We started the day early yet again. We were out of the house at 5:45am, and arrived to Jordan's at 6:15. It was a fishing day so we were in high spirits right from the wake up. Yesterday we prepped our rods and equipment so we were ready to go this morning. We headed right to the docks, and were off at 6:30. We fished off shore about 2 miles, and caught 4 tuna. Highlight of the trip so far, picture of mine below:





When we got back to the docks, Jordan showed us how to fillet the tuna and several different ways of cutting it to be eaten. We ate it fresh right there on the docks, I wasn't the biggest fan. When we got back to the house around 11:30, we had our work cut out for us. Until 1:00 we cleaned the boat thoroughly, starting on the exterior with brushes and soap going around 3 times. We then climbed up inside to go to work on the interior. Wish I took a before and after because we left that thing looking like a brand new boat. Afterwards, Jordan taught us how to properly disassemble and store the jigs that we used and we went inside and seared some more tuna. It was so good seared, and we are about to make more that way for dinner. We left Jordan's at 2:30.

Today's time: 8.5 hours

Total time: 31.5 hours

    Fresh tuna sushi is great!
    What's the gear that you're using? And how are you fishing for them? Trolling? Casting?

Jackson, Sam, and I had a busy first day. We were up at 4:45am, to shower and make breakfast. After our Eggos, we departed at 5:30 to begin our first day of work. We arrived at Jordan's (our mentor) house just after 6am. When we got there, he introduced us to his sister and her husband, then walked us through his backyard, as when on-shore we will be building a ramp for his boat trailer. We left for the docks at around 6:30, and were out on the water well before 7am with Jordan's friend Mike. We stayed out until 11:30, and Jordan immediately taught us the ins and outs of slow-pitch jigging. We only caught one fish (a king fish), but we learned so much about jigging and the way that we'll be fishing throughout the course of this trip, the morning was well worth it. For the record, Jordan is a brilliant educator and fishing-related teacher. He told us a lot of his life story, including how he sold his IT business and retired early to run his fishing charter company. Truly a s

  Mark Rodeo Weekly Reflection  What a week we had for the first week of senior project. We’ve ended up doing many activities and learning many skills that I never would’ve thought I’d partake in. I’m very thankful for this experience as it has taught me several life skills that I will carry with me throughout my life. Outside of fishing, I’ve learned how to make concrete, how to pour and evenly spread and level concrete, and how to make ramps out of that concrete. I then learned how to use circular and reciprocating saws, and ended up taking apart and rebuilding an entire deck. I learned how to properly use a hammer for banging nails and taking old nails out of boards. This week has allowed me to find a love and fascination with construction. Being able to know how things work to the extent that you can entirely take something apart and put it back together is a highly valuable skill that I want to build upon after senior project. When it comes to fishing, this week has entirely t
