Everyone had a chance at these speedsters and it was great to see all the first time Wahoo guys get some. We are going to keep trying for Wahoo tomorrow and see if we can keep the ball rolling, so wish us luck, Jeff , oh yeah the weather is outstanding
MORE SKIN TODAY

We enjoyed another action packed day on board the Indy today as the Wahoo put on a great show right after daylight and steady action till about 1300 hours. Again today, the Capt Jimmy Bombs ruled the deck along with Salas 6x Jr. Tar Baby and a few on Sardines. There were ample opportunity's for all and when it was all said and done 37 more Skinnies now rest in the RSW with the rest of them. We also tagged some Alijos grade Yellowtail as well. We are now gaining altitude getting in position for the grand finale. The weather is outstanding, sea ya later, Jeff & the Indy crew
