Jeff DeBuys docked Independence August 13 after a five-day trip to the island with 31 anglers.
"We had a good catch," said skipper Jeff. "The sharks are there in force, though, and they got their tax.
"But it was good fishing on the flyline and on the kite," he continued. "The guys have stepped down to 30 and 40-pound outfits and 2/0 hooks, to get bit. Fluorocarbon is a must. It was hot and sunny on the lee side."
Frank Olachia of Westminster won first place and the high roller jackpot for the best fish not caught on the kite. He got a 66.2-pound yellowfin with a sardine on a 2/0 Gorilla hook and 40-pound Izorline. He said he used a Pro Gear Yellowtail Special reel and a Calstar custom 765 L rod wrapped by The Rusty Hook. Store owner and chartermaster Alex Masumoto did the award honors.
Jerry Newman of Minifee won second place for a 64.4-pounder, and John Pollock of Huntington Beach took third place for a 63.8-pound Guadalupe yellowfin tuna.
