Went out fishing with a bud of mine today even though it looked like it was going to be slow. It was.

Picked up one fat albacore on the 302 and that was it for the day. We estimated it to be an honest 30 lbs and the loins were huge. The fish hit a CD-9 silver and black rapala. We trolled everything and worked it pretty hard.

We found fewer terns, no whales and a lot less on the meter. Everybody on the radio was talking about the warm water or dorado and yellowtail that didn't want to bite.

We did see either two groups or the same one of Risso's dolphin on the way in and out and a couple of pods of smaller dolphins.

Slow fishin but the am weather was really nice. pm weather on the way in was sloppy and rolly, reminded me of coming back from the trench or something even though we were traveling down swell.

Sure would like to catch a strong albacore bite but I think it may be done. Oh well - beat working!
