~~Aug 25
Once again, today we had a good day. We started our day off fishing bait. Wide darn open on the small greenies. I was singing the Who song "rain on me" because it was raining bait. It didn't take long to get what we needed for the day and we headed off to the bluefin grounds which is right there. We had one OK stop but right before lunch was our good one. I remember because I ordered my lunch when we didn't have anything going and when I walked outside we had 4 going. I can power down a meal pretty fast though and that's what I did. We were able to drift with that school for hours before it stopped biting. We had a couple per round of those 30-40 pounders. I call those the perfect grade. They are manageable, meaning they're fairly easy to bring to the boat while at the same time when you do you always end with a smile because they're big. The perfect grade. After they stopped biting say around 5:00, we looked for another school unsuccessfully for an hour so we ran back to the bait grounds and had a little start on our re-bait. We'll finish in the morning. Having this perfect bait right next to the fishing grounds is the most special thing about this area. It's more special than the beautiful bluefin we're catching. Sometimes where you caught your bait is more important than where you caught your fish. No bait, no luck.

Good evening everyone. It's evening where I am right now anyway. It may not be when you read this. We left on a 6 day this morning. We stopped to get bait and yes, there is still a shortage of sardine. We got about 30 scoops of jumbo sardine mixed with all size mackerel. Then we took a couple scoops of beautiful looking anchovy. We skipped the sardine seminar and concentrated on an anchovy seminar. The lost art. 20# test, # 2 hook. Finess fishing. When you find out how good of a fisherman you really are. That's what the tuna are feeding on around here so they'll hit them fine if it's presented right.
We'll be hunting tuna tomorrow first thing and we'll take it from there. The weather now is stellar but they're forecasting some wind tomorrow afternoon. We hope they're wrong.
