Here is the crew of the Apollo from this past weekend. Several of these fellows will be working aboard the vessel in Santa Barbara for our Charter in April. This is Captain Drew- JJ was at home with the family. Here is the Co Captain and deckhand Joey with another angler - Les.
The guy down in the hole is deck-hand Danny getting fish out of thier fish holding area for sorting and cleaning at the end of the day . They fill this tank with sea water and it is kept at 33 degrees, each fish caught is tagged with your sack # and thrown in the holding tank - very cool.
Well we worked hard all day from about 8am to 6 pm I released 4 short lings before I got this one that was just legal and then Biff pulled in this lunker.Right after that two more were caught that were even bigger.
But it was Biff's birthday so he caught a really nice fish and lots of great reds and a white fish.
Sorry, the Yellowtail didn't show up for us.
And the Humbolt Squid were fierce. We had to keep moving to avoid them . It is like fishing at the Islands and the birds/seals gettting too pesky.
The fishing was slow and scratchy by the crews standards. But the quality of the fish caught was great.
I took some photos of the interior of the vessel -Very Very nice.
Sorry, I did not get photos of the bunk area or bathrooms. I will just say that I have been forever spoiled by this boat- the accomodations are excellent.
Overall the boat caught its limit and we came home with a nice quantity of excellent filets.
