Great Start

The boat called in with this report. We arrived at Hurricane Bank around noon Wednesday and it didn't take long to get situated. Good sign of fish around. We managed to pick up 30 Tuna for the afternoon 100#-140# with a few standouts. We are anxious to see what tomorrow brings. Will have a more detailed report tomorrow evening.

ANOTHER GREAT DAY

by Indy Crew, 1-12-2017


Things got going early today and then slowed mid day and then steady all afternoon till dark. Beautiful grade bank fish , 100 to 228 lbs. today. We are going to try it again tomorrow , great weather, 37 Tuna and a hand full of Wahoo. Everyone is doing just fine

ROLLING RITE ALONG

by Indy Crew, 1-13-2017


You won't hear any complaints from us out here, as things are rolling rite along. We had another great day on that excellent bank grade Yellowfin Tuna. Pretty much like yesterday's fishing except today we had a regulation sundown ripper that included Steve Penley's cow. We are going to keep working at it for tomorrow's plan, 37 Tuna and a few Wahoo for the effort today. Sea ya later

PLUGGING AWAY

by Indy Crew, 1-14-2017


Today started early again and ended with another great sun downer bite. The middle of the day was slower with a fish here and there until late in the day. No cows today but plenty of that beautiful grade 90 to 160 lb. fish available to all. The Wahoo pulled a no show, but maybe tomorrow. Wish us luck please

DOWN DAY

by Indy Crew, 1-15-2017


The weather is up and the fish are down, so goes life out here on the high seas. Today just didn't materialize like the past 4 days. We got a sample of those 150 lb.ers but it was just a down day. We are going to keep working at it though, in hopes the weather and fish cooperate tomorrow. Sea ya then

GOOD GRADE TODAY

by Indy Crew, 1-16-2017


Good evening from the Indy , we had another good day today on 100 to 175 lb.Tuna and with one more day left to fish we are in pretty good shape. The weather is still up but forecast to come down a bit. A few Wahoo made it on the boat today as well. Sea ya later

GREAT ENDING

by Indy Crew, 1-17-2017


Today we had an all day pick on these beautiful grade bank Tuna. We picked up another cow and the rest were 100 to 175 lbs for the most part. The weather is still up, but not too noticeable when you are catching fish. We are stoked with the results fish wise, as it was no easy task , but we put it together with a great catch. We are headed up in choppy weather.

WEATHER

by Indy Crew, 1-20-2017


Good afternoon everyone, we've had a decent ride up so far and everyone is now well rested and looking forward to our arrival to offload their beautiful catch. Due to the weather due to arrive in San Diego and north Baja we are going to take cover at the big island and let the weather pass on by, and then we will have a good weather window to continue up the line. Everyone is doing just fine and our arrival will be pushed back 1 day to Monday morning.
