Report by Floyd Spangler
Everyone was on time, the jr’s did a great job of getting the adults there on time. The Nautilus left the dock right at 6:00. We had a meeting in the galley as we motored out to the bait barge. The first order of business was the usual safety and boat talk. Then, a first for the jrs., We had a birthday party, not for one, but three people, with cup cakes for all. After we sang happy birthday, we got to eat cupcakes. Next, the boat loaded a fine bunch of pinhead anchovies. The boat then headed up the coast. We were looking for half-day tuna, i.e. bonita. We found a small school and the jrs enjoyed catching “tuna”. We spent the rest of the time fishing for small bass and other bottom grabbers. We had our raffle and closing prayer on the way in. A big thanks to the crew and captains at Newport Landing. May God continue to bless the Fibers.
