Greetings, Fished PSL in the skiff today. Got a sweet scoop of perfect 'dines from Deke and headed N on a glassy ocean. Ended the day with 2 keeper 'buts (26" & 30"), but should have had more. Had 4 or 5 solid hits and raked baits. The two we landed were barely hooked! The current changed twice today...which really screwed things up for about 3 hours (caught no fish during that time). It was going S in the morning, switched to going N (bite shut down) and then finally shifted to the S by 11. I think there are more fish out there, but they were just not biting that well because of the funky drift. Good luck to those that go out this weekend. Deke has kind dines...tip him well!!! best fishes, steve |

Seems to me that "legible" can be open to interpretation. What may not be legible to one might be to another. I myself read and write in sawhili. |

Mel and I found a seperate code section that requires all tags, Ab, Deer, Bear, whatever to be legible. The conclusion was that there was no defense. |

Regarding the story that was posted... He shouldn't have been fined anything. Should have been dismissed entirely. It wasn't, the fine was only reduced. Which leads me to believe that there were other circumstances involved instead of "just ab's blood on the tags" and illegible to read. |

Bob I guess you didn't follow what happened to him. He did follow the law just the AB's Blead on the tags after they were filled out. And became hard to read. Something like that can even happen to you!! So sometime when you try to follow the law Crap Happens. |

I would rather obey the law and avoid this whole ticket thing and court and have to call in help and then be happy with a 50% reduction in fines and court cost.; Follow the regs and it`s better for all concerned. Irregardless of the circumstances. |

Is any one going out for Tuna on 7/02/09? We will be making a run out of Morro to go north of the elbow and up to and around Davis sea mount in the morning. Just wanting to know if there are any other takers that maybe making the run for Tuna in the morning. The weather looks like it is goiing to be really nice for a 250 mile run. |

Well it looks like MEL, as usual, took care of one of us again - we all owe it to him for taking up the cause when it is the right thing to do - I'm just glad he's on our team ! thanks again Mel ! |

Well here's the word on our Ab ticket. With Mel's help Pat and I sent an explanatory letter to Judge Lehan, Mendocino Superior Court. We made a point that the officers were professional and polite. The Court sent the letter to F&G, and after reviewing their comments reduced the fine to $252 from $588. We paid the reduced fine, and want to thank Mel. On my next trip the guys next to us at the dock had their Abs confiscated and got a multi Thousand $ ticket for "upgrading" after they had taken their limits. If you go Ab'ing be careful. |

Mike and Jim, I started receiving Sport Fishing mag around 6 months ago, but I never signed up for a subscription. They must have gotten my name and address from fish posts. I bet they will go after me too. The mag is generally worthless, but it did have a good article in this month about kayak charters in Baja for striped marlin. |

Chartered a boat saturday in ensenada out of Gordos sportfishing. Great boat and crew. We trolled for yellows with no luck but caught 9 hefty bonito. we then headed for the rocks and proceeded to catch the bigggest darn rock fish i have ever seen. loaded the boat with fish up to 8#s. great times and would recommend it if you guys are ever down that way.

Sport fishing magazine did the same to me. I signed up for like $15 for 3 years and they sent me bills to renew my subscription after about a year. Still comes in everynow and then, but I dont ever sign up. They are weasles and I wouldn't recommend them at all, it's not that good anyway. |

SPORT FISHING - the magazine - BEWARE !! I received a formal letter saying I owed money for a past due bill for a subscription I had received in 2008. It stated that there would be "further steps taken to collect" this past due money owed. Thinking I had sent in for a years subscription and forgot to pay, or thrown away the numerous number of ad type letters I had received - I went ahead and paid the $30. This week I got two magazines in the mail, and when I contacted the subscription dept - they said I had re-newed my subscription for two more years. I don't mind reading the magazine, but what a chicken-shit way to trick you into re-newing. I am going to send the editors a letter, but I bet you won't see it posted in the magazine. Must really be tough times to have to threaten you to get you to read their magazine !! BEWARE IF you get a letter saying you owe monies for a past subscription - do not pay !! |

Sardines. By the way Doug is selling 5 gallon buckets of fresh dead for $20 on the days when we fish. Some guys are canning and they are really good! Others freezing up bait. Call and leave Doug your number and be ready to come down in the early mornings when we get in. |

altimetry, sst's,chloropyll. all useful indeed. but i got a kick thinking that only less than twenty years ago? we would ride darby's boats and just head out to the high spots to look for fish with lots of success. kinda funny to think about. pray for tuna |

Harrel, Thanks for the great article on Altimetry. I had it backwards on the colors for the updraft.We went down to Purisma for bottom fish and limited out on Hard to dies, Bolina and Reds. Two keep Lings. Fishing for anything else other than Gopher Codes was pretty slow. The weather was not anything close to the reports, so we decided to make a run offshore from Purisma and went to 34.57 and 121.28, 62.5 water mid blue and clear for Nada.Came back in at 35 miles an hour, just flat calm seas.Port was closed at 5:30 and had to run to Morro to get out, nice that is was so calm.Great day on the water.

Went to the islands sat. morning with Tom and Skip on Tom's boat Bushwacker, we caught halibut at three of five areas we fished, with 10 fish going from 12 to 42 pounds! Skip got the big one, his personal best.Five were in the 30+ range, unbelievable quality.As for 10% to Marty on the side pot, I'm against that idea. Side pots should be 100% payout, we'er just trying to make the tourny moer interesting and hopefully bring more people to fish. |

Thanks Seeker and Salty Doc of taking a look. So far pretty spotty tuna 70 to 140 miles south of Diego so maybe just a matter of time for us. |

Left Morro at 0930 ran on pretty flat and foggy water and ran past the light house. 14 mixed fish for 2 anglers. Pulled the plug at around 6:00 pm ran 30 knots on flat water home. Almost did not go because of the forcast and wind forecast from Sailflow. Great day all things considered. I caught my first Tree fish. |

only one bite one fish, no raked baits. bounced balls after 3 hrs of bait drifting and nothing, the one fish was 15lbs. lots of bait in the water, maybe too much. |
