A whole lot of water passed under the keel during the past two days of prospecting offshore. Locked into the obvious need to find something new we were fully invested in the cause determined to succeed or take one for the team if thwarted. In the end we are now certain that everywhere we have been is not worth a return; at least for awhile. 
Up we continue focusing on bluefin and yellowfin local tomorrow in beautiful weather. A few tuna would be a fine note to end on. Time will tell. Today's photo features long time Royal Star angler and friend Jeff Cox pulling on a nice yellow hooked in the maelstrom of bait, fish, and birds visible near the bow.
