the phone rang at 4 am, never a good thing the day of a tuna trip. todays captain has tire problems and is a no go (but thats another story to tell). so buzz and i decide to meet in fairhaven and give tog a go. after spending an hour and a half trying to track down some crabs we finally are pushing off. neither of us do much togging so we poke around some spots that look good on the charts and it's not going well. we're resetting the ancor constantly but just can't seem to find the fish. we decide to head east to the islands and on our first drop it becomes clear we found a good spot. we get into them for a few hours w/ a good ratio of keepers to throwbacks. some seals showed up as the tide was slowing and the bite died off. we cruised around to a few more spots and picked up some fish here and there and as the rain approached we called it a day. fwiw buzz had a live bait out all day looking for stripes but had no takers

I'm the funny one with the goofy voice! We never hear ourselves like others do until you listen to a recording.

I hope Dominic likes Dad on the internet?
