Fri May 6th to Sun May 8th – 38 Hour Tile Express Captain Steven Sr reports that despite “Mother Nature” we beat our way out to the grounds. We did not have a great start to the trip due to the conditions. Fishing was very slow. By 11AM conditions straightened out and we had good drifts with excellent fishing until about 2PM with double headers coming over the rails. Then “Mother Nature” gave us a curve ball and fishing slowed down. By about 5PM things changed and we started picking away again until we had to go home. Captain Steven Sr and mates Steve “Ho” and Steve Martinez filleted for over 3 hours sending everyone home with a great product. All in all it was a good trip with everyone taking home plenty of fish. High hook was Michael Bunch…

Fri April 22 to Sun April 24 – 2 Day Wreck Trip Captain Steven Jr reports a good trip with a nice mix of wreck dwellers. Day one we spent on the deeper water wrecks and had a mix of pollock, tiles, hake, wreck fish and barrel fish. Unfortunately we had tons of the XL sea bass, that we had to throw back, on every wreck we went to. The second day we moved inshore to the cod wrecks and had good action on every drop, but we had a lot of smaller fish. Ron Armet put together a nice catch with a dozen cod, 10 pollock, plus a couple of tile and hake. Also, Tyler Quaresimo filled his cooler up with 15 cod, a dozen pollock, a couple tile, wreck fish and a nice barrel fish. The tile pool…
