Another flawless turn we head south on the next five day adventure with no specific starting point, no bulls eye, no clear zone to hang out hat on. Really since about the middle of June this has been the consistent theme. Every day is different, the results of which are dictated by the whims of bluefin and albacore that are spread all over hell and gone gathering in small pools of favorable conditions that break down as fast as they form turning us out to look anew almost every day. I have commented several times about the good quantity of fish we are consistently seeing, and the potential this represents for very good fishing down the pike, but we are obviously in somewhat of a holding pattern until conditions better organize and provide a consistent pattern to work with.

The good news in the big picture is that we have fish to work with. Every day, just about every where, we are seeing signs of both bluefin and albacore. Getting them to bite is the continuing challenge. So tomorrow we throw our hat in the pool re joining the offshore effort in search of the day's hot zone. The number one component - good weather, is in our favor so we head forth in fine spirits ready to harvest our share. Look for reports to continue and have a fine day!
