We drifted most of the morning until around 9 or so. We drifted due to us catching fish. We caught a whole lot of fish this morning. They weren't the same 20-25+ pounders we've been getting. There were a few of those, but these were about half that size. It wasn't what we were hoping for but they were still fun. The guys were having a blast. They were getting some practice at the whole tuna fishing thing, picking a good bait, where to drop in, follow your fish... And they got to use some of there tags as well.
After that we thought it would be a great idea to make a few hour run and get to San Clemente Island to catch those big yellows we caught there a couple of trips ago. In theory it sounded great, but we didn't catch very many yellows. We ended up bailing on it and looking for some bluefin that's been hanging around there. We saw one pretty good spot around there but they wouldn't bite. At dark we ended where we'll start tomorrow. Some boats had some pretty good days here today on a very good grade of yellowfin along with some of that 25-50 pound bluefin as well. Oh how I hope we can get in on some of that tomorrow.
Time will tell. Cross your fingers at home. We'll take some good luck anywhere we can.

We had bad odds today. We fished for wahoo and our fish hooked to fish landed ratio was poor. It always is with wahoo but I feel today was extra bad. I think if you're landing half of what you hook with wahoo you're doing OK. Today at best we were 1/3. At best. I called out to 2 of our anglers fishing today and asked what there ratio was for the day and I got a 1/2 and a 1/4. Then my buddy Dave came up to the wheel house and said he was 0/4. So that gives you an idea. If we would've caught half of what we hooked today we would've had a really good day.
Alright. I'm done whining. I'm still glad we came here. Everybody got there chance at a wahoo and there's still a chance for some more tomorrow. We're headed inside now and we'll be fishing for wahoo while we're looking for tuna first thing tomorrow morning. The weather now is fantastic. A little weird this morning with mixed swell and a wind coming from the southwest but it's beautiful now.
We couldn't come to an agreement on a price for someone to wear Mark's shirt today. Justin wanted 200 and Mike said he'd do it for 150 but I couldn't find enough people to chip in. It was a good one too. He was wearing a white shirt today, so by 9:00 this morning he could've entered a wet t-shirt contest. He may have won too if you're into guys like Mark.
