Good morning folks. We finished off good yesterday with a great show on Black porpoise and some big fish to go with it. 15 tuna for the day. Three over 200, biggest fish caught by Mark Moffet a 281 that was retrieved in the skiff. Allen Babashof with a 234 and Rich Rose with another cow going 213. The dozen other fish were 150 to 193 pounds and an incredible show on the stops.

Very similar to the explosive action of the Mag bay fishery only it was out here at the Island. With the time spent out here It looks to me like there are good possibilities of big fish to come for trips coming up. It is a lot of work and you do have to be patient but the chances are there. We are on our way home and so far the weather is nice, lets hope it continues.

Good morning folks. Not much to report for yesterday. The fish never really showed until late afternoon. They also were reluctant to bite. With only 4 bites for the day and ending up with 3 tuna I would say it was tough. We had visions of much better after the first day here. Today is our last day and we are hoping it is good to finish up on. Biggest fish yesterday was a 195 caught by Gary Grimaud....... Read More
