42 pass. 2 bluefin tuna. We were around fish all day but never found the magic school. Another example of how truly special days like yesterday are.
The morning started off right with steady tuna and yellowtail fishing shortly after daylight. We remained until 10 am when we pulled it and tried to finish off with some more wahoo. We had a few stops for a dozen skin and are now headed home. We have had a great trip with an outstanding group of anglers, excellent weather and delicious food. We will be traveling the rest of today and tomorrow and arrive at the dock on Sunday. You can call the office on Saturday night for our ETA. 619-390-7890 Thanks for checking in.

Our morning started off at 4:30. There was some good meter life on the first spot we looked at so we woke everyone up to try it and we had it figured out in the first 45 minutes. A few good grade yellows and a whole lot of smaller ones so we brought the lines in and continued down. An hour later we tried another spot for some more nice yellows but not enough so we continued down. The next spot a couple hours later was a disappointment. Not much yellowtail and not much wahoo. We got one wahoo almost to gaff before it spit the hook and swam away. So we continued down. The next spot we tried produced one beautiful wahoo and showed pretty decent sign of good grade yellowtails that didn't bite like you'd think. We caught some but it didn't keep us anchored up till sunset so we continued down. 1:30 hours later we were anchored up on our last spot of the evening and again it showed pretty good sign of yellows that bit pretty good for us up until dark. It was good enough to stay put and try it in the morning. We might of caught 1 million dorado today. I lost track at around one hundred and three but it might have been around 1 million. Unfortunately most of these dorado weren't much bigger then a neck tie and we let most go to fight another day. The weather was windy today. Wind and swell but for some reason it wasn't bad fishing weather. Maybe because our usual direction we worked was down but even when we would slide on a jig strike we never took any mean snaps. The wind came down after the sun went down so we're hoping it stays down.

And here's what we did today. The crew rigged up mucho tackle. I'm talking the grande stuff for the grande fish. After that and after breakfast we did our tuna seminar and I talked Tommy into doing a couple parts of the seminar. All I know for the past 10 years is my tuna seminar. It's nice to get a different perspective. Anyways, after that we were finishing up tackle rigging when poof, all three trollers went off. So we caught a couple meals. 3 nice dorado. So then it was lunch time of street tacos. And then some napping went down and the afternoon movie was Caddy Shack. When 5:00 rolls around it's cocktail hour and it looks glorious. Drinks, cigars, and friends. Then we had baby back ribs for dinner. Once again like the first 2 nights we tried for some giant squid to use as bait, but we were unsuccessful.
Still no storms brewing up down below and we're getting more and more confident we won't be getting pushed out of the fishing grounds until we say so. 2 more days of travel before we arrive. Everyone is enjoying themselves now because in a couple days, it's going to be war. We'll be battling it out with 200+ pound tuna and wahoo.
