After unloading another beautiful catch that rivaled any I have seen on a voyage of six days we turn for
the next seven day continuing to feel optimistic about what is at present and what more is to come. As
for signs of fish, straight fishing potential, one would be hard pressed to ask for something better. The
fish come up and go down unpredictably, even with the tremendous potential around there have been plenty
of off days, but when the goods are present it is on, and then some.

We head out in fine shape with a good load of bait in the wells thanks to some thrifty, adept management
on the previous couple of voyages, and a bunch of help from a healthy run of squid the guys have taken
full advantage of. It is good times out here at present; good weather, good fishing, and more to come.
