Trip #11 (3-day trip), day 2

Hello anglers,

It’s a little slow fishing this morning, we are seeing plenty of fish but they are not biting for us. There has been some good fishing in the area so we are hopeful for this afternoon. Here is a photo of Capt. Kenny (“Hollywood”) and Matt A. (“Big Daddy Yum Yum”) with a tuna Matt landed on his new outfit.

There has been some shenanigans this morning and the usual costume wearing requirements! Dick is smilling with us now.

Afternoon update:

It was slow catching for us today, though there’s plenty of fish around. We are going to keep trying!

Plenty of fun was had by all–raffle prizes were a hit! Thanks to Terry Onishi (“Tito Santana”) for all the effort in gathering prizes and organizing the fund-raising.

Here is crewman Ryan (“Lady Godiva”) and Dean B (“Hulk Hogan”) with a tuna. Dean has been coming on this trip for several years.

Hello anglers,

We departed this afternoon on our 7th annual Captain Potatohead trip, memorializing Dick Uranga, who taught us how to have fun out here. We decided to fish this afternoon for yellowfin tuna.We arrived in the area and Captain Mike found a school of fish on the surface. We stopped after a fish was hooked up on the troll. We had plenty of action on both yellowfin tuna and skipjack. Everyone had a great start to their trip! I think everyone tagged a tuna and we also landed a few dorado.

Here is a photo of Terry Onishi and the winner of the rod and reel combo sponsored by Seeker Rods and Penn reels. Bob Bower, a long-time Dickie fan, contributed to the raffle and won.
Planning to try this again tomorrow for some more fun!

Howdy anglers:

We worked on some kelp paddy fishing today and caught a few dorado. We are still looking for the one loaded up with fish and are going to try some more tomorrow.
