Today we turned and burned in hopes of getting back into that great biting tuna! Hopefully they are just as eager as we left em!

I would call today a very disappointing day. We had The Rocks to ourselves today after a 3 day rest and I thought we were going to get um but it was not to be. 0 wahoo. 0. Not even a short biter. We trolled for 4 hours for nothing. I think what I'm trying to say here is we didn't catch any wahoo. We caught a few handfuls of yellowtail in the morning before the sharks took things over and after realizing there were no wahoo to be had we went offshore and looked for a kelp the rest of the day to see if we could get 1 that way or a bunch of Dorado's but that was not to be either. The fishing today stunk. Everything else today was lovely though. The weather today was really nice. The sun was out and the seas were flat. The food is always great out here and the scenery was lovely as well. We're working our way back towards home now to extend our fishing time for the trip. We're going to top off on those beautiful yellowtails tomorrow and spend our last couple of day
s hunting the bluefin tuna.

We had a pretty good day today. We were due in the zone at 8:40 AM but we didn't make that ETA. We got caught up in a stop a few miles prior that bit pretty well for us. Then we spent maybe too much time in that zone looking for another deal that never came. So we mosied on down and found another little zone which gave us our best stop of the day. That was a good stop. We caught a couple tuna reaching close to 40 pounds on that one. And then the life pretty much disappeared until late. So from lunch until 5 or so we didn't catch anything. Then wouldn't you know it, before dark we started seeing life again and stopping the boat and catching fish again. I guarantee you us catching fish right before dark and nothing since lunch wasn't a coincidence. The fish were down hanging low where we couldn't see them and came up late. All and all it was a good day. A nice little starter for our 10 day trip. 15-25 pound yellowfin mostly with a few we let go and some nearing 40.
The weather held up for us today too. It got a little breezy in the afternoon but then it came down late again. We're heading down tonight and we're going to try our hand at some yellers tomorrow morning and take it from there. We're hoping we get a weather window in the morning. It looks like we should but the wind should be with us tomorrow night on through hopefully only the next day.
I'm supposed to let mama bear know that your forever cub is kicking butt. He got himself a nice one and plenty others today. He won't stop yappin about how much he loves and misses his mommy though. Frankly, we're getting tired of hearing it.

Today was an enjoyable day out here in the old west. We didn't catch much fish, but we still had a good time. I take that back, we didn't keep much fish. We started this morning in a little zone, and it was full speed jiggin um up. Stop and go, stop and go, stop and go. Mostly small yellowfin unfortunately.. There was a sprinkling of good ones in the mix along with some nice yellowtaiil, and it sort of felt like any minute we'd find that school of good ones, but it also kind of felt like we were in the wrong zone at the same time. Funny how that works.
By mid morning we were out of there. We made a move up to the next break. The fishing wasn't very good for us up there, but the weather all day was excellent, and when you have a boat full of friends aboard, you can't miss. We did see some cool wild life. There was a pod of, must of been 10 not sure what kind of whales that swam across the bow. Nobody else saw, but I saw all of them at once breeching when they were about a mile or so off. We also ran across a couple pods of Orcas too. With these we cruised for a while along side of them and checked out the Shamus of the wild. It was some good viewing let me tell you.
About an hour before dark, only 7 miles away, a boat got on a school of the better grade tuna and caught a bunch. Unfortunately for us, we didn't connect before dark more than a half dozen of these but we know where to be tomorrow and we're confident we'll get a bunch.
