Hello anglers,

We departed today on our Captain Potatohead (Dick Uranga) Memorial trip. This will be the fifth year of remembering Dick and his legacy with fun, fishing and friends, and donating to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network fund in his honor.

We made a quick stop at the Coronado Islands this afternoon to try for yellowtail and bluefin tuna. We landed a few yellows and lost a bluefin to a sea lion. The conditions were great and there is a sign of fish there. Pictured is Bob B. AKA “Coco” with a nice yellowtail.

Headed south for some yellowfin tuna tomorrow.

Dave N AKA “Kitty” won the first raffle of the trip and won one of Dick’s rods (re-wrapped by long-time friend Terry O- though his new name is “Fang”) and a Shimano Torium reel. Dave put it to good use and caught a nice calico bass that he released! Dick is smiling about this one.
