The fish gods showed a much kinder disposition today finally relenting and allowing us some good fishing action. A good percentage of the yellowfin we landed were below the typical grade we hope for on these trips, but that hardly mattered to many of these anglers who had yet to hook a tuna this voyage. All that changed yesterday however as we finally found a school that wanted to cooperate. They weren't all fifty to seventy pounders either as seven of the yellowfin landed yesterday pushed one hundred fifty to one hundred seventy pounds and one bruiser for well known veteran Craig Drummond weighed in at a whopping two ninety two. Needless to say we were in desperate need of some positive change and although yesterday won't be remembered as the best day in long range fishing history, the measure of success is all relative. So the battle continues and we are definitely feeeling better about our odds tomorrow providing conditions remain in our favor.

So another day of kicking, clawing, and scratching our way along added to the cause with...... Read More
