Here we go again. Arrive/depart today. Off with the old, out with the new. 5 days. That's how long we have on this one. 5 days. Weather forecast looks terrific for at least the next few days so that's wonderful. We have another first for me this trip. Before this trip I have never loaded up with straight mackerel for bait. Other than the last trip but that was a 1.5 day trip. This is long range. Straight mackerel. That's 3 top tanks, and 2 big slammers full below deck. All full of mackerel. So this will be interesting. It looks like great yellowtail bait. Not great for chumming but great for catching the yellows, and I'm sure the bluefin will eat them too, just not as well as the sardine. Oh well. It is what it is. We'll just make lemonade, that's all.
So to start things off tomorrow we will be fishing for those yellowtails. And most likely, we'll be doing that for the next couple of days before getting in the hunt for the blues. Action. We want action. Wish us luck.

Hi friends. We just finished up breaking down tackle, scrubbing/freshwater rinsing the tackle, scrubbing the boat, cleaning the upper deck, and putting fresh line on the handout tackle for our 6-day trip tomorrow. With all the chores completed, I'll give everyone a rundown of our daily events.
The bluefins eluded us today. Well, they eluded our sonar, fathometer, our baits, our hooks, etc. You name it, and they eluded it. We did see plenty of fish but they were all scattered out all over the place. Jumper here, jumper there, single sonar pop here, single sonar pop there. Absolutely no substance to any of it. Very frustrating to say the least. Our tuna count was nothing to write home about but we had a backup plan that we worked to perfection.
After getting the slip from the BFT, we managed to locate numerous kelps and had ourselves a couple of good stops on some Yellowtails to salvage the day. The gang had a rollicking good time and we ended our trip on a high note. Speaking of high notes, our sea conditions were once again fan-freaking-tastic today. The wind, mist, and chilly air kept us bundled up but it burnt off by lunch and we got in a mini bronzing session.
So that was our day in a low cholesterol peanut shell. We went the distance for the gang today and are burning the midnight oil. We stayed out late for Archie and company and our ETA for tomorrow will be 0900 hours. We'll be turning around for a 6-day adventure and we will be guided under the stong hands of Drew "Strong Hands" Henderson.
Take care. Fillet Mignon, crab, holandaise, asparagus, and mashed potatoes are calling our names. See ya.
