day and night and we"ll be fishing after lunch tomorrow. One of the boats caught some tuna down this way today and we're going to try and get in on some of that. We should have good weather for the trip as long as the forecast holds true. We're hoping for lots of fish the next couple days. I could use the pressure release.
