Yesterday was just one of those days that I really have to reach to say anything good about. Other than the boat running well and everyone's health being intact the day was hideous with dreadful fishing and disagreeable weather conditions. We covered excellent ground in the traditionally productive zone but spinoff from tropical storm Blas was the likely culprit affecting our negative results. Fortunately we have plenty of time remaining to get back in the saddle and we plan to do just that heading back to the coast for a nice break from the weather and with luck, some good yellowtail action. The bright note of the day is that our guys up above found encouraging conditions in the albacore zone that we are optimistic will improve as we approach the new moon on Friday.
