Firelight, Stevo, and myself were on the Sculpin during the event. We got up there late on Weds evening after picking the boat up at Alberni Power and Marine. I had a new 200 Optimax installed on her and I am really happy with it
. We were able to gas up and ice down the boat once we got there. The rest of the night was getting the boat ready and getting some shut eye.
Up in the morning and down to Mills to go over strategy with some of the other boats. We decided to just follow the pack out and go to an area they were fishing the day before.
Sunrise.
It turned out to be the perfect move. We heard some radio chatter and co-ordinates and went straight there and dropped the lines. Firelight and I used Birdsnest's method of deploying the gear and it was all out in no time. We started fishing at 9:30 a.m. and had 13 in the boat by 11:30!!! Steve lost his tuna virginity big time!!!
First double of the day.
Mid morning mayhem.
Firelight covered in tuna blood and loving it.
We just kept within about a 3 mile radius and kept doing figure eights while chunking the water. I can't say for sure if this helped but it appeared to.
Stuffed slush bucket.
We were fishing next to Freedom22 for a while near the end of the day.
We ended up with black jack 21 and were low on ice so we decided to head for the barn. We tried halibut fishing on the way in with no luck.
Dak coming to say hi back at the dock.
