Jeanine Mellem Fishing Trip on board Ursula IV Nov. 15th and 17th
Hello Kathy.
We did have a good trip home, no problems. On our last fishing trip there was just three of us because Peter got sick on Sunday night. We caught 2 tuna and 5 dorado among us. One dorado was a good size, one was quite small and the rest were medium sized. We both took home about 25 pounds of fish filets. Since it was not as much as we usually get we were able to freeze all of it in our freezer in the condo where we stayed.
It was the first time fishing for my sister and her husband and they said they enjoyed it very much. There is one thing we were not happy about ... when we buy $30 worth of bait fish we would like to see it used as bait for fish. On the last trip I had to ASK that they rig up some live bait for trolling. Hugo told us (on Sunday) that it attracts the larger dorado and when we did use it (on Tuesday), we did catch the large dorado. But they only rigged up two fish like that and used one or two to throw out when we were reeling in fish. At the end there was a LOT of bait left and it was thrown to the birds that followed us into the marina. We would have preferred to use all of the bait fish for FISHING not for feeding the birds. I think that "Tony" (he had too many names) thought that providing a show by feeding birds and sea lions was something we would enjoy. But we'd rather use them for fishing...
Other than that they crew did a good job.
I will send some pictures in a separate email.
Did your daughter like the candy I sent back to you with Olter?
Best wishes.

Esta Zettel Trip Oct. 24th
Kathy,
I can report that we always enjoy our fishing with the Ursula IV or III. We have had some fishing trips where the fishing was wonderful with marlin, dorado and sailfish. This last fishing trip, however, was too soon after Hurricane Rick for the fishing to be good. We didn't catch any but we still had fun! Your Captain and First Mate were professional, helpful, and very pleasant.
Of course I always enjoy communicating with you and your husband.
We will continue to fish with you. I'll look for some pictures from past years when we have caught fish and will sent them to you.

Frank's trip Nov. 10th on board Ursula IV
Hola Kathy,
We had a great trip. Too bad we had to come home.
The Ricardo and Hugo were great. We had multiple knock downs and run offs on baits throughout the day missing roughly 15 fish due to short bites and the hooks not setting. The first fish was a Striped Marlin around 150# that was hooked up on a bait and switch with live bait. It put on a great show for almost an hour during the fight. Towards the end when the fish got close to the boat it swam underneath and the line hung up on the bottom of the boat. So Hugo quickly went swimming to save the catch and remove the line from the bottom.
Later in the morning we had a multi-knock down of tuna hooking up with only 1 football yellowfin tuna…too bad we missed the 2 other strikes. That fish was tasty.
We continued to troll northwest towards Golden Gate and found a large school of Dorado around floating debris. We took 4 Dorado with the rest of the live bait and started trolling back home hoping for a wahoo and more tuna but no such luck however we did add another Dorado to the box and found our long dead bait was short striked by a wahoo and missing its body. Next time we are adding a stinger hook.
Thank you to the crew and Hugo for swimming to untangle the line. Most crews would let you break off and we appreciated the extra effort.
I do not have pictures uploaded yet. I will try to remember to send them when I have them uploaded.
Feel free to remind me too.
