Polaris Supreme Fishing Report

Good evening Polaris Supreme fans. Checking in from the tuna grounds. This morning started out at at with kites in the sky and lines in the water right away. We were hoping to start the day off by seeing a school of Skipjack or small tuna below the boat to use as bait, but they didn't seem to find us. Foe those who don't know, that is candy for giant yellowfin. As the progressed, we did however see an increase in shark life. That seemed to be the trend today. We did manage to land a handful of tuna from 50-100 lbs, with Bill Mikkelson leading the pack with a nice 169 lb tuna. At the the age of 84, he's still showing the young guys how it's done. There was certainly good sign of life as we drove around trolling for wahoo, which we managed to throw another handful of on deck. Speaking of wahoo, Chef Mike served an amazing wahoo melt sandwich today for lunch that was to die for. A slow day of fishing can always be cured by a nice eal, and Mike never fails to deliver.

So, tomorrow we fight on and hope to get on that one school that wants to chew for us. That's all it takes. Thanks for checking in and til tomorrow, this is the boys on the Supreme saying good night.

That's what we have our weather programs on board for though. To...... Read More

We spent today offshore mostly looking to top off on dorado. There were 7 of us long range boats looking to do the same today. There was plenty of this warm water for all though. Unfortunately there wasn't enough kelps with fish on them for all. We were one of the more lucky ones. We didn't completely top off but we were only 20 fish shy. Along with the dorado we caught some small...... Read More
