Hello anglers, Today started out kind of slow which is how it has been in the morning's lately. We had a few wahoo in the along with a few smaller tuna which we used for chunks. We did not see the life we had been seeing in the area we fished the past few day's It seems as though our hot spot had all but dried up. At about 3:30 we moved up the island and saw a couple of spots of fish on bird school's , and a few bigger fish on the sonar .We started to hook fish almost immediately. The majority of the fish were 50 to 90 pound's with a handful in the 110 to 150 pound class, most of these were sardine fish with a couple of fish on the chunk and kite.There was pretty good action until a little after dark then the sharks took over. At about 6:45 we pulled the anchor to go look for flying fish before the moon got too bright. We were happily greeted with plenty of flyers for the first time this trip. We then made our way to the bait grounds to put the anchor down for the night.. The bait didn't bite until 11:15 and did not bite for very long. We got about one box full , and the bait fishing was pretty much over. We will be here again tomorrow. The sign is still around, it's just a matter of the better grade fish settling in again.

Hello Anglers,

Hello Anglers and welcome to beautiful day aboard the Excel. Today was the day for Albacore, and lots of them. We started off a little slow in the morning, but the lull didn't last long. We started with a couple of strikes here and there until about lunch. And of course when the cooks make the lunch call... We all know that is when the bite is going to start (well it seems to work that way quite a...... Read More
