"We had another good day of fishing on big tuna," said Excel skipper Justin Fleck January 27.

"The action didn\'t start until the late morning for us but once they got on us, they stuck. Angler of the day had to be Bill Sands of Valley Center. Bill started off the day with a 208-pound tuna for his personal best. Later in the day he beat that with a 218-pounder. Both fish were caught on fly lined sardines.

"Al Scow \"the fisherman\'s pal,\" also added another cow to his impressive resume with a 215-pounder caught on the kite. The weather remains outstanding for us so we are going to sit tight and do it all again tomorrow."
