Not a whole lot to report for today's effort. We did manage to scratch up almost a couple of handfuls of nice wahoo, and dedicated plenty of time to the search for quality tuna, but the real victory of the day came in the form of perfect slimy little green "soap bars" that we hope will position us for success tomorrow and beyond. "Soap bars", for those who did not fish long range vessels when bait making was a regular task, are perfect, hand size green mackerel that are cherished for their heartiness, vigor, and effectiveness by both anglers and game fish alike. We are presently loaded with these perfect mackerels, as well as beautiful sardines, ready now for the next push south where we plan to continue the search for any and all desirable game fish tomorrow.

With good weather ahead and plenty of time, we have high hopes that the fish gods will smile upon us. It is time.
