We were faced with 20-25 knot winds and 6-10 foot seas, however, the albacore were fat and hungry. We managed to bring in 33 Bluefin up to 41 lbs. as part of our catch too. The Blackjack trolling plug in blue and white caught the first troll fish and the slammer jigs were dynamite the second day. Enclosed is a photo of a slammer hanging out of a bluefin. The passengers were pleased with the tackle gifts and put them to good use. We had half a dozen passengers that had never heard of Braid Products. They have now. Art Taylor, recovering from a cold, worked as hard as any skipper and found biting fish in rough conditions. The crew took care of our needs and I truly believe everyone went home with a good catch.
