Our day sort of reversed from yesterday. Today it was a super slow morning that led into an action packed afternoon. We looked for bluefin tuna this morning. We started off in the zone where it had been in the weeks prior, but like yesterday, it wasn't around. We caught one 12 pounder on the troll all morning. We looked around there and in other places I thought it might have gone but we never saw an meat. We went through one area where at least we were seeing little dabs of the BF but it was diving off on the meter. We could tell it didn't want it.
So we kept tracking around and ended up close to a possible yellowtail honey hole. So we took a look and that's exactly what it was. For the rest of the afternoon till dark we stayed pretty steady on 12-25+ pound yellers. It was good fishing. A very pleasant surprise. We're keeping this ball rolling.
Needless to say, well maybe not needless, but we're going to spend the night here and see what this place looks like in the morning.
