Revillagigedo Tagging Voyage

Align CenterScott Brickell - Tag and Release

Hey Gang

So I rolled in the shop last week and I ran into shop regular Steve Wallace. Steve was hanging out with his partner in crime and Scott Brickell - They were killing some time before they rolled across the street to get a bite to eat. Two good guys who both love to fish like the rest of us. Scott and I started to talk and he started telling me about a Tagging Trip he did in March on the Royal Star down at Revillagigedo.


I checked out the Star website and found the pictures of trip. Check out the photos and narrative from the Royal Star Website

03/05/09 After today's report expect a couple of day break as I head up to the show for the weekend. Otherwise, today's feature angler is another that I had the pleasure of meeting and becoming acquainted with throughout the voyage.


One of the many aspects I value about long range fishing is the opportunity I have to meet and interact with such a variety of diverse, interesting, successful individuals. Scott Brickell, in addition to being an accomplished angler, was a character I will not soon forget and sincerely hope I have the opportunity to fish with again. Always the optimist, and generous with his uniquely valuable perspective, Scott had me rolling with laughter as well as thinking deeply following our many conversations throughout the trip. When it came to fishing, Scott was eager and focused while maintaining the ever important joy of the occasion that sometimes escapes those more serious anglers. To each his own of course but I freely admit that it gives me great satisfaction to see anglers express the light hearted exuberance that attracted most of us to fishing to begin with.

Tag - You are it!!!


That said, enjoy today's photos and look forward to many more. Also, my appreciation and gratitude goes out to Scott. I hope to fish with you again on Royal Star.

Great Trip Scott - Trip of a Lifetime

MARINA BEACH

MARINA BEACH
MARINA BEACH
Chennai- Most attractive Tourist Spot is “Marina Beach”. This is the second largest beach in a city. The beach is situated along a 12 km shoreline in Chennai and its width is 437 meters. This beach is famous for its food stalls. In the sea the waves are strong and the sea is rough. Near the beach Anna Samadhi and MGR Samadhi are situated you can have a look. When you stand in the seashore near water, the waves come and touch your feet is a memorable experience. If you have time to visit Chennai don’t forget to visit Marina Beach.

A Variety Pack - Aloha Spirit Style


Matt Salas - Jackpot Ling on the Salas 7X Heavy


Hey Gang - We had another good trip on the Aloha Spirit with Jay Maeda. The weather reports during the week were not looking good at all. The wind has been blowing all week - actually, the wind has been blowing for DAYZ out at all of the Islands. and the Offshore regions It was been really tough for everyone who have been counting the days and know spring has arrived. I had my serious doubts about any good news about the wind.

Shawn had a great line where
"You never know about the weather at this time of the season. You just have to show up where you never know when It might be Your Day."

We showed up to the landing at early dark thirty and was pleased to see No Wind. There was a little, but it was not bad at all. Rolling out the island there was a nice lump on the water, but once we split the Islands and got into the protection of Santa Cruz we were inside the wind bubble of flat calm seas - GREASE. Big Reds, with the usual variety of Rock fish started to hit the deck.

Check out the Nice Weather behind Stoney and the Tanji's.

"Check out my Kelp Cutter - Dang thing works pretty good"

So what do you suppose Bobby managed to snag?????

Captain Shawn and Bobby Tanji - SeaBass

"I'm number 9" - Matt and Jessie

Nice Reds, The Biggest Barber Poles we have ever seen, more rock fish, some Calico, a few Legal Barries, a CBass, and a Jackpot Ling filled the 250 Qt Cooler - Variety. Time to breakdown the gear and head home for the Barn.

Getting Busy on the Board

Back to the Barn

We had a good day of fishing. We would like to thank Shawn and the Crew of the Island Spirit for yet another great day on the water. These guys really love to fish while making everyone feel like they are at home. I highly recommend the boat to anyone who wants to fish the Northern Islands in Style. The Boat truly lives up to the name - Living Life in The True Aloha Spirit

Subject: FW: Cachuma trout derby

Bob and I had a relaxed weekend at the 14th annual Lake Cachuma 2 day trout derby - though the trout were hard to come by, After hours of boredom trolling while listening to tunes on the Ipod; we switched tactics to our favored species. The bassin' was excellent on gitzits and roboworms. Smallmouth were found on rocky points and walls, while the largemouths were caught on the flats near Arrowhead Island.




Day 1 = 20 bass ( Large and Small mouth) and 1 trout

Day 2 = 18 bass ( small mouth) and 1 trout

The 2 trout we managed to hook had no tags so they became - steamed on the grill - dinners.





Trout Derby results:

High tag #591, caught by 13 yr. old girl = $2,000

2nd highest tag # 585, caught by 7 yr. old boy = $1,000

Longest trout 22 1/8 inches( 7.0 pounds) = $1,000

~820 derby participants caught 23 tagged trout out of the 300 tagged. Of course plenty more without tags.

Nice to see the " next generation" of fishermen win the big cash awards! The oldest angler to land trout was 93 yrs. old. Wow.

Tim


Thanks for the pictures Tim -Well Done
