So i decided to jump on the Toronado Sunday and I'm glad I did!!!! there were total of 25 anglers and landed 80 yellows and a couple of bluefins. i was fortunate enough to land me a bluefin for the first time. The hot ticket seemed to be squid on a 2/0 or 3/0 hook and a quarter to half ounce sliding sinker. Great boat and skipper and well worth the $175 for a 1.5 day trip. Meet some real cool people, (Normalfellow and his buddy), nice to meet you guys, and a great trip overall. The weather was a bit overcast but the seas were calm all day. here are some of the pictures of the carnage.......enjoy!

Oh yeah! Was on that same boat and trip. Got me a yellow as well. Great trip cept for the fact that they charged me $10 bucks for the tuna cleaning and then when we got back to the dock, I find out that the fish was not even cleaned. Needless to say, got home and spent a good time choping that yellow up, made a mess in the kitchen, got into the shower and finally take a nap. Except from being overcharged for services not even rendered... Everything was good. One more thing...my thanks to Al (ships cook), great dinner after a good day of fishing.... 8)

They had a fish hold. this was at the end of the trip, someone decided to put their fish in the bag and take it whole instead of fillets.
