I hate to say it but our final day was a struggle that turned into a long haul when our adventurous starting point wound up being about fifty five miles below the zone offering prime conditions. Of course it is always easy to second guess our moves after the fact, but had I planned differently, we just might have had a few more shots at yellowfin tuna before heading for the barn. Once again it is always easy to say after the fact. The good news is that we had epic, flat calm weather and did have a few shots at dorado that were the primary target species along with yellowfin tuna. Overall it was far from a bust; it just wasn?t the boomer end we were hoping for. In the end however we ended up with a very nice trip featuring sufficient quantity, beautiful. Guadalupe quality, and variety in both fish species and scenery that was second to none on a six day voyage. Now Captain Toussaint assumes solo command as I take the next couple of trips on the beach to enjoy a well deserved break. Look for Captain Randy?s reports to begin tomorrow.
