We went Tuna fishing out of Westport. It was a father son trip. FishDawg and his dad, DownriggerAl and his 3 sons, myself and my son Jeff.
We had run through the night to reach the fish (Approx. 60 miles offshore). Alan and I started the day dealing with seasickness. ARG! It was a marathon.
The fish were scattered. We'd get a few here and a few there. The sharks would move in and start messing things up. Sharky (aka DownriggerAl) did us all a favor and kept the sharks busy. Slowly our fish numbers climbed. Radio chatter put us doing well compared to others. The learning how to hook live Anchovies was challenging. They either squirted out of my hand or I would get too much meat. Despite the rough start we all caught fish. The boat total for 10 fisherman was 60 Tuna. (Approx 50 LBS. of fillets per angler.)
As an adventure it rated a 5 star trip. This report is not doing it justice. But, work is calling...

Sharkey here Andy also known as downriggeral. Always fun to get together with you. Your son is a real tuna killer and was great fun to be around. What a great time we all had together, it was a real fishathon! Just don't get in FishDawg's way when he has a tuna on. The tuna really lived up to their reputation as hard fighters; what an understatement!!
We'll catch up at Roosevel this fall/winter - Alan

Alan, to say you took one for the team would be an understatement. Now if you can have a run on Kokes like that on Roosevelt! I look forward to future adventures. Andy
