This past week was spent offshore catching yellowtail and waiting for the bio-mass of yellowfin tuna to move within our range. On Wednesday we started to see the first sign of tuna in our area and caught 8 yellowfin and 5 bluefin. Thursday and Friday we only caught 2 yellowfin but the yellowtail fishing was phenomenal . Thursdays passengers caught full Mexican limits of yellows in the 7-11 lb. range. On Saturday Capt. Ray had a very good day as he caught 1 yellowfin 1 albacore and 82 yellowtail. On Saturday we also had a couple other 3/4 day boats out of Seaforth connect with a few tuna. All and all I am very excited to see what October brings. We had another tropical storm down south which should bring some more warm water up. This could be a very special October so don't put your fishing gear away yet!

After a juicy prime rib dinner and a movie last night, the guys were
fast asleep. Today after breakfast we did our tuna and wahoo fishing
seminars. After lunch we spent the afternoon reading, leaders, rods,
reels, and putting together a few spare gaffs.
Our bait looks beautiful and the weather going down great. There is a
couple of guys who couldn't make it this year that we already miss being
around. Charlie we miss you doing laps. Hope your wife is doing well.
And Jimmy, Javier said today would have been a great day for bean soup!
Our evening consisted of chicken Cordon Blue, another movie and back to
bed. Tomorrow we may do a little fishing for meals and hors d'oeuvres.
We will let you know how it goes.
