Lousy ocean. Good crew. Decent fishing.

9/24/2019

The forecast seemed too good to be true.

It was, as it was OK on the way out and then blew up big time, like 20 knots and 6' at 6 seconds.

It made fishing challenging, but we were in fish right away and stayed in them most of the day.

We were drifting at 1.5 knots, which pretty much killed our bait game, most of our fish were on the troll, which is pretty weird for the end of September.

We marked TONS of fish, but most of the time they stayed down at 50 feet.

Our 5 man crew still got it done and put 37 tuna in the box on the roughest ocean we have fished in a long, long time.

No fishing for a few days, as the wind is supposed to blow.

At it again this weekend.

CPT. Mike,
I fish sport vessel Mango, the Defiance with Twin Suzuki White engines. Have fished near you several times this year, including Oct. 2. Thank you for your timely and accurate reports, it is a great service to we novices trying to learn the albacore game. It has been a successful year for the four of use that fish on Mango, your information has taught us much. We are a Warrenton based boat but now regular customers at Ilwaco for ice and live bait. Hope to fish near you next year. Thanks,
Fred
