You guys don't need to share in my mini tragedy but I have to report that today's original narrative, after much thought and effort, was deleted into oblivion before being sent. I don't know what happened, but I know I was none too pleased. As such let me offer an abridged version. We caught nothing today. It was received with little consternation however as we were all flying high following our good hit on the sea bass and yellowtail during the previous twenty four hours. Despite seeing plenty of sign offshore, again the results were less than productive; zero in fact - skunked

As I mentioned we took it in stride focused on the good part of the voyage as opposed to the opposite. It was easy to do with a beautiful catch of quality yellowtail, a fair sprinkling of albacore, and white sea bass in the RSW tanks. Two other points before I sign off for the day. First: our most gracious thanks to Craig Heberer who heads up the annual Humboldt Fishin' Lumberjacks voyage as charter master. Our gratitude also extends to every angler in the group who, in addition to being dedicated to the pursuit of fish, are wholly focused on making a good time of every opportunity presented. It has been our pleasure fishing with all of you.

Photo of the day features anglers Michael Sugars, Chris De Wees, and Scott Gray presenting their quality yellowtail and sea bass from our "secret" little honey hole. Job well done men. Look for the narrative to continue as I have the pleasure of taking the helm on tomorrow's upcoming five day voyage.
