9/17/12 half moon bay albacore

o'dark 30, half moon bay.  great albacore bite yesterday and the day before. 



you all know roger on the right.  our new guy is vincent wong!  been meaning to get him out on the boat for the last few years. 



this morning, we get to use ALL of the electronics, including the FLIR!



my brother rounds out the crew. 



slow pick in the morning. 













8 fish by 1pm, 6 more by 2pm.  filleted as we went along, then scrubbed the boat on the way home. 



kids!  i always tell them to get enough sleep the night before, and they never do!

Congrats Alan on your another tuna run, some of those albies are huge. Thanks for the report and pics

Alan, hook a guy and his yak up with a ride to and from the grounds?....one can always dream. Nice fish. Its been an awesome central coast tuna season.

Looks like another mission accomplished!  Thanks for the report and pictures Alan.

roger and i were talking about that.  it could be a VERY long day.  sometimes the choice comes down to 1-2 fish on a kayak versus 10-20 on a boat.  still, no one yet has hooked and landed an albacore from a kayak in northern california. 

Nice work Alan. Thanks for the report. (-:
Hey, I heard that you m/b retiring from the reel repair business soon--if so, do you have any recommendations for guys you trust.

Beautiful boat, fish and and great company with family and friends. Thanks for the pics and report.
