Return of the Rutherford's....

Today we had the return of the Rutherford's. The Rutherford and Dickey clans were back at it today, minus a few of the young grandchildren who opted to stay home with Grandma Sandra. I love fishing as much as the next guy, but I can't blame these little munchkins. If Sandra was my grandma, I would have no problem skipping a day on the water to hang out with her by the pool. What a wonderfully sweet woman.

That being said, most of the clan wanted to head out in search of some Tuna. Of the 3 boats, 2 made a long run up towards the Golden Gate Bank, came back towards the Jaime Bank and finally fished the Lighthouse Bank as well. After spotting 3 different schools of Porpoise, the Captains and Clans decided Tuna weren't in the cards and tried their luck with some Marlin. 1 Marlin was brought in. Grandpa Johnny was the smart one today, was their ever any doubt, as he and his boat decided to fish the Sea of Cortez where they got two random Tuna hook-ups and 2 catch and release Marlin. True to form, Grandpa was the provider today, bringing home some real nice filets from the 2 Yellowfin he caught. Can't wait to see you guys back down here in the fall! oh, and give Sandra a big hug for me in case I don't get to see her before I leave.

Karloff Talorda and Margharita, his lovely wife, joined us today for their first time offshore fishing. Celebrating their 1st anniversary, they were really excited to get out on the water. So excited, in fact, that they were here before 5am, not sure of how long it would take to get to the Marina. Unfortunately, they spent more time waiting for their charter this morning than they did on the water. They weren't feeling too well and hour into the trip and came back around 8am. Next time maybe try some of that amazing sea-sickness medicine, Scopace.
