We accomplished exactly what we set out to do today; catch a good layer of fish to begin our first well, shake the kinks out of our muscles and get familiar with each other at the rail, and have a good, relaxing first day of fishing while doing it.

We can only hope that tomorrow will go as well as we are officially underway for the big fish area that again today produced some remarkable giant yellowfin tuna fishing. We are well prepared, backed up with the right load of bait, and thankfully looking at a decent weather forecast for at least tomorrow, so following one more sleepless night for most of us, we will finally arrive in what we hope will be the promised land.
