Arrive depart today. We offloaded a beautiful catch, got fuel, changed oil + fuel filters, swapped out some crew and left the dock by 10:00. We're good. We left on a very long running charter called the Heil charter. I won't go into our bait loading, I'll just say we have some bait on board. We were in the fishing grounds before 3:00 this afternoon. The couple boats that departed yesterday had some good yellow finning. When we got there it just had that "should've been here yesterday" kind of feel to it. We didn't see much. We had one long drift where we picked up 14 but other then that it didn't feel like we were going to get a hit so we rolled out of that zone. Below there didn't look much better until right around 8:00 when the sun fell we had a good old fashioned blind jig strike that resulted in a good stop. We always fish till the end over here and tonight we were rewarded. The fish bit full speed but only for a flash but it was long enough to get everyone on board at least one with many getting three or more. They were snapping. I call departure fish free fish because we weren't even supposed to be fishing. They're free. Anyways we're going to fish again tomorrow. See you then.
Oh yeah, the weather is still sooo nice. We're going to have to pay for this stretch.
Spent most of our day in search mode after spending 2 days on the beach. Late in the day the group effort was rewarded. We ended with 55 yellowfin (15-35 lbs) and 75 small yellowtail for 36 anglers. Some nice schools of bluefin were also seen in the same area. A 20,30 and 40 lb rod will be perfect.

Hi friends. A little weekend wrap-up for you all to update our doings down at the boatyard. The hull and outer bulwarks are completely finished and it looks amazing. Jesus and the boys did a fantastic job and the only parts left to paint are the inner bulwarks, the deck and we've spent the better parts of Friday and Saturday sanding, grinding, and acid washing the "bus stop" and the bait tank so that they can be painted this upcoming week. Starting on Monday, along with the painting, it's time to get prepared to ready the boat to get back in the water and hopefully, we'll be placed back in the water on either Friday or next Monday. Our fingers are crossed!
With that, we'd like you all to keep Jed in your thoughts and prayers. Last Friday, Jed was involved in accident with a machete and severed a tendon in his thumb. He is supposed to have surgery this week to repair the tendon and his expected recovery time will be all the way until August. Obviously, Jed won't be on the boat for a few months so keep him in your thoughts and we'll let you know how he's doing now and then.
With that, take care and we'll chat with you tomorrow.
