A seamless transition into action mode today as we arrived in Cabo San Lucas to greet our eager group of anglers and immediately began rigging gear in preparation for fishing tomorrow and beyond. First stop will be Isla San Benedicto only a short, twenty one hour run to the south where will target both yellowfin tuna and Wahoo before attempting to top off our bait supply and continuing on. Of course there is always the possibility that we will opt to remain at "Smokey" for an additional day or two if the fishing warrants further investigation. That however is a decision that remains to be made.

I would venture that more often than not Isla San Benedicto is a one day program that we are all too happy leave behind. There are those times, albeit very few, however when conditions are right and the Jurassic island produces what we are looking for. In fact, I recall it was last year in February that we clobbered the tuna there. As such we are always prepared for a surprise when visiting the place that has historically produced it's share of giant yellowfin tuna and then some.

Regardless of what lies ahead at our first destination we are well positioned for success with everything in perfect order. This incredible group of highly experienced anglers has the savvy, experience, motivation, and horsepower to make it happen. For the fishes' sake thank goodness this is a tagging voyage. They are getting a real break with these anglers arriving on scene. Before I get too far ahead of myself however foremost is the fact that they have to be there. Then we have to find them. Then they have to be in the mood to bite. Nothing to it, right?

Stay tuned for fishing reports to begin tomorrow.
