I played Hookey today (w/ pics!)
 

First trip of the season was great!!! (Though it was in my buddy's boat rather than the V20) I'll let the pictures tell the story:

Leaving the port of Trinidad California. Adam is baiting a crab pot (dungeness crab season is open until 8/1)

Pretty marginal ocean conditions ;D This is ~ 17 miles north of where we started. Dean is cranking one in.

The TunaHead himself with a nice lingcod. These are NOT members of the cod family. Have no idea why they are so named...

That's northern CA, where obviously sane people live.
It ain't like that in southern CA.

Thats what I like to see, a boat producing dinner.

Nice job.
