Great Action

All is well here on the Indy as we were out of satellite range for a few days , so here is what we know so far. We have had excellent wahoo action as well as some shots at good grade tuna and everyone is having a great time. The weather is as good as it gets so we have a few more days to fish and will report then, Jeff and the Indy crew

ETA

Well all good things must come to an end , as we have had a really nice trip that started out in the Wahoo zone for a nice hit and then down to the big fish zone that produced 3 days of great Wahoo and a sample of that big fish style of fishing. From there it was up to Alijos for a couple of days of trophy Yellowtail and excellent Wahoo action along with some nice Yellowfin thrown in. We finished up on the beach for a action packed day of Yellowtail fishing. Very nice weather by the way. We will be back at 0530 Saturday. Jeff & Indy crew

For those of you going on Saturdays 10 day trip Judy will start sign-in at 6:00. Be sure to bring your passport with you when coming up to sign-in.

AFTCO SPONSORSHIP

We departed yesterday on the AFTCO 10 day with the infamous John Collins as our chartermaster. He had lots of great giveaways for all after we loaded our bait and got underway. Traveling down we ran into an area of bluefin that were 100+ pounds. A few bites and never landed one but quite the show. Definitely a great prospect for down the road. We are still sliding down for now and hope to have a good report for tomorrow. Matt and Independence crew.

ANOTHER EXCELLENT DAY

Another fun day on wahoo and good grade tuna to 40#s. We spent the better part of the day drifting up both wahoo and tuna and the sign of tuna is very encouraging. The grade being 25-35 pounds with a few bigger and a few smaller. We are headed to the next area looking for more of the same. Weather has come down beautifully from a little breeze yesterday. Wish us luck. Matt and Indy crew.

Fun day today fishing for wahoo. Just about everyone got a chance at a fish. We spent the day trolling em up and ended up with a great catch. There was a little sign of 20-35 pound tuna to throw in the mix with a standout 45 pounder. We’re are hoping for some more fish to pull on in the morning

Note from the sponsor.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire crew for another great AFTCO trip. Captain Matt went far and above searching every possible area to ensure we weren't passing up any opportunity to put fish on the boat. Our final stop of the trip, while on the way home, proved to be the icing on the cake landing several of those beautiful Bluefin. I would also like to thank Christie Shedd for providing a nice assortment of AFTCO products for our raffle. Our raffle was a buy in ,and the proceeds were donated to " Friends of Rollo" Thanks to the generosity of all who participated we raised $2500.00 for "Friends of Rollo". Thanks again for a great trip and hope to see you all again real soon....John Collins

IN THE AREA

We departed yesterday on the after Christmas 5 day with a great load of bait and pointed it South. We arrived this morning in the Bluefin zone to a little chop and breeze but eventually located the blue devils late in the day. We didn’t get the response we had hoped for but enough to keep us licking our chops. We are gonna give it another go in the am. Weather is coming down nicely and we are hoping for a little cooperation. Wish us luck. Matt and Independence crew

TOUGH DAY

We woke up to a lot better weather today but the Bluefin pulled a no show... We managed to troll up a few school grade Yellowfin for our day putting in a bunch of effort. We are going to head towards the beach for tomorrow looking for Yellowtail etc. We are hoping for lots of action for our eager bunch of anglers. Matt & the Indy crew

FUN DAY

Fun day today Yellowtailin. We made a good catch today on some nice Yellows. The guys were hard at work on the yo yo jigs and dropper loops. We also made a few drifts for some beautiful rockfish. The weather was a bit chilly but it didn’t keep the guys off the rail. We are moving up looking for more of the same tomorrow
