Qualifier 105 has set up a couple of day and a half trips during the last days of July, typically an excellent time to go albacore fishing. Going for a day and a half means anglers arrive on the grounds at gray light, and because the running is done at night they'll fish until dark.

If there's a dawn bite the day and half angler benefits by being there when it happens. If the bite goes off in the late afternoon those anglers will be fishing after other boat have gone home.

The first trip departs on Saturday, July 25 and returns Monday the 27th. The second trip leaves later that day, July 27, and returns Wednesday, July 29.

Bill Roecker recommends day and a half trips anytime the main body of fish is more than 70 miles from San Diego as the best way to make a good catch.
