January 27, 2007: "Hello everyone, weather continues to be excellent at the bank. We had 12 to 15 knots of breeze, with very little sea and all the sunshine you could ask for. It was a very long day, but that all changed at 15:00 hours. We had a spot of fish show up, and boy, did they want to bite! We had as many as 10 fish going at any time. This was a mixed batch of fish, with most in the 40 to 70-pound range, with a few going over the century mark.

"Largest fish today came to chartermaster Jerry Brown. Jerry's fish was around 180 pounds. It was a very tough day of catching, but Billy held his own and the waiting game paid off. Most of our passengers weren't ready, but the quick hands of the crew sure paid off. The bite was fast, hot, and heavy. The bite slowed up once the sun was down, but we have something to look forward to tomorrow."

January 28, 2007: "Let's talk about the weather; we had rain, we had 35 knots of wind, we had flat seas. It was blowing so hard at one point, the spectra on our kites broke, and the reels blew up. You could say we had all season today, but no snow. We had a day of mishaps. We lost a few kites, all 3 of our kite reels stopped working (burned out because of the wind). We are back in the stone age; bring the kites in by hand.

"Now enough about our problems, let's talk about fishing. We had a slow morning, but we did scratch a few fish today. There is still lots of life on the bank, it's just a matter of time. Largest fish today was caught by Jerry Brown. Jerry's fish was caught on a live flying fish, and Jerry made quick work of this giant. Jerry's fish was estimated at 250 pounds."
