Action packed best describes the results of our move west that featured non stop catching on tuna, wahoo, and of course the ubiquitous brown sharks this solitary rock islet is so well known for. As I put it to our anglers though the shark factor, for this place especially, was about a two or three on a scale of one to ten. As such we worked our way around and through the devils for steady results on yellowfin in the 50 - 130 pound class with a few unsuccessful shots at fish even bigger. Mixed in with obscene action on smaller tuna and wahoo there was never a dull moment.

And that is the beauty and trademark of these tagging voyages since the beginning expedition in 2006. Action oriented unlimited access to these incredible islands. Based on conditions, favorable weather, and sign of fish, we opted for at least another morning at Roca Partida before considering our next move to the outside. Indications here are too good to forego an early morning attempt.

Photo today is doesn't quite reach Ansell Adams status but is to my liking nevertheless. Angler's barely visible through the glare are Doug Taylor and Doug Hall while Jai lends his bent fishing rod to the back setting. All three were pulling on good ones on the bow during this late afternoon stop; another classic long range fishing moment.
