Hello Anglers, Today started out slow with no fish around in the early morning. Around 0800, we could see a large bird school with tuna and porpoise pushing a large bait ball around. After drifting for a few minutes we started hooking some heavy fish on fly lined sardines and a couple on rubber flyer's. The first few fish were in the 80-100 pound class and they just kept getting bigger all the way up to a 300 pounder that David Choate caught on a Braid Flyer on a helium balloon down wind. I wish everybody could have seen the boil it made....wow. Andy Marcum also caught his personal best, a 264 pounder. There were a few heartbreaks loosing big fish next to the boat. Didn't see much for the rest of the day until just before dark when got another school to stick. We hooked a dozen fish but were only able to land four of them. A big jag of brown sharks got on us and ate all the heavier tuna that soaked on the lines. Tomorrow we will stick to the same routine and try to capture some more trophies. The weather is really nice now and we will spend our last two days in this area. JUSTIN

Our anglers were only able to hook two fish and the school didn't stick around. Auggie Roberts landed a 215 on a mackerel and that was our biggest fish for the day. There was really no sign of fish until late in the afternoon when we...... Read More
