We left on our annual Christmas 5 Day Special
by Brian Pifer, 12-26-2023
After a few modifications for the Coast Guar, we are back out. We left on our annual Christmas 5 Day Special. Heading south in hopes we can locate this bluefin tuna and possibly have an opportunity on some December yellowfin tuna. Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Wish us luck
The yellowfin tuna are still around!

We're having a great start to our 5 day so far. Found a school of bluefin first thing this morning for 14 and had a good opportunity on yellowfin tuna before the sun went down. We will try for this yellowfin again tomorrow.
