Pacific Dawn Charter

Well, ladies, let's all celebrate another great charter for GCLA on the Pacific Dawn yesterday. What a fabulous boat. OMG - those bunks were soooooooooo comfortable, I slept like a baby. Me,the forever "earlybird", had to be woken up at 7 am to fish. The night started out on the "wrong foot", so to speak, when Erika became sidelined with a torn muscle in her calf. But the true GCLA that she is, put the pain aside and got on board anyway. She had to - it was her birthday charter and she wasn't going to miss it.



After a very comfortable night, the morning began with the hunt for WSB and halibut. New member Deana hit the jackpot with not one but TWO nice halibuts. The bigger of the two, 25 lbs., landed the starring role

But Lousie and Jamie were going give her a run for her money. Check out these lovely ladies:

Kristin also had a great day landing her very first White Seabass. Even though she has not been on the water since last October, she didn't miss a beat. Well done, Kristin - great to see you back in at the rail again.




Even though I was not one of the lucky ones to get a WSB or another halibut, I was able to pick some very nice "reds" and assorted rock fish.

All and all, it was a fabulous day - we all made limits and came home with full sacks of gorgeous fillets. And many KUDOS to the skipper and crew of the Pacific Dawn - they were just awesome. Whitney, in the galley, even made fresh fish tacos for us on our trip home. We could not have asked for a better trip.

ROCK ON Ladies, we've only just begun !!!!!
