We covered plenty of ground in search mode today both near shore and on the outside for scant results in the hatch. We did find action, we did enjoy a fine day of beautiful weather, and we did set ourselves up for the next move maximizing fishing time in the process.

Other than catching a worthy amount of keeper game fish, the day was a success. The voyage has only begun however and a good weather forecast combined with favorable reports is fueling an optimistic outlook both on the bridge and down on deck.

We will see if results tomorrow fall in line with expectations. I certainly hope so.
