I played Hookey today (w/ pics!)

[TunaHead]

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!
