07-03-2008 - Due to technical difficulties this report is late. Here is an update for the last few days We returned from our 3-day Family trip, which was outstanding. With 15 kids on the boat we had an abundance of albacore. Great time and a great bunch of kids. We can’t wait for next year. Thanks everyone. As for the trip we are on now, Monday was a travel day, Tuesday we were able to get into the elusive bluefin, Yesterday (Wednesday) we had an epic day of yellowtail fishing, the anglers even managed white seabass which were in the 50 pound category AND they managed to pull in some 40# halibut. Today we plan to stay in this area and do the same type fishing. The weather is great and everyone onboard is having a great time. They type of fishing we are having at this time is one of the best reasons for doing a 5 day trip in the summer. Don Klaus a regular onboard had his limits yesterday of yellowtail, he caught a 50#WSB and a 40# halibut. Way to go Don!!!. Thanks for checking in. the Indy Boys |

The weather is perfect at the moment with no wind and very light seas to go with it. We are headed south to look at another area in hopes of good albacore fishing.

Pork tenderloin with all the fixing’s including Caesar salad and bananas foster for desert. Thanks For checking in, The Indy crew. |
06-06-2008 - Yesterday we explored an off beaten path, but didn’t find anything of interest. The weather was not to our liking, rather windy and rough. Today we did fair on yellowtail fishing in the morning, compared to the last couple days. Managed to even pull in a fair amount of red rock cod. Now headed off shore for some elusive tuna fishing. Weather has somewhat settled down a bit. For dinner tonight we are having steaks wtih Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes and key lime pie. Thanks for checking in. more reports to follow. |
06-04-2008 - We endured another day down here in paradise, as the winds calmed down, and we had another fantastic day of good grade yellowtail, and bull calico bass fishing. We had great action from daylight till 1500 hrs, and everyone had a great time pulling & yanking on something. The weather forecast for the offshore scene is still on the very windy side, so we are going to have to put that off for another few days. In the meantime we are going to formulate a different plan for tomorrow. Check in tomorrow to see if it worked out or not. Good night from the Indy crew |
06-03-2008 - Well here is a quick update from the last few days. We made a fatal attempt to fish offshore yesterday in 30 kts. of wind and needless to say we came up empty handed. We did see some tuna, but they kept on going in the sloppy seas. As for today we fished in the comfort of an island, but we were not wind free by any means, as we had 20 kts all day long. The good news is we had a good day on 20 to 35 lb. yellowtail. We are not going to get a break in this weather according to the weather reports we get, so we are going to make the best of a bad situation. Thanks for checking in on us, and wish us luck tomorrow, Jeff, Kyle and the Indy crew |
05-31-2008 - The Indy will arrive at Point Loma Sportfishing between 7:30am and 8am. Thanks for checking in. |
05-30-2008 - Well, here is the report for today aboard the independence. Today we truly enjoyed the day, and scenery, and the fishing of course. The weather at times was really breezy, and not so breezy depending on where you were. Today’s fishing was done way off the beaten path, and the quality of fish will certainly show, as these had not been hit for a while. As we head to San Diego, we may stop and wet a line for a couple of hours if the weather allows. Good night from the Indy crew |
05-29-2008 - Good evening everyone, today we had good fishing for yellowtail. Calico bass, and a couple of nice halibut. The weather was good at times and very, very windy depending on where you were fishing. Again the grade of fish today was just outstanding. We are not sure what we are going to do for tomorrow, but check backs tomorrow for a full rundown, good night from the Indy crew |
05-28-2008 - Hello again everyone, things were definitely on the windy side today, as we fished for yellowtail all day. That did not deter these fish from biting our offerings. All techniques were working today on these bruiser yellows. Not even the wind could beat us down, as everyone was busy at the rail winding & grinding. We are going to give this a whirl tomorrow; in hopes that we can see the type fishing we had today again tomorrow. Thanks for checking in on Jeff, Paul and the Indy crew. |
05-27-2008 - Here is a quick report for today. Today we had slow fishing compared to yesterday. The weather was up today, and the fish were down. We did manage a couple of albacore to 30 lbs., and a couple of yellowfin tuna about 22 lbs. each. We plan on going somewhere different for tomorrow’s activities. We hope the weather backs off a little bit for us. Check back for more updates, the Indy crew |
05-26-2008 - We would like to wish everyone a happy memorial day. As for today, we had a great day out here on the water. We had good fishing and good weather to boot. Our catch included 40 bluefin tuna and some albacore and yellowfin tuna, just what the doctor ordered. I am looking forward to the coming season, as I like what I see so far. We are going to give this day out here, in hopes of a repeat for tomorrow. Please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew. |
05-25-2008 - Hello again from the Independence. We returned on Saturday from a 7 day trip with Big Fish Tackle, Thanks to everyone. We departed Saturday on an 8 day, this one sponsored by Purfields Pro Tackle. After we wedged the boat with choice sardines, we headed south. The weather finally straightened out for us as well. Today we stopped the boat on some kelp for some good grade yellowtail. Currently the weather is still good, and we will be at our destination tomorrow morning. Thanks for checking in on us, Jeff, Paul Indy crew, Sean, frank, Ben, Ed & tom |
05-23-2008 - Phone in from the Indy, weather is not cooperating. Looks like its quite windy, which means the boat will arrive at Point Loma Sportfishing between 6am-6:30am. Those Anglers departing on tomorrows trip I will begin sign in at 7am. See you tomorrow. Judy |
05-22-2008 - Hello everyone, We are all doing well at here in the big blue pacific, here is a recap for the past few days of fishing, the weather to start the trip was very good so we looked offshore for tuna and albacore while the weather was good to no avail. The conditions were a bit on the cool side as we looked at some three hundred miles of water during the day light hours and lot more as we traveled Thursday the night. After the not so good report from Captain Jeff on his last 8 day to the rocks we chose to look at the ridge and found some good action on yellowtail to 48 lbs. after that we headed up the beach to finish off on the yellowtail and again we had good action on good grade fish to about 35 lbs. The offshore weather is poor at the moment so we are not going to look our on the way home but may try a few spots along the coast to stay out of the wind and seas. That’s it for now, we will report on the last day of fishing later on. Have a good day, the Indy boys. |
05-21-2008 - Call in from the boat this morning. Weather has been very inconsistent non cooperative, not easy to receive reports. Mark said they were into a school of Yellowtail and will try to send a report tonight. watch for updates after 7:30 tonight. |

Nice job. We departed on our Big Fish Tackle 7 day trip shortly after 11:30; the weather is very nice as we are headed south. We took on a good load of sardine with some mackerel mixed in. We will check back and let everyone know how things go on the fishing when we start out. Have a good evening, The Indy guys. |

05-13-2008 - Today we fished for a half a day at Alijos, before throwing in the towel. Things were on the slow side with just a hand full of nice grade yellows for our efforts. We are now headed to Cedros Island for some more yellowtail fishing. The weather is still on the breezy side out here. Check in tomorrow, and wish us luck, the Indy crew |
05-12-2008 - Hello everyone, here is a quick report for the last few days. Yesterday we arrived at Alijos around 1330, and looked around trying various spots for some smaller tuna, as well as some medium grade yellowtail. The last spot was to be our best, as we had a good hit on a nice grade yellows just before dark. Now then last night we had a no show on the yellows. We anchored in a Different spot for the morning, and were surprised to have decent action on medium grade, as well as 4 tuna from 40 to 70 lbs. The weather has been up a little bit, but I think it will subside soon. Katie’s dad would like to wish her a happy birthday. We are going to try this again tomorrow, please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew |

Have a nice weekend and check back here soon. Jeff, Paul and the Indy crew. |
01-06-2008 - Here is a re-cap of the trip that returned on Jan 5 with Accurate Reels, We’d like to thank Accurate Reels Sales Rep Scott MCFarland for taking care of the anglers with lots of give-a-ways and instructions on the use Accurate Reels. The rain came down so hard that morning our Anglers just wanted to load their gear back in their vehicles and take care of their fish so a lot of our big fish were not weighed in.

01-03-2008 - Hello again from us out here on the independence. We are traveling back to San Diego at the moment, and the weather is very good. As for fishing, we had just a fair day yesterday, as we saw sign of big fish, but they would not bite for us. We did have fish from 50 to 145 lbs. for our efforts. All things considered, we had a good trip, and everyone had a great time along with great weather the past few days. We will post an ETA. For Saturdays arrival tomorrow. Sea you all then.

01-01-2008 - Good evening, and happy New Year to everyone. We started the New Year off right at day light with some great action on smaller grade tuna, and then in the afternoon we had some good chances at big ones. I can say we did not make the most of our chances, as we had many tackle failures, and broken lines. This sort of thing happens only once & a while on this boat, as we are always well prepared, but today the fish won. We did manage 4 good ones, a 145, 155, 182, & a 231 lb. the weather is as flat as it gets out here. We plan on finishing off here tomorrow, so please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew |
