A solid effort in the northern zone produced the exact action we were hoping for. Beautiful, 40-80 pound bluefin tuna let their guard down a couple of times getting after the sardines we offered in epic daytime charges. And we were able to hook a few, or more, amidst the fray. Precisely what we had in mind the late afternoon action carried over into the dark providing anglers the chance to shake out their night gear. It was a great day overall; beautiful weather and good fishing at a perfect pace.

Adding premium bluefin to our already incredible bounty resting in the RSW tanks we’ll close the trip out tomorrow in search of a few trophies. There is no better time…
