Firelight and myself stayed out overnight with a few other boats. We knew the weather was going to be stellar.
Sunset.
These guys were all around us during the night.
Might of had something to do with the scent coming off the back of the boat from this earlier in the day....

We drifted about 10 miles in the night. We got up before light and cruised back to where we were the day before. We hit a fog bank up there but started fishing anyways.
Firelight sporting the team hoody.
Tested out the Bubba blade.
Some interesting cargo next to this boat lol.
First three days were a blast. Great weather, great friends, and great fishing for us. We left with 34 small albacore around 8-10 lbs. Nothing bigger and we are still not on the board. We at least went home with some groceries. Hopefully something brings the bigger fish schools down or up our way this week. Heading out again on Friday for one last kick at the can and then taking in the closing ceremonies.
Good luck to those fishing the next few days. I will be monitoring reports like a hawk.
See ya soon.
Cheers,
Sculpin

Surprisingly nice conditions this morning. A huge portion of the fleet is heading out to southern canyons in search of the larger grade fish. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the updates Kelly. Greatly appreciated.
Hopefully some larger grade fish show up in numbers. This will make it interesting for sure
