OFF TO A GREAT START...

The Indy arrived from the seeker 8 day, and turned around on the Gary Kimura / Indy 8 day challenge. With a good load of sardines and some eager fishermen we started the day off with some excellent bluefin tuna fishing. The bite lasted all day, and was hot and heavy at times. The volume of fish is really something, as we approach October. Daily limits were easily had by all. The bulk of the fish is 18 to 25 lbs. with a good showing of 40 to 60 lbers. A great time was had by all today on board the Indy. we are going to work in a different direction for tomorrow, please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew, Matt, Tyler, Oscar, Cole, john, Ed and Rolf

MOVING RITE ALONG...

yesterday we checked the lower offshore zone for a few hand full's of 35 lb. yellowfin, and some good grade dorado. We covered lots of water in the process. That area will produce again I am sure of it, just a matter of time. At present we are in yellowtail mode, and have 75- 20 to 30 lb. fish aboard after tanking up on mackerel last night. Beautiful does not even describe our weather; I see another bird school, so I gotta go, sea ya all later, Jeff and the Indy crew

ACTION PACKED DAY....

Today we had a really fun day out here on the high seas. Excellent fishing for Dorado in the 15 to 25 lb. range, 18 Wahoo up to 50 lbs., and 15 nice grouper up to 45 lbs. and a few tuna. Flat calm weather was the call of the day, and everyone really enjoyed the all day action. We are going to camp out and try this again for tomorrow, please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

WAY TOO MUCH FUN....

Today was much like yesterday as we targeted big wahoo and large to xtra large grouper. We had 22 Wahoo and 11 grouper, 2 between 80 and 100 lbs., and a few Dorado and yellows and tuna. We had chances at everything, and made a day of it... the weather is spectacular down here as it is typical fall weather. We are going to try for some more yellowtail tomorrow in hopes of more of that great action we had the other day. Thanks for checking in on us, Jeff and the Indy crew

SOME ICING ON THE CAKE...

Today we had outstanding yellowtail fishing for fish 18 to 28 lbs... Throw in a couple of halibut to 30 lbs. and call it a great day. The salas 6x jr, and the 7x were really popular today for the jig guys, and plenty were caught on sardines and mackerel. Limit style fishing for all to enjoy. The weather is classic October, very little wind and mucho sunshine, yankin and crankin Indy style. we have had a really great trip so far, and we plan on fishing for a few hours tomorrow on the way up, so we will report again tomorrow, sea yaw all then Jeff and the Indy crew

IT'S A WRAP.... ETA 5:45am Monday

We are currently headed up the line to San Diego. We are very fortunate in the weather and catching dept, as we all know there is no sure thing out here. One stand out angler we had out on the boat again is Joe Talasy; he is 97, yes 97 years old. Joe is a real inspiration to all of us, as he still fishes from sun up to sun down every day. He has not changed in the 23 years I have known him. Much thanks to Gary Kimura for another excellent trip this year. We will be arriving at 0545 tomorrow, sea ya then, Jeff and the Indy crew

GRRREAT WAY TO START...

Yesterday we returned from our Kimura 8 day, and we would like to thank everyone who attended this year, what an excellent trip we had, see you all next year.JP winners for this trip were: 1st place: Peter Koga 105.8 Grouper, 2nd place goes to James Day 76.8 grouper, 3rd place Ron Nishimura 48.6 Bluefin This group also managed to bring home some wahoo, yellowtail and more groupers.. We are currently out on our Turners Outdoors / Izorline 8-day extravaganza. We had an absolutely stellar day on these 40 to 60 lb. bluefin tuna to get things going. With 110 of these beauties in the RSW hatch we are very pleased. We are headed down at the moment for tomorrow's activities, and will be reporting on what we see and catch. Thanks for checking in on us, Jeff and the Indy crew, Matt, Tyler, Oscar, Kevin, Cole, Ed and Michele

ANOTHER VERY VERY BUSY DAY...

Wow things are going well for us here on the Indy. First of all we have beautiful weather, and secondly we had very good fishing for 25 to 40 lb. yellowfin tuna. Limit style fishing pretty much sums it up for the most part. All I can add is that everyone had a super great time going from spot to spot wailing on them. We are going to keep sliding down and try somewhere different for tomorrow, so please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

YET ANOTHER STELLER DAY...

Wow, what a day we had today fishing for beautiful grade yellowtail. Things got off to an early start as the place was alive with fish showing everywhere you looked. The guys with 6x jr, and 7x salas jigs absolutely clobbered these 18 to 30 lb. fish until dark. The sardine and macks did very well also for the bait guys. The volume of fish we saw at times was impressive to say the least. This all went down under hot sunny skies. We plan on making a move tonight for tomorrow's fishing activity. Thanks for the jigs matt, killed em today. Thanks for checking in on us, Jeff and the Indy crew

LETS GET CAUGHT UP....

We have been working down below the past few days looking for Wahoo and Dorado. The Dorado really worked out, as we scored big time on 12 to 20 lb. fish. The Wahoo were a little bit harder to locate and catch, although we did have some chances that we cashed in on fish up to 50 lbs. throw in some more tuna and there you have it, we are up to current activities. Today we are mostly travelling up, and we will make a stop or two to wet a line. We have had excellent weather this whole time. Everyone is pretty much in relax mode, but I think they have the energy for one more hit on some thing. Cold beer and football, and lots of sunshine will be the call today, thanks for checking in on us, Jeff and the Indy crew

BIG BASS N BIG BUTTS...

Today we spent exploring for big bull bass and big halibut. We were successful in both categories, as we had a great day again in the sun. All the big calicos were released, and all the butts up to 30 lbs. were not. Some watched football, and some fished, and most did both. This was a great Sunday for everyone to enjoy, oh I forgot we caught a few 35 lb. yellowtail also. We will report again tomorrow, sea ya then, Jeff and the Indy crew

The weather was as good as it gets, flat and I mean flat seas and warm comfortable weather. We are planning to try for some yellowtail tomorrow and then head south in search of.

Todays Report 10/17

Today we had a good day of yellowtail fishing; most of the yellows were in the 17 to 25 pound class. Our weather has been excellent as well. Hot ticket was the yoyo iron in pink. Tomorrow the plan to work south and look for Wahoo and Dorado. Wish us well, the Indy gang.

10/18 & 10/19

We have spent the last two days offshore kelping for very little action, we saw more kelps in the lower zone then any trip in past years, fishing was very tough even with all the kelp we found. For the two days we caught just a few fish, tomorrow we will in another zone hoping to improve the fishing. Thanks for checking in, the Indy guys.

Paradise Waters

Today we spent the day ridge running, we caught good numbers of yellowfin tuna that were school size 8 to 15 pounds which we tagged a few and released most. We also caught a handful (5) nice wahoo to 50 pounds and a few yellows 15 to 18 pounds. Really no sign of better tuna yet down here, the water outside of Mag bay is 79 to 81 degrees and not much sign of tuna that way either. We plan to work north tonight and give the wahoo one more shot. The weather has postcard perfect everyday so far, and we are hoping it stays that way. Have a good day from paradise

Near The Ridge

Today we gave the ridge one more try to give up some Wahoo, the conditions were near perfect, blue 74 degree water with a nice downhill current. The Wahoo were around but not in the numbers we had hoped for. We landed 8 Wahoo up to fifty pounds and tagged some school size yellowfin and yellowtail. Tonight we will work up and try for that better grade yellowtail we started out on. Thanks for checking in.

Heading North..ETA 10/25 6am

We have been working our way north the last two days, we have had some wind to deal with but overall still good weather, the yellowtail fishing has been decent with some fish up to 30 pounds, the surface iron has been the hot ticket along with the dropper loop rigs, best being the jigs. We our putting ourselves in position to fish bluefin tuna the last day, so wish good fortune on the BF grounds. The Indy guys.

The Indy will arrive at Point Loma Sportfishing Landing at 6am. Anglers going out on this trip, don't forget your passports...Thank You...Judy

Strong finish

Hello from the Independence, we ended the trip on a strong note, we got up to an area that had good sign of bluefin tuna at 2 in the morning, we shut down in beautiful flat clam weather and waited for the sun to rise, and when it so did the bluefin tuna. We ended up with our limits of bluefin on the last day of the trip. It was a great way to cap things off. We will be in at 06:00 hours, thanks for checking in.

ON THE MOVE...

We have been in travel/fish mode the past few days. We stopped and fished for good grade yellowtail yesterday, everyone got to yank on a few before heading south bound. our very generous chartermaster Dennis Evans has been giving away fishing tackle steadily since we left the dock, highlighted by a Makira 30 last night won by Scot McReynolds , and there is still tons more still to come. The weather is spectacular, classic fall, hot n sunny, flat calm. . We are going to try for Wahoo and what ever else wants to play today. More fun in the sun.... sea ya later Jeff and the Indy crew

SEARCHING HIGH N LOW ...

We have been on the move for most of the time, as all the sure thing fishing spots have dried up. We have covered lots of water in the mean time. We had good Dorado fishing for a short time, and some chances at Wahoo that worked out for a few guys. The weather is great, and we are still having a great time, but the catching part needs to improve. Thanks for checking in, the Indy crew

BIG BULLLL DORADO....

Today we had a mixed bag as far as what we put in the R S W well. Spectacular fishing for big bull Dorado, 7 Wahoo, and half a dozen tuna 45 to 60 lbs. We all enjoyed all this fishing while basking in the hot sun and flat calm seas. The big time raffles are still going on every nite here aboard the Indy as well. Good night from the Indy, sea ya all later, Jeff and the Indy crew

HOT ACTION...

Today we again covered lots of water in search of game fish. Half way through the day we got on a spot of smaller grade 15 lbers that really wanted to bite for us. We got our fill and went on our merry way. The rest of the day was uneventful. The weather had a slight change as we had rain for most of the morning, and then a bit of breeze. Thanks for checking in, Jeff and the Indy crew

HALLOWEEN HOO BITE...

We had a good day again today here on the Indy, as the Wahoo showed interest in our offerings, and the big home guard yellowtail kept us busy in the afternoon .we ended up with 29 good grade Hoo up to 55 lbs. and 55 big Yellas to 45 lbs. a couple of 40 lb. tuna. And there you have it...everyone had a great time today, including the crew, just good fishing, good weather. The hot Wahoo jigs were Salas 6x jr pink and charcoal, raider jig, Capt jimmy bomb in the purple. Quite a few of the extra large Yellas were on the Salas 6x blue n white. We are going to camp out and see what it looks like in the morning, please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew
