I know this isn't the saltwater board but my friends are here!

I just got a call from my friend John Fish, who lives in Mendocino. The albacore are 17 to 30 miles out of Fort Bragg. That's VERY early for 'em off NorCal.
His neighbor took 4 of 'em today plus limits of crab. John's got crab pots too.
It's a day of drag screamin' fun and a feast waiting to happen. The boat fishes 3 comfortably but 4 can go.
Mid July onward is very doable. If any of you guys are interested, you won't regret it.
By the way, John is the executive chef at the Mendocino Hotel and can prepare seafood like it's no ones business. :9

PS - He's slayin' the salmon. He mentioned that he's catching 3 Silvers to every King. But the Kings are going up to 30 lbs.

Let's rip some salty head while the rippin' is good!

You gotta be kidding me. No one's interested?!?

Hey Chris,that sounds like a blast.When do you think you'll be doing it?I'm still kinda busy with the place and have my bro from texas coming next weekend.I might be in LA the following weekend to spend time with him down there.But I'm definetly interesed.Call me on my cell and maybe we can pick a day.

Hey Chris,

I'm interested all right, just can't get away. I understand that the tuna trips having been doing well down this way too and still have not managed to get on a boat yet. Tuna a blast to catch, even the smaller 10-12 pound fish put up a pretty good fight!

If it looks like my situation changes I'll get in touch but it doesn't look good for the month of July. I'm going to miss the delta open which I hate to do. BTW, I've still got your CD and I think I ended up with something else of yours but can't remeber what it is right now. Anyway, since I am going to miss the open maybe you should send me a mailing address so I can get your stuff back to you.

Shoot I'll go!

Just got to find a ride up to you :o
And sooner the better
Please pass me some of that Salty Fish please! YUM

Never Albacore fished before heard it’s a hoot.

Whew! You guys had me worried. lol It's a fun time and the eats are sublime. John is our kinda people too.

It's still early so there's plenty of time to work out when to go.
My first trip won't be until late this month at the earliest.

Joe, once I'm mobile, I'll come down and get you if you want to go.

Chirs

I can give squeekers a ride.:) Just let me know when.
Swampy

I'd be up for it, should be able to swing down and give Castro a ride. Let me know sometime when you guys are going to go and I will see if I can make it. Would be a blast.

If you make this and hook up you are going to have a great time! You KNOW you've got a fish on when a 15 pound tuna does a respectable job of spooling a saltwater reel. Word of caution: don't try to thumb the spool, you'll burn yourself.

Cool. Will do.

Right on. As soon as John is ready, we'll schedule some trips.
