PACIFIC DAWN TUNA CHARTER

I do not even have the words to describe one of the most magnificent GCLA trips that we have ever experienced. Thanks to the great coaching by Erika and Fred, everybody came home with limits of yellowfin tuna. Per the skipper, here are the numbers: 2 albacore, 14 dorado, 21 yellowtail and a whopping 181 yellowfin tuna - all caught by 17 of us on board. Friday, our first day, was a little slow, but all hell broke loose on Saturday. We had about a 4 hour fishing frenzy when all you could hear was - "comin' under, comin' over, step to the right, step to the left". It was the fishy dance to say the least. The decks were covered with blood and the tuna were coming on board, one right after another. You could actually see the fish swimming right around the boat - all you had to do was drop your line in the water and you got bit instantly. It was a fishing "high" I hope I will experience again and again. The water, the wind, the sun - all the conditions were absolutely perfect for this fabulous trip. The crew was phenomenal, the food was great, and of course, there is nothing like the Pac Dawn bunks. This trip far exceeded my wildest expectations. Divine put it best - "it's going to be very hard to jump off of cloud nine". Even on our way in on Saturday, Jordan and Moses, two of the deckhands ended the trip with a spectacular trolling show. They each grabbed a trolling rod and landed two nice Dorado's. We were in awe and clapped and cheered to the very end. This trip will live on and on in the record books of GCLA. Below are just some of the pics - enjoy. Come on Ladies - let's get more pics up here. And by the way, I talked with Pat as we were getting off the boat and we have it again next year.






















And the end to a glorious trip with the Mexican shore line in the backround.
