Looks like a bunch of sealions sunning on deck, too.

Thanks Gabe.

Once you become "The A-hole" that causes the boat to be late it's hard to escape that title. Trust me. Hope they got a sardine in the boots, at least.

Gabe, good fishing with ya. Pretty sure I will be signing on for the next one on the 9th. There were a couple yt and a wsb caught by another sportie in our area. The chance was there, just did not happen for us........next time! There was a nice halibut lost at gaff and Josh's legal 'but took the pot.

I was informed that trips toward end of July and august will likely leave an hour earlier and stay longer.

Thanks for the report Gabe!

I'm sure it's just the matter of time one of these CAT trips will produce some quality "lap-load".

Look at Masta' keep hoping on it... Nice pics!!!

reminds me of the movie..."The Life Aquatic",
You know when Steve Zissou is wearing the yellow helmet with an antenna that has music piped in. Then he starts dancing...That's what I'm talking about.

thanks fer the report Gabe.

btw- I don't see any speedos & Glocks...must be Interns?

Andy, I saw a report with some Yt's and a WSB, but I thought they were further west of us. In any case, hopefully you'll get'em on the 9th

Zed,

That's funny. It's a good time to nap though for the ride home

Great trip with a good crew! Fished for 6hrs or so, with good views and a steady pick on calicos kept me buzzy. Caught 3 halibut, two that were short and one that looked to be 10-15lbs. As I tryed to rush the gaff shot I ended up tangeling the gaff with my line just above the hook and as the fish freaked out POP goes my line and there went my keeper..

This was my first mother ship trip and will not be my last for sure. To say fishing was slow I will not. Just no yellows or whites. I can't wait to get back out there!!!!!!!
I only would like to ask one thing: If you are heading out on one of these trips please show up early!!! Rember you need to unload your car and get all of your gear to the boat then load the boat. Everyone has different boats and gear so this seems to take some time. Don't hook up your seat or other gear to your yak in the morning, yaks ride on the racks on their sides so all that stuff gets in the way as the crew loads the yaks on the rack. Saw a deckhand almost get hit in the head a few times by seat buckles and other stuff falling from yaks. Ok one more thing when your yak comes down and it's time to get in the water be ready to load and go as fast as you can. It's not the beach, only 4-5 yaks can be set up at once so that means there are people waiting to to get on the water.

Peace Out
