Good evening everyone! This here is just a teaser. We're out for a couple days and then we're dockside for a little. You won't be reading steady emails for another week and a half or so. I'm going to keep this short until then. I'll explain all about our new electronics and things later when we have them more figured out. For example I'd like to figure out how writing these reports can be more comfortable. Nevermind I just figured it out. This keyboard is cordless. So how does it charge? Good example there. I wonder if I can write this in bed? Anyhow, we fished some today. We got in the zone around 5 and it wasn't boring. We were pretty much always running on something until 7:30. There wasn't much meat to it though.
Just few fish spots mostly. We have a yellowfin to show for it. First tuna of the year!
We'll be in this zone tomorrow. Give it all day and see how it goes. We'll cover more ground tomorrow with 12 more hours to fish that's for sure. I'll write much more later I promise. I"m still figuring this computer out.

We're going to go ahead and chalk this one up as a travel day. That's pretty much what we did today. Starting last night. And it was a rough one. As soon as we got a couple hours northeast of the stones things got a bit windy and the boat started to rock. Not good sleeping weather. We got through it though. Even Chef Mike got breakfast out without too much whining this morning. Things started to smooth out a couple of hours prior to arriving to our fishing hole. Our fishing hole didn't prove to be very productive though. So we traveled up. That's something you have to do on these longer trips when you fish the Rocks or the Ridge. It's a long way down there. So we caught a few wahoo on our travel day.
Unfortunately the weather picked back up this afternoon and we've been scooping waves over the house steady since 3:00 or so. Right now I turned it down swell for dinner because we have a couple hours to kill. We're going to head back up to our tuna/wahoo honey hole from the beginning of the trip and hope for good weather. Just two days left to fish on this trip.
Captain Matt and the boys have come out of the gates firing. 70+ yellowtail out of their first stop. Stay tuned.
