We finished up in fine style here at the Bank with another good bite that started in the dark. By daylight we boated ten fish from 150-185lbs and four from 210-285 which brings our trip tally to 17 deuces. Once again most of the bites this morning came on the skipjack with the most effective hook for this application being a 14/0 7691 style j hook. The giant circles also work but because the skippies are such a hard bait we missed a lot more on the circle vs j.
We continued to pick a few fish up to 180 and release the rest until our departure for home this afternoon, fully satiated on trophy yft.
Martin Rudolph is in today's shot with a 225, his second cow of the trip.

01/31/14 Another good day of angling on 70-150lb yft in balmy flat calm weather. Classic tuna fishing with the best action coming in the morning and evenings while midday provides a slow scratch. We did have one shot at a cow but unfortunately the hook pulled. We will be sitting tight here with two more days to fish. This might sound ridiculous but a very effective method this trip has been pinning multiple small sardines on a large hook with a 1/2...... Read More
