Hi friends. Tough day for us here on the high seas. No sugar-coating anything today, it was a slow day. We saw multiple good schools of yellowfin but Tropical Storm John really has things screwed up down here. We only managed a few handfuls of yellowfin in the 12-35 lb. category along with a couple of nice bluefin and a few various bottom dwellers for our final tally. Like I said, no shortage of fish running around but they are just not cooperating all that well.
We're hoping for a banner day tomorrow as the weather is supposed to straighten out and be flat calm and sick hot. I was a hot little potato today even though it was rather windy and choppy. We can only hope tomorrow that it snows or something because it is going to be a scorcher. Bronzing isn't even an appropriate word for what we did today, we got down-rite ethnic with our tans today. My goodness it was hot. Speaking of hot, our team in the galley is hot. Schooler and Shawn, aka "The Dream Team" are just magnificent. Along with the world's greatest deckhand, they really are the heart and soul of this operation and I feel that it is a pleasure to not only be worthy enough to eat their creations but to also know them as people. Thank you, Schooler and Shawn, thank you for making my life so wonderful and all of the passengers too. You're so dandy and thanks for getting us fat.
Anyhow, our fingers are crossed for tomorrow and yours should be too. Pray for snow and lots of tuna. See ya.
P.S. Dennis McNeely says "LYT" to Judy, Jennifer, and Mikey.
We are continuing to see impressive schools. It seems everyday we are getting better responses out of them. Our last trip we had a good opportunity on the 60-90 pound fish, keeping 1 to 5 fish hooked for the better part of 4 hours. Getting a bite wasn’t the hard part but because we were forced to use our “finesse” gear we had to work very hard to land them. Hopefully the trend continues !
Polaris Supreme update 08-15-2012
Our day started off today in flat calm weather and high hopes that we were going to score big. We worked our water break way out to the north west away from where we have been catching most of our fish. About 20 miles away I thought "What the heck am I doing? What if they start getting them?" We made a sweeping turn out to the west and immediately found our first small paddy of the day. We were immediately rewarded with a frenzied bite of mixed yellowfin, bluefin, dorado and small yellowtail which were released. When the dust had cleared we had about 35 mixed fish. And back up to the wheelhouse and mast we all went to find another one. After about a half hour of searching and lunch time approaching , we hadn't found another one. And then of course, my worst nightmare occurred. Signs of the fish starting to bite 20 miles back where I left from. This is one of those times you wish you had a button you could push just once a trip to put you somewhere instantly.
Of course you'd probably want to push it again and go back where you
just were once you got there. That's probably why they don't make such
a devise. That and the lack of technology to do so. Anyway, off we went two hours south. Back to where we started our morning. As we arrived it turns out that only one boat had really caught much of anything and he was definitely one of those lucky guys. He had had a phenomenal day on that small grade yellowfin and bluefin. As the passengers began to break down their gear and we headed north, our day went from slow to the insane. We spent the rest of the hours until heading for home late, in a wide open bite for small yellowfin and bluefin. With the odd big yellowtail, 18 pounds or more and dorado, 15 pounds thrown in. Talk about carrying around a horseshoe and waiting until the last minute to use it. It was a fantastic topper to Eric Rogger's 28th ? or 30th long range charter with me. And also a befitting ending to Alex Crandall's last hurrah before he heads off to Afghanistan. Alex it was awesome to have you and your dad on board to spend time together. Thanks for sharing that time with us on board the
Polaris Supreme. Thanks Paula for letting them go. We will be
heading up the line and into San Diego a couple hours late tomorrow.
Somewhere around 8:00 am or so. We will report tomorrow on the jackpot fish and give you a trip wrap up.
Thanks for tuning in,
Tommy and the awesome crew of the Polaris Supreme
