WE WOKE UP AROUND 5:00 AM. LOOKED OUTSIDE AND SAW WE WERE SUROUNDED BY 49 SPORTBOATS. EVEN THE LONG RANGE BOYS WERE THERE.
WE FIGURED THIS WAS GOING TO BE A TOUGH DAY, AND IT WAS, LANDED ONLY A FEW ALBIES ON BAIT FISH THE REST ON THE TROLL.

BOAT IS LOOKING GOOD..
WILL POST A FEW PICS.

SORRY GUY'S CAN'T REMEMBER HOW TO POST PICS.

Thanks for the report. The yellowfin is a good sign of late August fishing, especially at the Lupe.

Just returned from Joe's (Constitution) Sun-Tue 2 day trip. While not as productive as yours Gabe, it was still much fun.
He has done a lot of work on the boat and Charllote fed us very well.
On a side note were your dines as bad as ours? They seemed to almost all have been psoriasis victims, seems like the recievers had mentioned some sort of spill nearby.
Regards.
Michael
