Hi friends. I bronzed today...again. I'm practically glowing, it's madness! I look like Oprah. Everyday of this trip has been stellar weather, and I've been bronzin' ever since the bait receivers, and I can only hope that we're not going to pay for it in a couple of days when we start making our way back to San Diego. We'll see. Anyhow, the fishing today was fair. It wasn't bad, it's just that we had high hopes for wahoo and they're still eluding us to this point. Matt Herrington, Paul Briscoe, Eric Kinnicutt, and Polaris Supreme first-timer Dean Harthorn were the lucky anglers to land a "hooter" today. Dean set the standard of size to this point. Dean probably runs about five feet tall (I mean no disrespect. Dean is one of the nicest dudes around) but the wahoo he caught today dwarfs him. Wait until you guys see the photos on the website when we get in. It's a great picture and Dean was pumped. Good things happen to good people.
Our day also saw lots of releasing yellowfin tuna, tagging a couple of nice yellowtail, and Glenn Briscoe landed a true bull dorado in the thirty plus pound category. G-Man, you're truly the man, G. After landing Glenn's fish, we made the decision to make a run to the inside to see if we can't locate some wahoo elsewhere. We'll check back with you tomorrow.
Oh yeah! Before I forget, Chef Schooler and Jamie are my heroes. For dinner, they prepared a perfectly cooked tri-tip (my favorite), pepper-roasted potatoes, and corn on the cob. On any normal night, I'd be pumped but then they finished it off with a warm brownie, vanilla ice cream, caramel syrup, and pralines. Now I'm super pumped. Between my bronze and my level of pump, I look like a plump Arnold Schwarzenegger. Life is good. See ya.

I can't think of a cool way to start this report so I'm just going to say what I feel. This morning was making me a little nervous. I thought that our timing was going to be off this trip. I knew the fish weren't even close to being done for the year but for a couple of days I thought perhaps. I was wrong.
This morning we got our fish on. We were catching plenty. We started with a couple quicky stops and then had one good one. The only deal was the fish were on the small side of things. 12 pounders, few smaller, couple bigger. We were fishing them because at the time, we don't know that we'll find the better grade. What if we drive away and we never find the bigger ones or another one period? Anyways, it dried up and we went looking again. We all got stuffed from lunch and right when we were feeling that it's either nap time or get a pot of coffee brewing we found what we were looking for and we drifted until the day was done.
It was as good as we ever need fishing to be. "One stop shop" if you will. Bent rods all day and constant fish in the pit. The pit is where the fish is dragged back to get spiked, bled, and tagged before going down into refrigeration until the end of the trip. It's the busiest place on the boat during a good bite. We even had a passenger in the pit today helping out when he thought he had his limit. When I told him we were in American waters and California fish limit regulations apply he was back at the rail catching yellowfin. We had a good day.
The weather for the trip is so far so good. We're going to make a move tonight and look for that bluefin we were catching last trip.
My good friend Mr.Joe Beck would like to give a shout out to his special lady friend and wish her a happy birthday. And we from the Polaris Supreme would like to wish you the same thing. We hope you have and had a wonderful birthday. Any friend of Joey's is a friend of ours.

These darn bluefin let me tell ya. This morning looked so juicy. We drifted for hours on 3 different schools and caught 9. Hours. And it's not like they weren't hanging around. I mean the boat was jugged underneath. They were under us like shishkabob. 9 fish. We lost our fair share but 9 fish? With what we saw?
Mid day wasn't that awesome. We saw some but it didn't impress me. We messed around with some small yellows while we waited for things to straighten out. At 4 things did. Not right away. We saw the school and it took a while to get things going but eventually it did. We drifted for 2 straight hours catching fish. Not wide open. But fairly steady. 1-6 going. Action. Nice ones. After that drift we did it again. Again it took a while to get things going but again, it did. We drifted until dark on that one. About an hour. Same deal. Maybe a little less. 1-4 going. So it was an afternoon thing today. I'm sure glad we hung around for it.
So we head in now. We're departing tomorrow on a 5 day. What are we going to do?
48 yellowtail 16 barracuda 8 calico bass. Fun summer time fishing for the Dave McAdams private charter.
Captured this nice #25 Halibut today, looked at quite a bit of Yellowtail that was not biting.
