Report: had a great day on the annual Fishinghotpage charter aboard the "Outer Limits". We didn't exactly kill the fish, (21 albacore for 20 anglers) but we had a great time with good company, crew and boat. Shane decided to take us for the long haul south after having a poor day (10 fish) out to the west (butterfly). The decision paid off and we were able to double yesterdays count. The jackpot fish was 33 pounds and taken by Ty Milliken. I managed a 28 pounder (on #20 test) for a close second. Hot stick on the boat was Jofishmore who took 4 albies, all on his bait stick. Way to go Joe! The fish were ranging in size. We would hook a #6 pounder on the troll and then a #25 pound baitfish. Strange. I'm looking forward to my two day trip on this boat in aug. Should be awesome!
