My Buddy Mang showed up at around 2:00 am and by the time I was able to roust my son out of bed and load the boat up we left the barn at about 2:30am, and made the trek from Riverside to Shelter Is. launching ramp in about 2 hrs. Not many people at the ramp surprisingly, and a short line waiting to get bait.

A couple of miles before the 425 we dumped in the jigs, we trolled by the 425 for no love so we started making our way up to the 371 somewhere in between we found a school of porpoise, trolled thru the school for no biters but we marked Yellowfin beneath the porpoise. We stopped on the marks and chummed up some nice 22-25 lb yellowfin. We lost the school so we kept on trolling, and trolling...

At 10:00 we fished a kelp with several other boats, we lost a yellowfin and a dorado. Stayed with the kelp for about 1/2 an hour til we finally gave up when about 7 boats crashed the paddy.

Kept trolling toward the 302 from the 371, about 3 miles from the 302 we had a double blind jig strike and to our surprise Albacore came to the boat. Ended up with 7 Albies (Small) on that stop.

We trolled for a few more hours and decided to wind in the jigs and go run and gun some kelp paddies. Anyway, we found a small paddy that we were able to score 3 rat Dodo's. By that time we were out of bait and made the run back to the barn at 2:30pm. Had the boat home by 5:30 with clean up to follow.

Total for the day, 3 yellowfin, 7 albies, 3 rat dodos.

It was a very nice day on the water, flat, calm with a light breeze couldn't ask for more.
