Well our patience wore thin this morning and a slight change in conditions motivated us to bail out in search of an area where the catching was a little better and more evenly distributed. In this respect we definitely succeeded with a late afternoon of steady action on 25 - 35# yellowfin with a smattering of good size dorado adding some welcome variety to the catch.

As far as the big fish zone is concerned don't despair if you are on upcoming voyages and giant yellowfin tuna are in your sights. There is still plenty of trophy yellowfin tuna sign around. But the fish during the past couple of days have gone into a not biting mode with almost all show and no go being the standard not the exception.

The good news in the event the big fish aren't willing, as demonstrated in our successful afternoon today, is that there are still plenty of good options to add to the trophy tuna effort that provide all with an opportunity to work off a little steam in the event the big fish gods are cruel in the selection process. In addition, it sure is comforting and convenient for anglers to have something in the hatch when attempting to exclusively focus on trophy tuna. With this in mind we are presently working up the line intending to spend a few hours of the morning tomorrow targeting yellowtail and perhaps even a few more dorado and school size tuna before calling the fishing portion of the voyage and heading for the barn. Thus far we have been blessed beyond belief with six consecutive days of near flat calm weather and it appears that tomorrow promises more of the same. As such we are looking forward to a final morning of fishing as well as what we hope will be a pleasant journey up the line.
