Wayne with another dorado. Way to go, Wayne!

We got into some dorado right away.

I got bit on the first stop.

Way to go Heather!

Nice fish!

Capt Eddie was great with the gaff. Thanks!

John Coniff on the gaff with his SFR T.

We left Fisherman's Landing with hopes of albacore. Capt Pat gave his safety speech in the galley while the crew filled the boat up with bait, then told us how the fishing has been lately. On the first day we were going to try an area he thought may have some albacore.

We woke up to terrific weather! We started the day off trolling for albies, and stopping at the kelps. Here is Dave with one of the day's first dorado.

After a short battle, Warren won.

Gary scored two dorado off an early morning kelp. Way to go!

A few kelp paddies later Dave got another Dorado.

Bill and a paddy-dorado.

Here's Bill with the last dorado of the trip.

We had a great time with Captain Pat Cavanaugh and crew. We caught BIG albacore, lots of yellows, and some dorado here and there. Add great weather to the mix and it was a terrific trip! SFR would like to thanks Capt Pat and crew for everything!

For 18 anglers we caught: 112 Albacore, 25 Dorado, 1 Yellowfin Tuna, and 56 Yellowtail

It just can't get any better than this! It got to the point where it was tag you're own fish because every hand on deck was responding to the cries of "gaff in the corner", "gaff on the bow", "gaff up the side" The Captain and crew did an awesome job keeping everything together. They were everywhere! Captain Doug helps Wally "Never Seen a Trout Jump That High" Coleman from Bishop Cal. unhook a nice dorado.

I took a little time away from the camera every once in awhile to get in a cast and it payed off big. This huge dorado was so aggresive it ate a live bait and a jig. Sean Starr and I battle this big fish in together and shared a good laugh when we saw multiple lines coming from its mouth. Man these fish are eating machines.

William came all the way from Arkansas to catch fish and boy did he ever. Nice dorado William.
