We woke up before daybreak already in the area where the Captain Cavaughn wanted to start fishing for the day. At daylight we set out the trolling rods and the crew began to scan the area, looking around for signs of life. Before long one of the feathers gets bit and the first cries of "HOOK-UP" echoed across the stern of the Queen. Everyone got really excited and headed for the bait tank in a rush to get a sardine out in the water, but it turned out to be a small skipjack tuna. Not what we were looking for, but the first fish in the boat. We weren't worried.

Wilmer was up to troll and his feather gets slammed hard so we were thinking it might be a yellowfin. No Luck though. Another Skippy. A big one though. Skippies are fun to catch and everything, but we were looking for some tastier swimmers to fill the hold and stock the fridge with. I'm not overly superstitious or anything but when some of guys mentioned a possible spiritual intervention to keep the skipjack away I was up for anything. Since Wilmer and Eric caught the first skippies we thought we would use them for a sacrifice to the fish Gods. We grabbed them by there ankles, hung them over the side and had them chant "No skippies, No skippies, we don't want no skippies" while we dunked them repeatedly into the Pacific. Holy Cow. It works! I'm not sure if it was our ritual or Justin's eagle eyes up in the crow's nest because soon enough a nice paddy came over the horizon and our skippy problem was about to end.

A 38.6-pound skipjack, the second-largest this reporter has ever seen. It was caught by John Yoneda of Escondido, who said he???d look into its potential as a line-class record.

We set out the trollers at first light and began searching for paddies. It was slip pickins on the paddies for a long time. We came upon a school of crashing fish and raced on over to investigate. We had high hopes for yellowfin but were dissapointed when they turned out to be skipjack tuna. We hooked one but couldn't keep the school up with the boat. Bill Valdez and Captain Rick Scott with a nice skippy.
