REAL DEAL WAHOO TODAY....

.Good evening from the Independence. Today we were on the prowl for Wahoo, and we had a pretty good day on the toothy speedsters. Everyone had lots of chances at these beauties , and when the sun dropped we had accumulated 70 fish 30 to 50 lbs. with a few bigger and a few smaller. The Capt Jimmy Bombs were hot today along with Tady and Salas jigs and a wired bait. Decent weather with a 15 kt breeze made it a perfect day. We are going to try this again tomorrow, sea ya then, Jeff and the Indy crew. Check the pics on F B

Action on Yellas

Due to some technical problems we were unable to post yesterdays report.In summary, Jeff stated another good day of Wahoo fishing during the day and a good bite on premium yellowtail during the night.
Hello again everyone, here is what we know. We arrived to our destination after lunch and saw sign of Yellowtail immediately , stopped the boat and they were biting. We made numerous drifts and scratched away for most of the afternoon. Late in the day it all evaporated and we called it quits. Most fish were 15 to 18 lbs . Biting the Salas yo yo jigs the best. Due to some technical problems we were unable to post yesterdays report. Yesterday, Jeff stated another good day of Wahoo fishing during the day and a good bite on premium yellowtail during the night. We are on our way up to finish the trip with some kelps tomorrow, wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

Hello again everybody , we found a few kelps today and everyone got to pull on some Dorado before calling it quits. We've had a good trip , measured by catching standards, with 106 nice sized Wahoo , and about the same on Yellowfin Tuna and Yellowtail. We are always appreciable when the fish gods are in our favor. We hope to see Gary Kimura next year, sorry we missed you this time, and other than that we will be in at 0615 tomorrow, sea ya then, Jeff

More action on Skinnies

Just checking in here from the Indy , again today we had decent action on beautiful grade wahoo. The hot ticket lately has been capt Jimmy's bombs, salas 6 x pink tar, and bait.

We are on the move to another location with high hopes and good weather looks to be in the future. Wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

We are going to try this again , wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

A Good Start

Today was more or less a travel day, and we had a few pop offs on the Wahoo going by the shallows. We made one last drift late in the day and came up with a lonesome Yellowfin Tuna which taped out at 180 lbs. caught by Keith McReynolds , I hope this just the start of good things to come, wish us luck tomorrow, Jeff

EPIC DAY ON THE INDY

Well , here is what we know. Today started out with a bang and ended with a bang. We were pretty much busy from sun up till sun down. Jumbo Yellowtail were biting full speed for most of the day, and the Yellowfin Tuna were eager to play as well. We tallied up 63 Tuna and 60 Yellows for the effort. The Tuna were in 2 categories , 40 to 60 lb. and 100 to 290 lb. fish, we ended up with 4 cows, a 290 , 220, 207, and one right at 200 lb. and a few hand fulls of 100 to 170's. We are going to sit tight and see if we can keep up the pace. Check out all of the pictures on facebook. Wish us luck, Jeff

ANOTHER DECENT DAY HERE

Good evening everyone, we managed to put together a day here as those trophy Yellows and good grade Tuna were around again. 30 Tuna and 50 Yellas was what went on here today. A couple of the Tuna were over 100 lbs. up to 125 lbs. but most were 30 to 60 lbs. we had same conditions as yesterday and I can say I never saw that big fish anytime today. We are going to hang tough and see what goes on here tomorrow, sea ya then Jeff

GOOD EVENING

Hello again from the Indy, today we saw less sign of bigguns and hooked only 1 biggun that freed him self. We did have a few rallies on those giant Yellas, and stock Yellowfin , so we managed to put a morning together. We are on the move to the outside for a few days, wish us luck out there, Jeff

WAHOO TODAY

We arrived to the grounds after lunch and had a few bingos on good grade skin this afternoon before things died down late. We are going to stay put and try for Yellas tonight and more skin tomorrow. There have been some big time tackle raffles every night, super big, and tonight is the grand finale. Wish us luck, Jeff

GOOD SKINNING TODAY

Today was good fishing for Wahoo even though the conditions were pretty poor. Everyone had at least a few chances at a fish or two, and some guys did well. 37 good grade Skin went into the RSW well along with a decent night hit on the Alijos Yellows last night. We called it quits after lunch, and started up the line for tomorrow's destination. Choppy weather right now so it's slow going. Sea ya later, Jeff
