Well it's very
hectic at this point. I wrapped up the sturgeon season with a bang, and the
last 2 trips had some good action! One day I had a full load of 6 fishermen the
2nd day we had a light load with 3 fishermen. All in all it was great action.
We had landed 14 Sturgeon in 2 days. We also had some bass. There were also
many good bites missed. Most of the Sturgeon were Shakers; 2 were real close
with an inch of the mark. One was a beautiful keeper at 59 inches and 65
pounds. I had another gentleman fight of
fish for 20 min…we saw the fish jump twice and then the heartbreak came as the
hook pulled. It was either another large
keeper or oversize.
Now it's time to
get set up for the summer season. We've been working every day on the boat
sanding painting cleaning fixing getting her all prepared for the next season.
She will look like new again. My next charter is Friday, May 3 Saturday, May 4
is full and Sunday May 5 has room. I
hear rumors we will have live date by then. I will be targeting salmon,
halibut, striped bass and sharks. If you are interested in a trip please
contact me now, as this year is filling up even faster than last year! All the weekend days and many weekdays are
already booked in June and I am starting to fill up the weekend days in July
and August.
Enjoy the
photographs while I get some sleep. I will get back to work on the boat ASAP.
If everything goes well I will be moving the boat over on Wednesday May 1st.
Zach and I will do a sea trial fishing trip on Thursday and then the 1st summer
season trip will commence on Friday.
