~~Sep. 17
We had bad odds today. We fished for wahoo and our fish hooked to fish landed ratio was poor. It always is with wahoo but I feel today was extra bad. I think if you're landing half of what you hook with wahoo you're doing OK. Today at best we were 1/3. At best. I called out to 2 of our anglers fishing today and asked what there ratio was for the day and I got a 1/2 and a 1/4. Then my buddy Dave came up to the wheel house and said he was 0/4. So that gives you an idea. If we would've caught half of what we hooked today we would've had a really good day.
Alright. I'm done whining. I'm still glad we came here. Everybody got there chance at a wahoo and there's still a chance for some more tomorrow. We're headed inside now and we'll be fishing for wahoo while we're looking for tuna first thing tomorrow morning. The weather now is fantastic. A little weird this morning with mixed swell and a wind coming from the southwest but it's beautiful now.
We couldn't come to an agreement on a price for someone to wear Mark's shirt today. Justin wanted 200 and Mike said he'd do it for 150 but I couldn't find enough people to chip in. It was a good one too. He was wearing a white shirt today, so by 9:00 this morning he could've entered a wet t-shirt contest. He may have won too if you're into guys like Mark.
23 pass. 75 yellowfin tuna from 12-20 lbs. please bring a 20 lb bait rod a 30 lb bait rod. An optional 4th outfit should be a 40 lb rod to fish an 80-100 gram colt sniper.
A four hour drift, followed by 2 quick stops resulted in 39 bluefin from 30-60 lbs and 28 yellowfin from 20-50 lbs. staying at the rail and fishing either a flyline sardine on 30 or 40 lb. A 60-100 gram colt sniper or flatfall or a 2-4 oz torpedo sinker with a 1/0 or 2/0 circle hooks is the name of the game. Keep em wet !
One good stop made our trip. 58 yellowfin tuna 63 dorado as many skipjack as you wanted.
