[Bounty Hunter]

The Steve Lopez charter was on board today. Along with Steve were his wife Barbara and friends Bob, Ouida, Meryl & Sean. We arrived on the spot at 7AM in a relatively calm ocean. Jigging again was not productive so we decided to troll. By 8:30 the wind went northeast with gusts to 20 and suddenly the ocean was not a pretty place. We spent the next couple of hours trolling in some nasty 6 footers. Suprisingly everyone held up and fished thru the horrible conditions. At 11:30 it was time to head for home. The charter finished the morning with 9 nice Bass in the box and they released another 8. Overall it was a nasty day with 6 nice people that stuck it out. It's always a pleasure to have Steve and his crew on board. Only a dock shot. We had a camera malfunction.
