"Fishing out here is still very, very good," noted the report from Independence December 4. "We have had another five cows come over the rail with Vlad Chernoguz landing the largest at 277 and another 220. Sam Raiter caught another cow going 210 pounds and added a 190 to that. Mike Banda put in some time night fishing and landed a 240 at midnight using a Skipjack for bait, and Joe Solomon from New York put another cow on the boat that went 260 pounds.

"We have been catching a handful of wahoo each day as well. The wind has come up a bit to a steady 20 knots, still very comfortable on the big ole Indy. Sardines have been the hot ticket, chunks have been working also and the heavy jigs in the early AM have been a way to get bit. Fishing is very much like back in 04/05 with excellent sign of fish day and night.

"Overall we have tagged another 74 fish the last two days in the 130 to 277-pound range. We plan on giving this one last shot tomorrow then heading up the line with a stop or two along the way for yellowtail or dorado to add a little color."
