We’re steaming home from Guadalupe Island and it’s resident great white sharks after our best trip of the season (so far). Sharks, sharks, and more sharks were around day after day with Bruce and Shredder being especially cooperative and helpful.

The boys just finished cutting up tuna bait on the back deck and we have a 200 litre barrel full of lovely guts, blood and tuna gills ready to start scenting the water.
