going to stop? So tired of 20 to 30 knots regardless of direction with a 12-18 hour decease to 15 to 25 knots---not that there's an abundance of tuna

lots of squid and blue sharks though...still have 4 scheduled trips but I seriously doubt any will come to fruition-due either to weather or major lack of interest....never been this bad weather-wise or fishless-wise...Shall we pin our hopes on next year or join the U.S. Olympic drinking team?

Very depressed at this point...

Was just telling my wife it looks like my one trip this year is going to get blown out.

Guess I’ll find a boat that’s doing some bottom fishing.

Nope. When was the last good chunking season? I dont mean a few good trips here and there, but a solid Sept Oct like years ago? looks like I'll be selling off the chunk gear and getting on a 6 pack trolling charter in June/July/Aug in the years to come....

Yea Duffman, went that route in summer months on a private boat, no more..but I look forward to just being out there--catching is a very nice bonus--at least for me!!!
I might try to reinstate my membership

I checked with my boat for this week and they think they're going out but I have my doubts.

Tomorrow-Tues. OK---from then on 20-25 to 30 'til Friday & it's back to 10-15...

Probably not going to hook that big swordfish on a trolling trip in July.
What keeps people coming back year after year ? To fish during the fall at night in the canyons is something to behold.
