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.
Jeanine
