WELL I AM LEAVING FOR SAN DIEGO TOMOROW. I HAVE A TWO DAY ON THE NEW TORTUGA, LEAVING MONDAY. THE BOAT IS MERIT'S OLD SEA HAWK. HOPEFULLY WE GET A SHOT AT THE TUNA. THEY HAVE BEEN BITING FAIRLY WELL FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW.

SPEAKING OF ALBACORE, LAST YEAR I CHARTERED THE STARDUST AND WE WENT TUNA FISHING. LEFT ABOUT MIDNIGHT, AND WAS FISHING BY DAWN. I LIMITED THE TRIP TO 15. WE CAUGHT 38 ALBIES. MOST OF THE GUYS WHO WENT HAD NEVER CAUGHT A TUNA BEFORE. I TALKED TO JASON LAST SUNDAY AND HE WANTS ME TO DO ANOTHER TUNA TRIP. I WANTED TO LET BRIAN, PETE, LEAPING BASS, AND ANYONE ELSE WHO LOVES TO FISH WITH JASON A CHANCE TO GO WITH. I WILL LIMIT THE TRIP TO 15 I THINK I CAN GET AWAY WITH CHARGING $80 EACH. THE ONLY BUMMER IS WE HAVE TO SACK OUT WHEREVER WE CAN FIND A SPOT. THE TRIP WILL BE IN SEPTEMBER AND WE WILL BOOK IT ONCE THE FISH ARRIVE. PROBABLY FISHING ON A SATURDAY OR SUNDAY. IF ANYONE IS INTRESTED JUST DROP ME AN E-MAIL. I WILL BE OUT FRIDAY ON JASONS BOAT, MAYBE SOME OF US CAN MEET WHILE FISHING.

TAKE CARE, AND GOOD FISHING.
