Sublime passage is grease calm conditions. No wind, no speakable sea or swell - a sailors nightmare; a power boater's dream. Rigging again was on the docket as we opted for another day of running in favor bigger tuna below. The lower banks aren't doing it right now, not even a little bit, so a longer haul on this run is implemented out of necessity. Now time will tell if the investment in travel yields reward. For certain, if anything hungry is found, we have the horsepower to get the job done.

Photo today features master angler and stellar individual "Rock Cod " Rick Maxa. Known to most as one of "Southern California's Sport Fishing Voices" Co-hosting Let's Talk Hookup with Pete Grey, Rick is also a bedrock member of the team at Fisherman's Landing tackle. Genuine is an ideal word to describe Rick's personality and actions. A fishing expert in every respect his passion for this fishery is unsurpassed. I have never experienced a more effective ambassador. Sincere, professional, always volunteering to lend a hand with anyone's tackle preparation and provide succinct tidbits of advice at the rail with tact and impeccable timing, everyone is fortunate to share time with Ricky whenever he hosts any Let's Talk Hookup adventure. Here is the master with one of several fine "skinnies" he subdued.
