7/1 Wide Open at the 390

[Nomad]

Got a bit of a late start, and got to the tuna grounds a bit after 9:00. Started at the 390 and worked a few miles south of the high spot. Easy limits on albies for all aboard within 2 hours. Mostly nice grade of fish, 18-24 pounds. Seas were flat calm. Great day on the water. Will post pics tomorrow.

Best jig: small blk/prpl yazuri

Best area: 32 00 and 117 47

Good going Charlie.

Sounds like pretty easy pickings compared to yesterday.

Very nice Charlie,

Glad to see you got out and got some good ones. Damn Jorge, you've been busy. I thought I did a lot of upgrade work. Nice job. Hope you get all the documentation in order soon. Is this a new boat or an overhaul?

Great job on the tuna; finally a great trip and weather! Hope it stays around for the weekend. Did you have any good bait stops ? Can't wait to get out Monday with Dan!

Only one fish on bait, for some reason couldn't get them to go. Heard of several good bait stops on the VHF.
