JUST COMPLETED ONE OF MY THREE ANNUAL CHARTES ON THE STARDUST. WE WERE SLATED FOR ROCKFISH AT SANTA ROAS. JASON CALLED ME LATE THE DAY BEFORE AND TOLD ME THERE WAS SQUID AVAILABLE AND MERIT HAD HAMMERED THE TAILS AND SEABASS AT CHINA THAT DAY. WE DECIDED TO TAKE A CRACK AT THE SEABASS. WE GOT THERE AND THERE MUST HAVE BENN 60 BOATS. TO MUCH COMMOTIN FOR SEABASS. I THINK A HANDFULL OF YELLOWS WERE CAUGHT. JASON TELLS US WE ARE OFF TO SANTA ROSA TO TRY A SEABASS SPOT. THIS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS GUY. HE WILL DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO PRODUCE. MAKING A LONG STORY SHORT. WE DID NOT GET ANY SEABASS BUT WE DID VERY WELL ON THE ROCKFISH. ONE OTHER NOTE. I SAW THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE RICH GUYS CHARTERING. WITH 24 ABOARD WE PAYED $50 EACH. WE GOT TO FISH SEABASS FOR QUITE A BIT LESS THAN A TYPICAL 5-5 TRIP. JASON'S CHARTER PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE

Hey, that's great that you caught fish! However, you did pay $50 per person to catch rockfish. In defense of that previous posting that you referred to, not everyone knows 24 guys to charter a boat or has $50 to burn. For someone on a budget who loves to fish, that simply isn't feasible. When the Stardust is available on the weekends, a guy can bring a buddy, use a buddy pass, and split the $27 fare! Now that is very reasonable! However, the operative word here is "available"...
