Got a late start from Remleys (person bringing the Ballyhoo, forgot he was bringing the bait). Had 2 co-workers and my 11 yrs old son on board. Because of the late start headed to Comanche and trolled out from there. Had a few knockdowns, Caught a slinger and a Bonita. Then nothing nothing nothing. After 5-6 hours of nothing we decide to troll in and bottom fish. 5 minutes after changing course (around 2pm) caught a 5 lb dolphin that tangled 2 lines because we did not know there was anything on it and it swam into another line. Then a slinger.
All fish between 100-115 feet.
We trolled 7 lines (one downrigger, 2 outriggers, 2 flat, 1 short out the t-top and 1 wayback). Only one tangle.
before 9am:
1 dolphin
1 Bonita
a few knockdowns
After 2pm:
2 dolphin
2 kings
3 Cuda:

If you can’t stand behind our soldiers, try standing in front of them.
I’ve been thinking about the bean bag, but I’m afraid he will not get up . He took about 7 naps. on the fishbox, leaning post, in front of the console. But he has a bean bag in his room that I might try.
