East Cape-It's not doomsday
East Cape-It's not doomsday
Before getting into this weeks report I want to talk a little about the Jen Wren repair after hitting a whale shark. Saturday the mishap occurred
punching a shaft strut up through the bottom of the boat causing extensive damage. It is a miracle we got her home and on the trailer. I wasn't
sure where to start with the repair. Well, I'm fortunate to be surrounded by good people who worked day and night. On Thursday (just 5 days later) we
were launching to go fishing. It did take a couple more days to get all the kinks out but now I'm pleased to say she is as good as new.
It just cracks me up what 10 days of slow fishing can do. All I can say is it's not doomsday! In fact both Jen Wren boats took limits of tuna
yesterday. Not just footballs either. Twice during the week we had yellowfin tipping the scales at 90 pounds.
We have already released more blue marlin this year then last year plus sailfish and striped marlin have been plentiful. Even through what we have
called tough fishing, boats have been able to go out and catch a billfish or two everyday. It is really just the anglers insisting on targeting
dorado and tuna that have gotten the goose egg.
Dorado have disappeared for the time being but tuna are starting to pick up the slack. The bait situation is the best it has been all year and even
squid is starting to become available. No, it is not doomsday, just a normal cycle that is not uncommon.
Lucky to still have Jen Wren
13 year old Jack Pafford with his father Mark and grandfather Ed
Jack not only landed a 90 pound tuna he also released his first striped marlin.
I can hardly wait for Jack's teacher to ask. What I did on my summer vacation

Sounds like it was "Doomsday" for the whale shark. Any word as to it's fate? They are gentle giants and, while I am sure the collision was accidental,
it would be good to have some follow up. Thank you.

It's all about getting that boat back on the water. Never mind the whale shark, they're not good eating.

Maybe the fact that it's posted under Baja Fishing and Hunting would be a clue to you.

It's called kill and release.
