Trip #11 (3-day trip) Aug 17-20, 2018

August 18th, 2018|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers,

We departed this afternoon on our 7th annual Captain Potatohead trip, memorializing Dick Uranga, who taught us how to have fun out here. We decided to fish this afternoon for yellowfin tuna.We arrived in the area and Captain Mike found a school of fish on the surface. We stopped after a fish was hooked up on the troll. We had plenty of action on both yellowfin tuna and skipjack. Everyone had a great start to their trip! I think everyone tagged a tuna and we also landed a few dorado.

Here is a photo of Terry Onishi and the winner of the rod and reel combo sponsored by Seeker Rods and Penn reels. Bob Bower, a long-time Dickie fan, contributed to the raffle and won.
Planning to try this again tomorrow for some more fun!

Our annual fun- and fund-raiser, to benefit PANCAN (Pancreatic Cancer Action Network) in honor of our fallen friend Dick Uranga, left the dock and headed out for a weekend of friends, family, fishing and most of all, FUN! We love you Dickie and will always remember…

Terry Onishi wrapped this Super Seeker 670 donated rod in Dick’s favorite colors. It will be raffled off with proceeds going to charity.
