Went out on the Stardust for the first time with 2 of my cousins and 2 of my other buddies and had a great trip. Fishing wasn't bad with plenty of nice whitefish, some decent reds, and the the usual mix of rockfish including barber poles, johnny bass, and a few starry eyes. I saw 1 nice legal ling over 25" and quite a few shorts. Weather was nice and cool, with the sun peeking out every once in a while, and the ocean relatively flat.
What I was most impressed with was captain Jason and his crew. These guys run a first class operation. The service I saw and experienced reminded me of the san diego crews. Job well done. Would definitely ride this boat again.
