Fish Report for 1-17-2006
We arrived on the grounds in the late morning to a breezy eighteen to twenty knots of wind and a sea condition that although workable, was still a distant cry from ideal. There were no surprises however as the forecasts, that have been on the money so far, prepared us for what we found. At the very least it was an improvement over yesterday, and all things considered, we were thankful for that.
As far as the fishing is concerned I can't say there was any improvement. In fact, the water temperatures dropped significantly in accordance with the wind, and it appeared that the area that has been holding the best fish for the past two weeks shifted. Now comes the challenging part - relocating the zone and then getting down to business. At day's end it definitely appeared that the weather was beginning to release it's grip so it looks like tomorrow just may be a pivotal day for us. Time will tell and so will we; stay tuned.

Fifteen to twenty two knots of wind: Seas become a significant obstacle while hook to land ratios on two hundred pound class fish plummet. Twenty two to twenty five knots. A real challenge to overcome these conditions while targeting big fish. It is difficult enough to...... Read More

Well we were hoping for a hero's welcome but were gruffly reminded of our status as mere mortals at the mercy of the ocean's moods and what is doled out to us. In today's case we were handed a dose of unpleasant weather that deteriorated as our day progressed into evening. As predicted, the unfavorable weather change was viewed equally by us and the giant yellowfin as they made themselves elusive at best but mostly just scarce. This is not...... Read More
