#10411, "Albacore 7/26"


          

Fished out of Dana Landing on the Fin Fever. We left the bait receiver at 9:30pm and headed south. The weather was GREAT! Man, it was really smooth--definitely not the typical weather for albie fishing.

Had a few cold ones, then hit the sack. I was awakened by the yell "HOOK UP!!!!!", then shortly followed by the sound of a long fin hitting the deck! I was getting dressed as fast as I could! It was a double hook-up on the troll. The skipper said that night we probably would get to the zone until about 8 or 9am--it was 6:30!

The fish didn't come to the boat, so we continued. About 20 mins later, HOOOOOK UP!. Again, nothing came to the boat so we move on. 30 mins later, HOOOOK UP!!!!!! Same story, nothing came to the boat. 15 mins later...you guessed it, HOOOK UP! OK, this time I get hooked up with the only bait fish @ 20lbs. Nothing else cooperates, so we go on the troll again. This is the drill for a while. I was getting 1 or 2 fish every stop.

It takes a while, but we get a triple hook up. This is when it gets good. WFO! BOILS everywhere! Every cast, BAM! Fish were all over the place! I started fish'n with 'dines....and WATCHING the albies come up to hit 'em! Your bait would hit the water, and it would be picked up almost immediately! We limited out in minutes! These were nice fish too, 25-30lb. Done fishing at 11am, and headed home (we were over 90 miles out).

Great fishing. Great boat. Great crew.
