7/23/2006 - Surface Time In HOT California.
Well i just spent this last week July 14 thru July 21 in my home town of San Diego Calif visiting my folk s and seeing friends and all the tourist things.When i left Chicago it was in the 90 s the whole time i was our in SD it was in the 90 s but hey it was nice i love the HEAT.
I did have two good choices while i was there and that was to either spend the day up at La jolla Cove diving or taking an all day sportfishing trip for Albacore Tuna. Well seeing how i only had one week out there and knowing that the Albacore run was on and having done the trip s a million times when i lived there and when i go back every 3 to 5 years it was not hard at all to pick.
Hey it s in my blood i took the Albacore trip.My fishing buddy keep s all my deep sea fishing gear at his place so you see i always have gear there no use for it back here in Chicago on Lake Mich. Besides Ocean Fish put up a bigger fight then lake fish.
Our boat left with 20 of us on Sunday night at 11pm and we came back on Monday night a little after 8pm . It was a nice trip and it was great to get out and see no land and smell the ocean air.I got 2 Albacores one was a 28 lb and one was a 26 lb. No i did not hook and release no one would ever think about that with Albacore, Blue Fin ,or Yellow Fin Tuna. Some people on our trip caught a couple of Blue Fin Tuna s also.Later on in the week we had BBQ Albacore Steaks what a BBQ.
The trip to Calif was great,planning on going out next June for a week or longer and next time i will make it to LaJolla Cove for a day of diving and also make another Albacore run.
