Justin Fleck checked in from the Excel with this report. "We spent yesterday offshore and we found some nice warm water with good color. Unfortunately we only found one large kelp. We were able to pick up 38 or 39 Dorado. There were a couple of Wahoo swimming around but we were unable to get one of those. We saw a lot of porpoise with tuna on them. But they hadn't settled in yet. Anyway it seems like the lower banks are starting to liven up. So we have decided to head on down there. It is a long ways down for a 10 day trip but we're going for it anyways.

"We'll be keeping our eyes open the rest of the day and we should be fishing by tomorrow morning. We'll check back tomorrow."
