Hi Bob, thanks for the reply. Sounds like you and your buddies are hardcore fishermen with alot of time (and money) on your hands if you can spend months fishing in Alaska and Baja. That's not a bad life and I'm glad to hear you're Humboldt enthusiasts as well. Thanks for that link to Capt Rick's website, I've never seen it before. Those guys in the videos were lucky to get them to the surface, for us, it was a 500-700 foot slog! That's ALOT of pain on the arms and back. Hope we can get them to the surface this time and get a frenzy going. I talked to Capt. Rick btw and he told me (unlike his schedule) he didn't go out Sunday but will be starting next weekend. Bummer because I was hoping to go this Thursday when the weather's nice and calm. I guess I'll have to make it an abalone dive instead. Like you I want to stock my fridge with some Thanksgiving oceanic white meat and give alot away too. Humboldt squid sliced thin and deep fried in bread crumbs is one of my favorite meals. I hope you guys do great and that the squid are running hard this year (500-700 feet of winding sucks!).
Best regards,
Jonathan
