well mission accomplished

we left and headed out to the tanner

outside of clemente we started to see puddlers and metering lots of bait hung a few 20lb yft's as we headed west it started to get really lumpy maybe 8 to 12 and it picked up to blowing 15-20+ out of the sw
headed back in ti sci.

spent 2 nights and a day killing time until it laid down

headed back out and it was really nice

saw lots of nice strippers big ones 170 -200lb range and schooling in 20-30 fish schools

paddy's weren't big producers on the troll

water was nice purple 68-75

headed to the south end of the tanner and started seeing schools of little dorado

thousands

between the 9 of us fishing on 2 boats we must have hooked 300 of them in less than 3 hours every cast on iron or chunks instant just like the trout farm
we kept 4 of the biggest buddies did about the same big ones were in the 12-20 range but 9 out of 10 went below a nickel

kept heading out towards the garret and found our tuna
nice spots of 30-50 lb yellowfin
daily limits in a few hours
latter on about sunset we picked up a boat heading our way on radar
it was the fish and game expected the cg

no harm no fault

asked what fish we had and if we had current license's we did, never checked our catch
really wondered what they were doing 120 miles off the beach

friday headed up towards the cortez

was like marine land foamers off and on all morning

hooked a couple of nice bft on the troll dorado hex heads 2 were tuff guys

farmed 1 and snapped the hook on the big one saw it i few times and it was 200+but who cares about a Kodak moment

got our 3 day limits on the yellowfins a few bft's had a nice mako that we tagged and released

all the 25lb+ jacks you wanted hungry
eating the 60 so you semi had control


lots of big molas half ton models most i have seen in a long time

whales where thick too finbacks and sperms

giant spots of bait heading back towards clemente
saw one spot of little mack's that had to be more than a mile long could see foamers working it horizon to horizon

surreal

alls wll that ends well
had a annual community party for memorial day

fish for 600 and a week of fun
