Getting it Done

Good evening from the Independence. We covered lots of water yesterday with some success on 15 lb . Yellowtail , and then today it was game on for 18 to 30 lb. Yellas. Limit style fishing was on tap , and every method , jigs bait you name it worked well. Lots of yanking and cranking in the hot sun, and a few small Yellowfin Tuna in the afternoon made for a memorable day. We are off to another area for tomorrow to try for Tuna, so please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

THIS IS GOOD LIVING...

Today was one of those days every so often when you lick your chops as you slide into spot after spot of fish. On tap for today was beautiful grade yellowfin tuna, 25 to 55 lb. fish biting well at times, everyone's got one on type stuff. When the dust settled we had daily limits for our 31 passengers, just a really good day all around. The weather is good for the most part, a bit breezy in the afternoon. Everyone will rest easy tonite, after Michele's swordfish dinner. We are going to try this again tomorrow, please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

ANOTHER GREAT DAY !!!

Hello again from the Independence. We were fortunate again to have good weather and excellent fishing for yellowfin tuna. Most fish were of the 18 to 30 lb. class, and we again obtained our daily limits on these beauties. We saw a few of the bigguns like we caught yesterday, but no go on them. We are currently gaining altitude and have a pretty decent ride, so wish us luck on tomorrow's hot spot. Sea ya then Jeff and the Indy crew

Nice Finish

Hello again from the Indy. Here is what we know, we made a stop for Calico's yesterday that turned into a full on bass attack, as they were really chewing, big fat bass. We tried a few Halibut drifts , and called it a day. Today we made some more drifts, and had good action on butts up to 25 lbs. We called it a trip and are on our way up the line. Our E T A looks to be around 0530 tomorrow. This has been a very fun filled trip, excellent fishing and a great group to spend time with catching fish. The hot lures this trip were Salas 7 x and the 6 x heavy yo yo for the jiggers. Thanks for checking in, Jeff and the Indy crew

Beautiful Catch

We arrived early Sunday to unload our beautiful catch .. Jack pot winners are 1st place Dick Shaffer with a 68 lb. Yellowfin tuna, 2nd place Cash McCormick with a 67 lb.Yellowfin, and David Thomas with a monster 100 lb. plus Grouper Honorable mention goes to Jim Mitchel with a beautiful 50# White Sea Bass. A huge thanks to everyone and Dick Shaffer who made the trip this year a HUGE success, sea you all next year. Jeff and the Indy crew

Back out

Hello everyone, we back out and heading down to where the good fishing took place on our last trip. We did have to keep an eye on hurricane Blanca the last couple of days as she steam rolled northwest along the Baja coast before going ashore just above Mag. Bay. We did get some nice rain showers on the way but the ocean has remained calm and our ride has been beautiful. Today we will start fishing and see if the fish are still in the mood. Check back tomorrow for a full run down, take care and wish us luck. The Indy crew.

Great Catch Heading Home

Hello again from the Indy, we have had very good fishing the last few days on both Yellowtail and Yellowfin Tuna. The Yellowtail being 15 to 30 pounds and most of the tuna in the 15 to 25 pound range. The Weather has been nice as well with the exception of one night were it got windy and rough. We are headed home with a nice catch and a happy group of folks. The conditions look more like fall then spring down here with a couple of Wahoo and Dorado caught also. If you want to get out with us this summer we have very few openings left, call Judy now to snatch one of only six opening we have from now until December. Mark and the Indy crew.

Really good fishing today for tuna and yellowtail. Everything was 15 to 30 lbs, and on the chew. We are going to try this again tomorrow , good living. Sea ya then, Jeff and the Indy crew

Time to move on......

Again today fishing was off the hook good , for yellowfin tuna and yellowtail. Beautiful grade 18 to 30 lb. fish , both biting simultaneously , simply doesn't get any better. Having some time to go and look at somewhere no one has been for a while, we are going looking, we are either going to be a hero or a zero. Great weather will certainly help the effort. Please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

Somthing for the effort..

We looked at some different water today and hoped to run into those beauties from a few weeks ago, but no sign of them. On the other hand, we had good action on 18 to 28 lb. tuna, and made a day of it. Good weather for the most part, and we are going to start somewhere different tomorrow. We have a few yellowtail planned for the morning, and then upward. Thanks for checking in, Jeff and the Indy crew

WOW. STARTING OFF RITE

Good evening to everyone from the Indy. We arrived at our starting location yesterday and things are going extremely well for us. We've caught nice grade yellowtail, schoolie size yellowfin tuna, and today by far was the best fishing I've experienced in a while, limit style fishing on 35 to 70 lb. yellowfin, just awesome , beautiful fish , biting , biting fish. Everyone on board is blown away so far, super fun fishing. The weather is just perfect as well. We are all going to sleep well tonight , after Michele's famous rack o lamb. We put up a few pics from today's action on our FB page, real beauties, thanks for checking in, Jeff and the Indy crew

WOOD

Greetings from the independence, here is what we know. I didn't think it could get any better down here, but I was wrong. Today the gang on board here put the wood to these yellowfin tuna down here. Again like yesterday it was one stop shopping, limit style fishing for all 31 guys on board here. Absolutely the best fishing in quite a while going on rite now. 35 to 70 lb. fish on a terror , rampage bite, full tilt. As always nothing lasts forever, but for the time being things look very favorable for the future trips. We are going to gain some altitude and get into position to hunt down some yellowtail for the next few days. We posted a few more pics on F B from today's carnage, sea ya all later, Jeff and the Indy crew

Another Golden Day

Wow, today was really a win, win day for us on the Indy. The morning brought really fun fishing for premiums, 25 to 40 lb. yellas, and the afternoon was very productive, as we were topping off our tanks with beautiful greenies, and the yellows got on us for a full speed sundowner on nice grade yella. We are going to sit here tonite and see what happens. Everyone is tired, and ready for the showers. Sea ya all later, Jeff and the Indy crew

Good Living

After our early evening ripper on yellows last nite we scouted around and got the anchor down for the evening. After a wonderful pork chop dinner by Michele the jumbo yellowtail found us and the guys put together a very nice score on 30 to 40 lb. beauties till dawn. Today we covered lots of water while catching big calicos and more yellas, and we have one more stop for tomorrow before calling it a trip. The spring fishing this year 2015 has been just outstanding, really one of the best I can remember. Thanks for checking in, Jeff and the Indy crew
