It appeared that we were going to have our slowest day of the trip today when the morning bite failed to materialize and the early afternoon produced mostly small tuna which we released. When we least expected it we started picking up wahoo and surprisingly they kept coming onboard in pretty good numbers and larger sizes than we’ve been seeing thus far. Whether a new batch swam in or the home guard just decided they were hungry is uncertain, but we didn’t question our good luck and after today I think everyone has some wahoo for the trip. The wind was blowing hard all night and again this morning, but by early evening it seemed to back off finally. The evening bite was also disappointing producing only two fish with one around 120 off the kite and the other was caught on bait and weighed in at 181. I know this is a short report but I really can’t think of much more to tell you about today’s activities. We have a full day of fishing tomorrow and a partial day after that before we head for the Cape and call it a done deal. That’s plenty of time to add to our already outstanding catch and you can rest assured that nobody is breaking down tackle yet and we are all still psyched and ready to crown a new cow king if the opportunity presents itself. We’ll make kite bait tonight and be at it again long before any of you are awake.

POEM OF THE DAY

My kite turn I had to pass
Cause my bait was a total ass
It refused to go out
And said with a pout
