We are rolling right along down here with a few shots at some real big ones and some wahoo mixed in. We have been able to scratch the last few days and we are more than happy with the results. The wahoo fishing has kept us busy throughout the day we are hoping for some more of the same tomorrow. Wish us luck. Matt and Independence crew

trip 1929 Report today

WE are piecing it together down here with some grande grade fish. We have had 11 cows the past few days and im sure there are more around. Heavy gear and big baits is the name of the game. We have had a few heartbreaks but everyone is in great spirits with a chance at a fish of a lifetime. The weather remains beautiful if hot and balmy is your cup of tea. We are staying put trying for trophies and will check back soon. Wish us all luck. Matt and Independence crew

HEADING HOME

We finished up down below here and we are making the long journey back home. The guys are all sharing fish stories and we have begun breaking our gear down. The last few days were a little bit slower in regards to the 200+ pound fish. We still saw a few around and had a couple shots but didn’t get the feeling a bunch were around. Nevertheless we had a fantastic trip down here and have a great catch to bring home. And so the long trek is underway and all onboard are probably a bit sore , tired and excited to do it again. I know I am!

GOOD TIMES

Aftco 5 day after Christmas trip is in full swing. We started out the trip with some awesome give-aways including shirts hats , fluorocarbon as well as a buch of other great stuff all handed out by our charter master Christie from Aftco. The bite has been slow thus far with fish to look at and tough to catch. We spent one day chasing Yellowfin around and had a decent reaction but very hard to get a fish to chase a bait with a hook in it. Yesterday we had some fun times Yellowtailin in perfect weather and enjoyable scenery. We have a very nice group of anglers onboard from all over the country and have managed a few personal bests. We have one last day of fishing and we are hoping to end with a bang.

DECENT BLUEFIN FISHING & ETA
