Fish Report for 11-16-2009

Yellowfin make a Showing

11-16-2009
Royal Polaris Crew

We arrived at Hurricane bank at 07:00 hours. Weather was 18 to 22 knots out of the north, most of the day. Wahoo fishing was quite slow although the 18 we caught were good size fish. We ended the day with 28 Yellowfin tuna, two fish over 200 pounds and except for a couple under 100 pounds, most were 130 to 190 pounds. The majority of our fish were caught on fly-line Sardines and the largest at 204 was caught by Bruce Benedict, just before dinner. Doug Patterson had the second largest on the fly-line bait at 190 pounds. Bot won Royal Polaris jackets. Fifteen years old Zachary Schenk got a 170 pound fish on the kite right at dark. Unfortunately we had rather heavy losses today, because of the weather with many fish chewing through 100 pound and quite a few hooks pulled. We are scratching at the flyer\'s right now and we are hoping for a good day tomorrow.

Wish us luck, the R/p crew.

Weather today was 15 to 18 knots out of the northwest and a bit lumpy but still a great ride going downhill. We had a short seminar in the morning about fishing Yellowfin tuna and Wahoo at Hurricane bank. The crew helped passengers in the morning and made some new gaffs. Billy and Aaron did some boat maintenance. Meanwhile some passengers watched movies in the afternoon while others read and took naps. We will arrive at Hurricane bank...... Read More
