Great start

We are off to a great start here on the Independence. We started fishing early this morning and have a great catch already. Photos are soon to follow. Check in with us a little later.

GOOD MORNING

Our day started out early getting set up hoping for the fish to arrive. We had a good show of better grade tuna today the largest going 196. As the morning progressed we ended up looking around for more fish and had a good show on the 80-100 pounders as well as few handfuls of Wahoo. We are all very happy with our catch so far and hope there is more to come. Matt and Indy crew.

KEEP PLUGING AWAY

Today started out well for us with a little morning hit. Unfortunately it didn't stick for long. We ended up trolling up a few Wahoo throughout the day. The wind was up a bit for us in the afternoon and we waited it out for a evening bite. We managed to scratch a few but never got the numbers we hoped for. Tomorrow is another day and we are very eager to get busy pulling on some big ones. We will let you know how it goes for us tomorrow. Wish us luck.

STILL GETTING THEM

We had good fishing today with a pretty steady pick. I'd say it's still going our way. The grade of fish is definitely getting better with a lot more 170- 200+ fish showing up and making themselves seen. The weather has been great and we are happy. Matt and Indy crew

HEADING HOME

We are on our way home and ended the trip with a full speed Wahoo bite. Everyone had a chance for one. What a great group of anglers to share this experience with. Thanks to Seaguar and Avet reels as well as Rick Ozaki with Raider jigs and Graftech rods. We have good weather for the ride up and plenty of stories to talk about.

Sav On Tackle

Hello again everyone, yesterday we departed on Sav On Tackle 17 day extravaganza with a stellar group of fishermen and a very nice load of sardine from E B bait co. We saw some sign of B F T but not the volume necessary to warrant a stop. Tons of awesome tackle rods reels hooks line hats shirts were well received by all before Ed's famous prime rib dinner was devoured by everyone. Really nice water conditions rolling down outside here, gonna be another ripper season. Steve and Charlie are our hosts from the store and have been quite generous with all the swag. We will report anything worth mentioning , wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

IMPROVEMENT

Things looked good here today as we managed to piece together a decent day on these beautiful , excellent grade yellowfin. We had a handful of 190 to 195 fish , and most were 150 to 225 lbs. great average. 20 fish for the day, with plenty of chances had by all. We are going to sit tight and hope for more of this action. Wish us luck, Jeff

Rolling rite along

Good Living

We are really enjoying the past few days out here , as the grade is really good and evenly spread out amongst everyone. There are chances at big ones every day and today we got 3 cows and 25 of the stock 125 to 235 lb. fish . We hope to keep things rolling rite along and we have plenty of time left to fill another well. Sea ya all later, Jeff

piecing it together

Hello again everyone, we had another excellent day out on the grounds fishing for these beauties. Pretty much an all day affair with some busy times here n there. Most everyone got to pull on one and the highlight of the day was John Garrard' 277 lb. monster that kept everyone at the rail trying for one. 29 of these beauties are now joining the rest of em in our RSW tanks. Also our friend Jerry Watkins landed a nice 203 lb.er to round out the day. We've got a little bit of room in our second well, and are going for a third , as we have lots of time left, sea ya later , Jeff

Things are good

Good evening everyone we are still experiencing good fishing down here, as we had 23 fish for the day. Most all of them are that excellent grade we have been catching 130 to 195 lbs. with a few bigger and a few smaller. Big fish today 214 for Dane Barriault and great weather to go along with all this great fishing. We have a few days left till we have to start for home, so wish us luck, Jeff
