Hosted out first open boat offshore trip of the year.

Had regulars Jim Surmick and son Bret and Oscar 

Carillo. Left at first light and ran east to where there

Have been rumors of bluefin, got there and found the

Mammals and bait, but no tuna. After trolling for a while 

Decided to try sharking in the clean blue 70 degree water,

Nothing came in the slick after 3 hours. Decided to shift gears

And bottom fish to save the trip landed Pollack to 15lbs, and 

Over 2 dozen jumbo ling.
