7/2/09 Hello Everyone, Our weather today was a little on the breezy side with an average of 15-18 knots and mostly cloudy skies for the majority of our day. Fishing started out on the slow side, and we had to scratch at yellowtail and albacore for most of the day, but right before dark our fortunes changed. Eddie found a huge breezer of beautiful grade Bluefin tuna and they were definitely hungry! Right away we bent the whole boat and chaos ensued. Every single bait that hit the water was an instant bite on 20-45lb Bluefin. After everything settled in and it seemed like it was over, a batch of 20 lb albacore swam through and crashed the party. In an instant we were right back to tight lines and bent poles. Tonight we will drift through the same area in hopes of finding some the same hot action in the morning. Wish us luck. R/P CREW

Our passengers are all excited and we are planning on taking a look at a new area tomorrow. Wish us lots of luck, we might need it. R/P CREW

6/30/09 Hello Everyone, Our weather today was ok today for the most part with mostly cloudy skies and anywhere from 10 to 15 knots of breeze. This afternoon it did pick up a bit more but it has since laid down making for a comfortable ride home. Fishing today was very slow. We did find several beautiful kelps but unfortunately only one produced just a handful of yellowtail. Tuna fishing was very tough as well with only a couple of jig strikes for our efforts. We will arrive at Fisherman’s Landing at 0600 hours tomorrow morning for a quick turn around on a three day trip. We will be sure to keep you posted. Wish us luck.

6/27/09 Hello Everyone, Our luck changed today as we found some good action on kelp paddy yellows. We found a few kelps throughout the morning for some scattered fish, but then we hit the motherload. About mid day we found a huge kelp with a gigantic breezer of yellowtail and they were hungry! Everyone on board caught at least a few and after it dried up we moved on in search of more fish. The rest of the afternoon we scratched at albacore and ended up with 23 tuna for our efforts. Late in the day we did see a couple of nice schools of albacore on the machines so our hopes are up for tomorrow morning. Wish us luck. R/P CREW

Hello Everyone, We departed Fishermans Landing at 10:00 this morning on three day excursion in hopes of finding Bluefin, Albacore, and Yellowtail. After a quick stop by the bait receiver we were on our way with a fresh load of bait. We enjoyed a nice ride down to the grounds for our first afternoon of fishing but unfortunately the fish did not cooperate. We will start looking again at first light tomorrow morning. Wish us luck.

Another great trip for the kids (062509)

Hello everyone; It's not much I can say about this years family trip. It was another great one. We had excellent weather, good fishing, and lots of fun. We ended our trip with a water balloon fight, and of course the crew won. We would like to say hello to Nicole Louchios, and that she was missed this year, but then we look forward to seeing her next year. Enough about all the fun we had, let's talk about the fishing. We had a fair day of fishing on the Albacore. We ended up with 31 Albacore and one Bluefin tuna. We ended the trip at 18:30 hours, the crew cleaned the boat, and we had a wonderful last supper. We should arrive to Fisherman's landing at 06:30 hours. We have a turn around trip (3 day trip), and Aaron Barnhill with be at the helm for the next three trip. Big "D" will be off for a few trips, but he will return on the 4th of July. With that note, we wish you the best in your fishing, weather it's long-range, or just catching Bluegills. The R/p crew.
