NFITS. Just wasn't very fishy. Water was turned over from all the wind and swell, no bait around, was able to make one lone spanish mac, but the sardines on the boat were healthy.

The gap between north and south island provided some shelter from the wind and kicked out about 7 halibut for the group.

I mostly stayed out deep around 100ft looking for marks to yo yo on, and trolling and fishing deep sardines. nada.

My only fish was a calico on the sabiki. Lots of skunks and plenty of one calico fisherman.

Big fat gill net was set up near the southern end of the island near the tuna pens which was really a bummer to discover after fishing there all day...

Crew was good and took good care of us.
