The Annual Capt Potatohead Memorial 3-day took off today with the usual dose of fun and games – each angler drew a random new “trip name” like these stalwart friends of our beloved Capt. Potatohead, Dick Uranga: Mike W. (now “Sandy”)and Terry O. (now “Fang”). We are looking forward to the trip reports from the field: we predict tutus and…fish!
Many thanks to our sponsors of this popular trip: Aftco (everyone received a hat and shirt at the dock–wow!), Fishermans Processing, Shimano, Izorline, Mike W., Terry O, Dave N. and many more!
On this warm and beautiful Sunday, August 13, the 14 passengers on this ultra-limited load trip boarded Searcher in an orderly, organized fashion and this continued as each angler went to find their own personal stateroom. The 5-day trip began with Capt Aaron driving the boat away from dock at 12:20pm, on his way to the bait receivers to pick up some quality bait from Everingham Bros. for our small group of passengers ready to “get fishin’ during this 5-day vacation on the water. We will be posting Capt Aaron’s regular reports from the fishing grounds, check back tomorrow!
