6/21/12

Another fine day of variety fishing though the yellowtail production fell markedly. Far from a bust
however we occupied the entire day with a few yellows here and there, a few more croakers (WSB), and a
few more big butts. Capped off with a very good mid day round of Calico Bass fishing and the day was
deemed a success.

Now it is time to head back out, sloppy conditions or otherwise, and get looking for the final species,
actually the final family, that will propel this catch into the category of exceptional. Any variety of
tuna will do - albacore, Bluefin, yellowfin, big eye - we'll take them. But with the weather still up and
the Bluefin now three days incognito we have our work cut out for us; time to beat the bushes.

Two days remaining is a wealth of time to do some business when we find them. And if we don't it will not
be an effort in vain. It is well worth it, and necessary. For certain we won't find them in 5 to 15
fathoms; our job here is done.

Photos for the day feature combo charter masters Dave Berutich pulling on one of his many fine yellowtail
and Larry Brown who enjoyed catch of the afternoon status with his largest ever halibut, this fine 38
pounder.
