STAN VANDERBURG 14 DAY
Well, a happy new year to everyone and good fishing to all. Today we departed on our annual Stan Vanderburg big fish adventure with a nice load of bait and lots of our friends aboard. With flat calm weather on the horizon and a few prospects off our bow we hope to put something together down there. Check back in a few days and we hope to have a report every few days with our hand held phone. Sea ya then, Jeff & crew
ALMOST THERE
We have been rigging up and enjoying the fabulous weather the past few days along with sum really great fishing swag from Stan and his awesome sponsors. I'll compose a list of these great company's at the end of the trip. Meanwhile we will start the fishing process on Sunday morning. All is well here on the Indy. Please wish us luck, Jeff & crew
FISHING UPDATE
Well we finally got some internet service going and here is how it all went down this trip. We covered lots and lots of water only to find a little bit of fish everywhere we went. The fishing part went like this, lots of waiting around to get a bite and lots of non biting fish made it a real challenge for everyone out here this past week. It seems like there were more fish sign and biters before the super moon arrived and then things slooooowed way down. We were able to scratch out a trip but it was not easy by means. We still had a great time with Stans group and we had excellent weather. We did have one day where things definitely went our way, other than that 8 to 15 fish a day and some Wahoo. We have a great ride up the line and will be in on Wednesday, we'll post an ETA on Tues, Jeff & crew

ALMOST THERE
Well we've been traveling and rigging the past few days and we are ready for arrival tomorrow to do battle with the Giants. Our host Brian Porter has been doling out some great fishing swag for the guys to use down here. With communications spotty down here we will call in when we can with the latest info, wish us luck, Jeff & crew
HURRICAINE BANK
Just received a report from the boat. Fishing info has to be relayed due to no WIFI service at this time.
Jeff reported good scratch fishing on nice grade Tuna 130#-190# with a few chances at cows each day. There's also a decent .sign of 100# fish around. They are getting 13-20 fish each day.along with some Wahoo. He stated fishing conditions are good and has high hopes over the next few days. Jeff will call in another report in a couple of days. Everyone on board is doing good and optimism is running high.
TOUGH CONDITIONS
Tough Conditions
Just got a call from Jeff and he said conditions have changed. It's been pretty breezy the last couple of days. They are managing some very good grade fish each day for those willing to put their time at the rail. One more day of fishing before they start heading for home. Once they get within WIFI range he will have some pictures. We wish them luck on their last day.
