If that is AZ Dons site yes there is a issue with the server. I talked to Art and he said Don is out of town. Don't have any Idea when it will be fixed.

Sushi!

It's a nice Yellowfin Tuna being brain spiked and bled out.:drool

The deck is actually clean for a tuna trip, if we're in a wide open bite on smaller fish the deck is covered in fish and blood runs out the gunnels.


RED DECKS!!!!!

So this is where you guys snuck off to huh, gee thanks for telling me you MOFOS!.. BTW, it has been nice since the board went down, no whiners, no lame questions and worthless crap to take up my valuable time!... Now if you believe this shit I have this real nice country for sale dirt cheap, PM me for details!...:D:D:D

Now for the good news!. Seems like the the server just disappeared poof gone, so Don and Nick are working on getting it back up under their own server, since Nick is in school he can't work on it full time so it may take a little time to get up and running again, but it should be up again shortly and if you guys are nice I may just let you know when it's up again!...:D:D:D

No one sneaked of any where. We just didn't tell you we were slumming over here, didn't want to distract you with frivolous bull$hip and distract you from your duties at Don's.

Besides if we told you everything we knew you would be as smart as us and that could be dangerous. :D

I'll take BFT over YFT any day.
We get a nice run every year of BFT but the seiners beat them up so bad it's tough to get on a good bite. We see quite a few in the 200 # class (schoolies for you) and sightings of 600# plus fish every once in awhile. We can't land the bigger fish on rod and reel as the 100 fathom curve is right offshore.

The sport boats we fish have refrigerated salt water holds that drop the core temp of the fish rapidly and holds them just above freezing. Serious Sushi grade fish.:drool

Not yet Brad, can't do it till the end of the year when Sandy retires, then it will depend on the real estate crap and what I can get for my house here, hopefully things will turn around a bit I want outa here!... Doubt I can make it on the 27th just too much to do, not to mention this gas crap sucks the big one!..:mad:

Well that sounds like fun. My ride is out of commission at the time.
Still need to fix the bolt that came out of the motor plate and the drive line tube.

I have been to busy with home repairs and yard remodeling and working
on someone else's boat that I have neglected mine.

Not that hard until it gets a little snotty.:D

We eat the YFT, and the Yellowtail and the Albies etc. etc.:drool

Most of the tuna fishing is in mexican waters and it's a five fish a day per angler limit (general rule, it's a little more complicated). US waters no tuna limits.

Not legal to sell any sport caught fish in Cali.

I know this is old as hell, but I sometimes miss the old forum, I think Don gave up on it. Really I miss all the old content that we posted, like the first restoration of my Hondo
