Congratulations to the winner of the jackpot for the 1.5-day Kim Burkhart and Friends Trip:
*Kirt and his fish were camera-shy at the scales, so we don’t have a photo, sorry!
Howdy anglers,
We’ve had steady action all day here catching some nice-grade tuna and having a good time on deck. We’re headed home and the weather is great.
Kim Burkhart and I posed for a photo together with his nice catch from today.

Howdy anglers,
We’re enjoying steady action today on nice-grade yellowtail and a few yellowfin tuna. Fly lining a sardine with 30-pound and a 2/0 hook was the best method. Here is a sample of the fish caught today by Garrett S. The weather is nice and it looks to stay nice all day.

Congratulations to the jackpot winner for the 1.5 day Jerome’s Charter!
1. Kerry Marley, 12.2# dorado.
Hello anglers:
We’ve had a lot of fun on deck today with some of Jerome’s finest sales staff on board–many of them novice anglers! We found a kelp paddie in the tuna and dorado zone, and found lots of action for the group. We took a quick group photo after we stopped fishing to get the fish cold in the refrigerated saltwater fish hold.
Way to go, Jerome’s lady anglers! We’re hoping to find the kelp for a second stop.

Congratulations to the winners of the trip 16 (3-day) jackpot:
Another memorable Capt Potatohead trip for the history books!
Hello anglers: We are headed home after a successful Captain Potatohead Memorial trip. Dick Uranga would have been pleased with the outcome. The trip is definately not the same without him — we all try to have fun at other people’s expense, but no one did that better than Dickie. There were some highlights from today that would have made him proud. Capt Aaron helped Terry O cast without having his thumb on the spool which resulted in a nice backlash. Terry got the backlash out and hooked a nice-size dorado at one of the kelp paddie stops. Capt Aaron and Terry, aka “Fang” are pictured with the final result. Another highlight was Derek T. making poke for everyone,. There will be a photo of that later as well. Nice job, “Sugar Bear”!
This trip’s Sportsman’s Award goes to Dean “Piglet” Benavidez. Dean has been coming on this trip many years and has always been a pleasure to be with at the rail. He released lots of small fish today to help out the future! Way to go, Piglet! He will receive a $660 credit towards next year’s trip and that amount will be added to the total proceeds for donation to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, all in Dick Uranga’s name.

Hello anglers: We were lucky again this morning to find another kelp paddie. Everyone had a chance to land a small yellowfin tuna and some dorado came on deck too. Here’s a group photo of happy people and fish.
More later, we’re still fishing!

Hello anglers: We landed a few more dorado and yellowfin tuna this afternoon. We have high hopes of finding another kelp paddie tomorrow in warm clean water. We had lots of fun today with some of the usual antics that Dickie would have enjoyed himself. Check the group photo of dorado (and a Creature from the Black Lagoon at the rail- is that “Twinkle” we see?)!
