Hey there guys,
Went out on the new Premier today and caught some yellows. Left at the usual departure time of 6am and as Danny and Karl had gotten squid previously we headed straight for Catalina's west end. Turning the corner we dropped the hook and didn't move the rest of the day other than to make fine adjustments.
Saw the Persuit a number of times and I was yelling and waving like an idiot hoping to get DH_tubinjoe's attention. I think I saw him on the bow once. How did you guys do joe?
The squid boat was there to and those guys were hooked up constantly. Go figure! They've got a whole hold full of squid for chum and bait! ha ha
We had a steady bite of 20 pound fish and then around 1 o'clock we went wide open. People were bustin' off with 20 and 25 pound test. Some guys were getting fish with 40 pound test. Our bait couldn't have been anything but squid.
Fished a little while longer then headed back to Long Beach and got off the boat at around 6pm.
