Things have been going very well for us here on the Independence the past few days , but today was one of those days one would not soon forget for quite a while. Very early in the day we got situated and it was steady steady action on these beautiful grade 100 to 150 lb. Yellowfin Tuna. With 3 - 8 going all day it was quite the day when the smoke cleared. We are now going to switch gears and look for sum Wahoo & such. Wish us luck , Jeff & crew

We spent the last few days along the beautiful Baja coast catching nice grade Yellowtail both days. Everyone got their fill of Yellowtail and are really fat and happy. All methods were working, surface pluggers had a blast as well as the yo yo iron and the bait guys killed em. Nice weather for the most part, and now we start heading up. We have had an amazing trip in the catching dept, just excellent fishing for us. We will post an ETA tomorrow, Jeff & crew

ROGERS' 15 DAY DEPARTS

by Jeff DeBuys, 11-25-2017


 

We from the Independence hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. The boat departed yesterday on Roger Eckhardt's 15 day adventure with another stellar group of anglers and a beautiful supply of Everingham Bros. sardines. Roger has been busy handing out lots of great fishing swag and everyone is a winner. With great weather on the horizon and some good prospects off our bow we hope to piece it together in a few days, thanks for checking in, Jeff & crew

 


GREAT FISHING

by John Collins, 11-30-2017


There are problems with the Satellite service that provides all the boats with WI-FI. The Independence will call in reports and  be published by the office until the situation gets resolved.
Just talked to Jeff and he reports the fishing for the last three days has been very good. They are averaging between 30-33 large Yellowfin per day. The grade of the fish are 150#-230#. At this time the boat has 8 cows resting comfortably in RSW. He also reports excellent weather and a bunch of happy campers on the boat. They will give it their best shot for the next few days and will send us a report when possible. Also would like to wish our other skipper Matt a very happy birthday.
