Sliding up to a square mile bait ball with hundreds of yellowtail underneath was amazing. Jigs, bait, and a bare hook. W.F.O. on the yellows. Tony Reyes treated us first class. No matter what time I got up, the man was on point. Does this guy sleep ? Really took care of his customers. We will be back in 2012. Boat #5. Q.T should have his patent by then. ( joke only the boat would know ) Wow, this was an awesome trip ! Sliding up to a square mile bait ball with hundreds of yellowtail underneath was amazing. Jigs, bait, and a bare hook.

Everyone on board should know exactly where every piece of life saving equipment is located at all times. Our boat has three huge life rafts capable of holding all passengers and crew as well as life vests, flares, etc. We have always had all the necessary life saving gear on board for every person on the boat. We will be having a mandatory safety procedure meeting in the galley before each trip. There has to be an emergency plan in place. There is definitely much to be learned from this tragedy, we are willing to learn and adapt. I agree.

While I have to admit I have never experienced anything on any of the 10-12 trips I have had enjoyed I am shaken by the sinking of the Erik. Tom Ward from the Longfin and Tony Reyes have been very service oriented and have tried hard to offer a good fishing experience. The sinking of the Erik adds a new demension for the need to have better safety presentations given before sailing. I need to know where the survival gear is and how to use it when getting on the boat the next time I go fishing in the Sea of Cortez.
