Hi rubble,

Ah ... here's your latest !! Awesome report !! Fantastic Pics !! As usual ..... Most very excellent represent on one PBer/anglers' day out on the water chasin' ... and chatchin' fish !!

I was sad to see the Cuda run up the coast so quick but that seems to be what they've done the last couple of years when they approach and make that turn around Rocky Point !! Bonito didn't stay long either !! We saw some residual Barracuda jumping (no birds) at the 'Shoe' Wednesday but the numbers were not good enough for a moo-moo with 31 anglers to chase !! You know how that goes.

As we know ...... What has to be passed up by a moo-moo can provide great action to the PBer/angler !! Just the nature of the beast.

Anywho, great you got all that good Cuda meat to smoke. As you know how to take care of them, after gaff, I'm sure they are in primo smoking condition.

My parents were not rich and we'd smoke our cuda in the late 50's and early 60's but didn't have the smarts to cut out the blood line and yet .... and although strong ... it was still gratefully eaten. Dang I think I still have their taste (Cuda .... not my parents) in my mouth ! ha ha ha

Await your next adventure,

tsurikichi
