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...

Friends Todd and Sean fishing nearby.

One of the crab pots with a few Dungeness crab.

The business end of a lingcod. Food goes in but it doesn't come out!

Good going. I played hookey and only worked on the boat.

Willy, I just looked outside and there is a stiff breeze today. The sea is predicted to build to 9 feet.

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.

The name of my old GW 25 was "Playin Hooky".
