We put together a solid morning on beautiful grade yellowtail in good conditions. Roughly three hours of steady action
fulfilled the majority of yellowtail desires. Fish in the eighteen to thirty pound class were downright voracious for a
couple of those three hours hammering everything from anyway presented live baits to the surface iron. That kind of
production adds up quick; just how we like it. When came the afternoon breeze we were long gone enjoying the giant lee
while prospecting for bait.

We did find the bait, so much of it that stunning is an understatement in description, but the size and species for our
gangions was wrong. Sardines, by the millions, provided an all you can eat buffet for myriads of birds and mammals in
the region. The show was epic and the scenery incredibly entertaining; the objective of replenishing our supply of live
bait fell way short.

Regardless of the anti climatic end the day was a glowing success. Throwing together a catch of yellowtail down here is
presently no slam dunk. We have our colleagues and network of information to thank for this one. What comes around goes
around. The value of that philosophy in any fishery can not be overstated.

Today's image is another pulled from the first two days of the voyage when we targeted U.S. blues. Larry Higashi was one
of the fortunate's landing this eighty five pound class beauty in the late afternoon.
