We finished off our Phenix Rods/Blackwater trip with a little offshore action on yellowfin and bluefin. This group of anglers were some off the nicest people I have ever fished with. I want to thank Mel Fai again for his generosity and the amazing amount of give aways that he provided. I want to thank all of the new people to the boat who are now part of the Excel family. Thanks to the Chicago Tuna group, it's always a pleasure. Last but not least, I want to thank all of the regulars that make this adventure every year. THANK YOU. Today we departed on the Braid Products 10-day with a nice load of bait. Wish us luck.
