52 yellowtail 7 bluefin. Another fine day of island fishing. All techniques produced.
31 bass 47 whitefish for our 11 anglers. We spent our day in the shallows trying to stay in position to catch a yellowtail but never connected. Still plenty of action for our light load.

Oh how quick game plans can change out here. Hello all and welcome back. Or welcome me back. Or... What was the question? Never mind. I'm back. I had a wonderful trip off. Spent a lot of time with my daughter. She got much cuter in the last month and also became much more of a terror. All joy though.
When we left the dock this afternoon I felt pretty good about my game plan. Go fish yellows for a day or two, then come catch tuna for the last couple of days. We caught over a hundred tuna today on our departure day. Good ones too. 20-40 pounders minus one 20 fish stop on small yellowfin. Well that just threw a wrench in my whole plans. I'm not whining though. We're very grateful for what we caught today. Not every boat in this ocean caught fish today. So we're going to take it one day at a time now. Hopefully we can do this again tomorrow.

Hi friends. It's hot down here -- wicked hot. The bronzing was epic today. Charlie Middleton and Drew even got in on the action. Just kidding, but we did as if they would like to participate in a session with us but they respectfully declined. Bottom line, the weather was excellent today but we could've used about five more knots of wind not only for some circulation but to carry the kite out as well. Anyhow, our fishing was a little on the slow side but it was to be expected with the south swell that rolled through here and threw things off a bit. We trolled up some wahoo today and managed to land a few fish on various artificials and a few on live bait as well. The sign of tuna here wasn't anything to write home about this morning but in the afternoon, we rolled up to a spot of jumpers, kicked the anchor over, and proceeded to hook and land a few in the 40-80 lb. range. We did have our shark casualties today as well but we're hopeful that if we can get a few more fish hooked, we'll keep the sharks spread out and land a few more. We'll see.
Anyways, our plan is to stay here tomorrow and see what the morning brings and we'll base our next decision to stay or go off of that. Wish us luck. Good night.
P.S. Eddie wishes to say hello to Marla. Eddie managed one of those beautiful yellowfin today so he's pumped. He misses you and can't wait to get home and see you.
