UC Rod 16 Day

by Indy Crew, 1-06-2025


Our United Composite Rod 16-Day adventure kicked off this morning with a fantastic start! We departed with a good load of bait and were blessed with beautiful weather. Once settled in, Johnny from UC treated us to some awesome giveaways and a raffle for incredible big-fish rods that we'll be using throughout the trip. The excitement continued as Soda Pop brought out his famous wheel of fortune, giving the crew a chance to win amazing prizes. To top it all off, we're all looking forward to a delicious prime rib dinner prepared by Chef Ed.

UC Rod 16 Day

by Brian Pifer, 1-07-2025


Our journey south continues, and today was a productive day of preparation. After breakfast, Capt. Brian held an informative tackle seminar, covering the techniques and setups for targeting those massive yellowfin tuna and wahoo. We're still a few days from our fishing grounds, but the guys are slowly but surely getting their gear rigged and ready for the adventure ahead!

UC Rod 16 Day

Another day of preparation! Today, we focused on fine-tuning our kite gear and making new leaders. The crew has been busy wrapping new gaffs and ensuring we're ready for anything. Between rigging and relaxing, the guys have been enjoying movies and a friendly game of poker. Just one more day of travel before we put a line in the water!

After four days of intense preparation, we're bursting with excitement to finally start fishing tomorrow morning! We've heard reports of other boats catching wahoo and yellowfin tuna, and we're eager to get a piece of that action!

The morning started slow with a few nice tuna, but once Chef Ed announced lunch, it was like the fish heard the call! The bite exploded, and the afternoon fishing was a blast for everyone. Let's do it again tomorrow!
