SEEKER 15 DAY ULTRA LIMITED LOAD

Seeker Limited 15 day....
We have enjoyed a couple of really outstanding travel days out here, grease calm conditions, a well meshed super friendly group on board, and some great football yesterday. Everingham bros. provided a good load of bait , and we've been rigging up full speed under warm sunny skies. With a couple more travel days to go we have yet more rigging and final touches before the process begins. We welcome our charter master Eric Maulhardt, mr. Seeker himself aboard, and there were many lucky recipients that now have another new seeker rod to add to their arsenal. We will report any and all when we have something to share, so until then , tight lines, Jeff and the Indy crew

THIS IS ONE HAPPY CROWD

Several of the guys showing off what they won in the raffle.

A SAD DAY REMEMBERED

One of our stellar crewmen , Romolino Ghio very recently lost the love of his life Jenny Jimenez. It was a sudden tragic loss, and there is no simple reason or justification for it . Sadness for Romolino and Jenny's family is forever going to be felt. The entire Independence organization and all the people that know Romo, and Jenny wish their condolences to them. Please say a prayer or two for them, and God bless them, Jeff, Mark, Paul and the Indy crew....When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Judy

MEDIOCRE START

Today we started off scratching Wahoo, and then a slow pick on tuna. Good weather is abound and we are just getting going so wish us luck for tomorrow please. Sea ya then Jeff

IMPROVEMENT

Today was a little bit better catching for us as conditions were better for the most part. There were Wahoo around biting, and some tuna up to 160 lbs. we are going to keep trying, so wish us luck, the weather is outstanding as well , sea ya later, Jeff

THIS IS MORE LIKE IT

The fishing today was regulation biting fish , good fishing conditions. Most fish today were of the 140 to 180 lb. grade with a few bigger and a few smaller. One 215 lb. fish made its way on the boat and 2 other bigguns escaped. Everyone got to yank on a fish or two today, so we are going to sit tight and try again tomorrow. lots of photos today but they wouldn't send. Great weather, sea ya tomorrow, Jeff

VALENTINES DAY MASSACRE

We hope everyone had as good a day as we did out here. Gooood fishing again for 130 to 215 lb tuna , a good average, 150 lbs. I would guess. A good morning hit and a good afternoon hit for us. A few nice Wahoo were around as well. The topper was a 150 lb. kamikaze fish caught by Lynn True in the dark tonight . Everyone is doing great, and the weather is as good as one could imagine. We are going to keep at it, sea yal later, Jeff

Great Quality

We had another great day today, fishing for that beautiful grade tuna. Most fish were again 130 to 190 lbs. with an additional 3 cows today. Lynn True got a 225 , Bob Cross 245 , and Ivan Fujinaka got a 257 lb. beast. Things look to be on the up swing and we hope to keep the ball rolling for the next 2 days before calling it quits. Wish us luck , Jeff

RITE ON TARGET

Things are going well for us as we had another good day catching these beauties down here. Today was an all day affair, with the early and late times being the best. We've been doing the 30 fish a day average thing for the past 4 days and today was rite on target. Again , most everything is over 100 lbs. with most being 130 to 170 today. We had 2 bigguns get away , so all we have left is a morning shot tomorrow, wish us luck, Jeff

FAREWELL BITE

We are on our way up the line now, but not after a early morning hit that produced a couple of hand fulls of these beauties down here. Big fish honors went to Eric Maulhardt with his 207 and the rest were the stock 130 to 185 lb. fish. With a couple of brimming wells of gorgeous RSW tuna and Wahoo we start the trek north fat and happy. A great time was had by all. As for the weather it too is as good as it gets. Sea ya later , Jeff and the Indy crew
