GOOD ACTION ON SCHOOLIES....

Today we searched for Wahoo in the usual haunts only to find them vacant and lifeless. We did run across some smaller tuna 13 to 15 lb.ers that gave us a few thrills as they were more than willing to play. After our fill of these mini Ahi's we were on our way to our next destination. We had a little bit of rain and wind today, but nothing to discourage our efforts. Sea ya all later, Jeff and the Indy crew

MORE HOO'S IN THE HOT SUN...

Wow, again today we had good fishing for Wahoo up to 70 lbs., and big yellas to 35 lbs. And tuna to 45 lbs. it was one of those days which everyone had the best time ever, biting fish, hot sunny skies, fishing with a bunch of your best friends. I think we had 5 of these Wahoo that were 50 to 70 lbs. and the rest 40 + lbs. really good grade fish the past few days. Again the hot jigs were salas 6x jr pink n black, raider jig, and Capt Jimmy's wahoo bombs. We are going to relocate for tomorrow, so we will sea ya all then, Jeff and the Indy crew

ITS OFFICIAL, BOUND FOR SAN DIEGO...

ITS OFFICIAL, BOUND FOR SAN DIEGO... our last day to fish was yesterday, and we had some action on school grade tuna, and yellowtail to 18 lbs. . It was the perfect way to end our adventure on a good note. Again this year we went the distance and put together another good trip for the Tunaholics. With 66 beautiful grade Wahoo, limits of big bull Dorado, a couple dozen good grade tuna 35 to 65 lbs. and great yellowtail, and lots of school size yellow fin tuna. We have been fortunate again, and it is pure pleasure fishing with Dennis and Angie and the whole Tunaholic crew. The weather was great for the most part, and always plays a big part in any oceanic voyage. We are going to be back to San Diego tomorrow at approx. 0530, sea ya then, Jeff and the Indy crew

TUNAHOLICS RESULTS...

We arrived back to San Diego this morning and the jack pot winners were first place 67 lb. wahoo caught by Keith Kamimura, second place 62 lb. yellowfin tuna for Joey Nakagawa and third place went to Gary Ritchie with a 55 lb. yellowfin tuna. Great job guys! As well as the rest of the gang that made the trip this year. We were blessed with great company, fishing, and weather, and I would like to thank Dennis Evans for all the hard work putting it all together. The Tunaholics, many many thanks for another fun voyage, we will sea you all next year. We cleared the point at 1400 hrs with our good friends from Melton tackle with high hopes for the trip. Danny Mun is our host for the trip and he has many many great give-aways to raffle off as well as huge tackle bags full of goodies for all. Some of the sponsors include Seeker, Costa, Shimano, Okuma, and of course Melton Tackle. We will report all the hot action as soon as we can, thanks for checking in, Jeff and the Indy crew, matt, Tyler Oscar, Cole Alan, Ed and Michele

GOOD ACTION ON Y F T ...

We started the trip with some run n gun type action on yellowfin tuna up to 40 lbs today, it was stop and go style for the most part, but we tallied up 84 or so fish for our efforts. In the meantime there have been some great giveaways, seeker rods, makira 30 reel, shimano reel, and more fishing stuff for everyone. We are enjoying beautiful weather as well. We are on the move to tomorrow's hot spot, so please wish us luck, till then, Jeff and the Indy crew....

Heres what's going on

. we have covered a lot of water the past few days and i must say there is just a little bit of tuna sign here and there.we had action on 12 to 15 lb.ers, and decent action on 45 to 70 lb.ers with a couple of bigger models that freed them selves.

NOW THIS IS MORE LIKE IT! ....

Well I cant say I am surprised at what we saw today, as it was only a matter of time and being set up at the rite place. Today we had regulation lower banks fishing for yellowfin tuna to 100 lbs... By 0900 hrs we had put 56 of these beauties down in the R S W fish hold. Most being 50 to 70 lbs. it was hot n heavy from 0430 till 0900 hrs. Hot sticks today were Danny Mun who caught 5 fish including one around 105 lbs. and Jim Simondet who also tallied 5 fish for the morning... everyone had lots of chances at the big fish. Unfortunately at 0930 they left us there in disbelief and took off. We spent the rest of the day looking at the other deep water banks in search of more tuna. with a solid foundation of smaller and large tuna, some dorado n Wahoo already on board we are going to try some where different the next few days, so until then, wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

ANOTHER SPECTACULAR DAY...

Wow...Things are going well for us out here in the Indy. We had great Wahoo action on beautiful grade fish, 30 to 50 lb. and excellent fishing for trophy yellowtail, 30 to 50 lb. fish also. The final tally for the day was 38 Wahoo, and 70 big yellas, and a few tuna. We all had a great time today pulling and yanking on something. The weather was as good as it gets pure sunshine. I think we are going to camp here and see what goes on here tomorrow, thanks for checking in on us, Jeff and the Indy crew

MORE YELLAS AND WAHOO...

Today the conditions were a bit different than yesterday, and I think that is why the morning was so slow. The afternoon fishing conditions were better and we had good fishing for big yellowtail again, and a couple of hand full of Wahoo... we ended up with 45 yellas, and 8 skinnies and a couple of tuna. The hot Wahoo jigs were Capt. Jimmys purple and green, and salas 6x for the big yellows. Again the weather is really good for rite now. We are on our way up the line, and we are going to make a stop tomorrow to break up the ride. sea ya all then, Jeff and the Indy crew

NICE RIDE HOME...

We fished our way around the island for some yellowtail and bass under hot sunny skies, a beautiful fall day. After breaking down our tackle we had a fresh yellowtail dinner and started the ride up to San Diego. We have had a great trip, starting with Melton tackle as our sponsor, and everyone who made the trip. There were many personal bests, and firsts this trip, and everyone had a super great time, us the Indy crew included. We will be back to San Diego at approx. 0530 tomorrow, sea ya all then, Jeff and the Indy crew.....

GREAT ACTION TODAY...

Today we started fishing. Right after day light we were in the zone. The over all grade of tuna was 50 to 70 lbs. And at times they were biting well, and throw in a couple of hand full's of Wahoo and there you have it. 54 tuna and some skin for our efforts. With the practice round done with we are headed out to the big league for what ever is in store for us out there. The weather is pretty good as well. We are off to a good start, so wish us luck for tomorrow, Jeff and the Indy crew

Decent day on the bank

We arrived at the bank at 09:30 today and got to work right away.

WOW, WOW, WOW,

I can only describe today's fishing in those three words. Things were ON today, as the bank was as lively as ever. Fishing conditions were premium as well. Put all that together and the rest speaks for its self. As I am writing this at 1900 hrs they are still back there wailing on 'em. We tallied 122 tuna and 1 Wahoo for our efforts. 60 of those fish are 100 to 175 lbs. and the rest are 50 to 90 lbs... We did have a couple of chances at big ones, but it didn't work out. The weather is really good as well. Many people caught their daily limit of these beauties. We are hoping for more of this tomorrow, sea ya then, Jeff and the Indy crew

ALL SHOW, NO GO ...

Well we have seen this before, from banner to bust. Today started off pretty good, but the fish dropped the ball and just would not bite from 1130 till dark. We saw really good sign around, but no bite. One guy Jason Bunnel did catch his first cow a 208 lb. fish and took the rest of the day off. We tallied up 22 tuna and a few Wahoo for the effort today. With all the fish sign we see here we are going to sit tight and give it another try tomorrow in hopes we get better conditions for biting fish. Wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

SCRATCHING AWAY...

Again today tuna fishing was a scratch at best. The better biting fish were to be had early in the morning. A few standouts were caught by Rick Berg and Fritz Jacobsen 200 and 165 lbs. The afternoon again was slow, the fish being around and not interested in biting what we had on our hooks. 21 tuna and 10 Wahoo for the day. The weather is still awesome down here. We have just a few hours to fish tomorrow, so please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

ONE LAST HIT....

On our last morning of fishing we were fortunate enough to get some tuna to cooperate with us just before calling it a trip. I think everyone had one on at some point and the end result was 23 tuna 50 to 100 lbs. And a hand full of Wahoo... we are headed up the line rite now with decent weather. It was a good way to end the trip. We will report back in a day or so, sea ya then, Jeff and the Indy crew

NO COMPLAINTS HERE...

The ride home has been a 10 +, very good ride. I feel fortunate in the catching dept. as well, as there is no such thing as a sure thing out here. Arriving to the tuna grounds on the full moon can be Russian roulette, either good or bad, and in our case it was good. There were quite a few personal bests, and the crew and everyone had a really great time fishing together. We will be back to San Diego at approx. 0530 tomorrow, sea ya all then, Jeff and the Indy crew

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Hello everyone from the independence. We hope you all had a great thanksgiving. We arrived early wed. Morning to unload our beautiful catch from the 13 day tuna special. Lots of thanks to everyone who made the trip this year, and to everyone, great job yanking and pulling on them. Our jackpots were: 1st place Aaron Fraser 227.4 Yellowfin Tuna, 2nd place Rick McGlone 210.4, and 3rd place was Jason Bunnell with a 204.7..Congrats guys... thanks again, and sea you all next year. We departed on another big tuna special yesterday in the early morning hours. This trip is rick Ozaki, Westcoast marketing, Avet reels open. . I went downstairs for dinner and there were 6 very, very happy anglers who won new Avet reels, and I think things are just getting started as there are mountains of tackle to be given away in the next few days. With a good supply of bait for the trip we are off and running with high hopes for the trip. Stay tuned, and we will report and have some photos on face book in a couple of days, sea ya then, Jeff and the Indy crew, Matt, Kevin, Oscar Tyler, Cole, end and Rolf
