FSFA Club member, Chris Pashos, really got into some fish this week! On Monday he boated a nice a scamp and gag grouper on some slow pitch jigging. Not to one-up the door mat he caught earlier this week. Nice fishing, Chris!

Early in the week of May 1, the weather forecast made it look like Thursday, May 5, was THE DAY to run to the otherside to look for Yellowfin Tuna. Wayne Bogle assembled a team of Steve, Steve, Bob, Dave, and myself to make the run in his 31T Cape Horn.

Easy decision – leave early and have the opportunity open for both.
