143 Yellowtail, 77 Bonito. Amazing November fishing again!
Good evening from the Polaris Supreme bridge. Today was our first full day of travel. We still have this big swell following us down the line, but it's not doing us any harm. We're rolling down swell with it, so it's not a real big deal. I wouldn't mind it being a few degrees warmer, but it is the middle of February. Everyone got to sleep in a little bit and have a nice breakfast at 0800. The crew gave a wahoo seminar mid morning the get the guys tuned up on catching some "skinnies". It's nothing new to the OTR guys, but a little refresher course never hurts. They got right into making their leaders, rigging wahoo bombs and so forth. Certainly helps break up a travel day. Chef Mike and Gringo put out a real nice Chicken and artichoke penne pasta with pesto sauce and garlic bread for lunch. That dish always makes for a nice nap afterward.
The rest of the afternoon was just a bunch of catching up with old friends, eating more food as we always do on these trips and the crew doing a few chores before dinner. Just another standard travel day here on the Polaris Supreme. Till tomorrow, this is the Supreme boys out.

Well this day has to start with last night. During and after dinner the military helicopters were up and they were blowing up San Clemente and it was rad. We could see the tracers which were very bright and flew just as fast as the 5 rounds in between each tracer with about each strafing run having about 12 tracers per, which is over 100 rounds. We could see the glow of each tracer bouncing off the island. And after we thought it was cool enough we went to bed.
In the morning we started fishing. We had a little action. We basically drifted for a couple hours hooking fish. Sometimes we had one going, sometimes we had four, and sometimes we had none but for some reason it didn't add up to as much as we would've thought. We were losing alot and we attributed that to the hammer head sharks that were swimming around. We think that they were stealing a lot of the tuna we hooked. When that dried up we went searching and a little after 10:00 we found a dandy school and went sideways(drifted) for a while. I'd have to call it almost wide open for about 1/2 an hour and then a pick for 15 minutes after that. During lunch we were drifting on tuna too but we weren't hooking a whole lot. We only caught about six that time. And after that the life vanished so we moved on.
It took a couple hours but we found what we were looking for. Tuna. Unfortunately they were the non biting ones. I'll tell you though, it was a sight to see. Sonar schools, breezers, boilers, foamers. You name it, it was awesome. We did get a couple descent drifts there in the end and all and all we're calling this a very successfully trip.
We'll be dockside until Oct. 3. You guys didn't book. My babies going to have to wear hand me down shoes now. All of her friends are going to make fun of her. Oh well. We"ll get through it. We'll do a little maintenance on the boat while we're in but we don't need to do much. The boats been running great as soon as we got rid of those early season gremlins. See you all Oct. 3rd.
Drove out to the honey hole and immediately saw fish. After drifting for a couple hours it became obvious that today was a different day. We had plenty of tuna around us but unfortunately they never reached the aggression level we wanted. We ended with 24 yellowfin tuna.
