Hello everyone, The e-mail onboard the boat is still down. I did however talk to captain Jeff Debuys tonight and this is his report for the first two days of fishing. They headed down toward alijos and in route to the rocks looked at an area that had some signs of albacore and bluefin tuna. The wind was up a bit in the 15 to 18 range, they did not have a whole lot to work on as 3 yellowfin tuna and one albacore in the 20 pound range were all they had to show for their efforts. The gang arrived at the rocks at noon and had very good action on yellowtail with many in the 30 to 45 pound range, along with 18 yellowfin tuna most in the 35 to 55 pound range, the biggest being 90 pounds. Today however the tuna bit much better with 85 beautiful yellowfin hitting deck of the Independence, most of which again were 30 to 55 pounds. The yellowtail also made a good showing thoughout the day and 130 fish were tagged, many of which in the 30 to 45 pound bracket. The weather has been about 15 knots and choppy seas but during the course of the day the wind backed off until they had to use a balloon on the kite to keep it flying. Jeff said they are planning to spend another day doing the same and see how it goes, he did mention the Excel on a 5 day trip had 80 mixed albacore and bluefin today and wants to check that out for at least one if not 2 days on the way home. The 7 and 8 day trips this year have seen some great fishing and are really the best valued trips we offer. Next season's schedule will be up in the next week, so if you want to plan on fishing one of these trips with us next year check back and give us a ring for more info. Thanks for checking in and stay tuned for more on the big fish tackle 8 day adventure.
