We started our morning off in the local bluefin zone. We caught 12 of them, 2 of them being the 50+ pounders while the rest were that beautiful manageable 30-40 pound fish and we caught a few yellowfin. On drift number 2 we hooked and lost one. Do to the amount of boats thinking the same thing we were and the lack of fish I was seeing being brought over the rail, I decided to leave early and look for yellowfin for a while. It wasn't long before we found some, and then some more, and then some more. It pretty much was like that for as long as we fished it which was until after 5 when we went back to the zone where we started. We had good fishing pretty much all day long. The only negative thing about it was the grade of fish was a bit on the smaller side. They weren't runts but they weren't great either. 12 pounds is the short version. They averaged out to be 12 pounders. We looked all around for a bigger grade but it pretty much was what it was. I did think that the area we finished up in yellowfin wise had quite a few more 20 pounders mixed in than what we'd been fishing so it may be something to look at tomorrow. We finished up right where we started and we had a long 2 1/2 hour drift. We caught a yellowfin every once in a while, we landed 4 of the 30-40 pound bf's and caught 1 70ish pounder and lost at least 4 of those. We are going to drift tonight and do it again tomorrow.
Great surface action today, hooked 8 with limited time, ending with 5 nice Tuna.

We had an action filled morning today. The yellows were biting good. The only downside was it didn't last long. For whatever reason breakfast only lasts an hour and a half. We found another area that we worked on for a little bit then it went down. After about 10:00 in the morning things were lifeless here until 5:00 this evening. We had a couple shots at them before dinner was over for the fishies. We're going to stay the night and hope things change here for the better. We're hoping breakfast lasts longer and that there will be a lunch. Theres plenty of fish around here when they're up and the grade of fish is wonderful so we want to stay.

Here we go again. This time for 4 days. Tough decision for me today. Do i make a left or a right? As always, they both have there advantages and disadvantages, but in the end, one outweighed the other. So I made a left. I hope I made the right decision Good timing is everything. We're bombing her down below. We've been flying down all day and night and we"ll be fishing after lunch tomorrow. One of the boats caught some tuna down this way today and we're going to try and get in on some of that. We should have good weather for the trip as long as the forecast holds true. We're hoping for lots of fish the next couple days. I could use the pressure release.
