We left on our annual Christmas 5 Day Special

by Brian Pifer, 12-26-2023


After a few modifications for the Coast Guar, we are back out. We left on our annual Christmas 5 Day Special. Heading south in hopes we can locate this bluefin tuna and possibly have an opportunity on some December yellowfin tuna. Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Wish us luck


The yellowfin tuna are still around!

We're having a great start to our 5 day so far. Found a school of bluefin first thing this morning for 14 and had a good opportunity on yellowfin tuna before the sun went down. We will try for this yellowfin again tomorrow.

Fun fishing along the beach today. Plenty of action on yellowtail, barracuda, bonito, bass, and sheepshead fishing was good. We are heading up to finish our trip bluefin fishing.
