GOT THE BLUES

Today we did the offshore thing and saw quite a bit of the bluefin tuna down below. We had some luck on the smaller grade 30 lb. fish and had some chances that didn't work out, and some great visuals throughout the day. We are going to step it up for tomorrow and try for some bigguns, wish us luck , Jeff

ETA

The Independence will dock at Point Loma Sportfishing 0545 Saturday morning.

GREAT ENDING

Wow, what a fun day fishing on the Indy today. There was really some volume on that good grade BluefinTuna today. A guy really wants to be around when they decide to get with it, but we scratched out a great day anyhow. 18 tuna in the 60 to 75 lb. range for the effort. Flat calm seas all day long made it even more enjoyable. We've had a great trip fishing wise and weather wise and it's time to head back to San Diego. Check out the great photos on facebook. We'll be in tomorrow at 0545, sea ya then Jeff

First stop

We made a stop this morning for this big croaker and a few yellowtail before heading down to the promise land. Lots of cold water around so far, but things should be better tomorrow. The weather report looks better as well so we have that to look forward to. Wish us luck, Jeff

SUPER SPECTACULAR DAY

Wow, I'm still in disbelief over how good fishing was today. Things got going very early in the a.m. And continued for most of the day. Our catch included 16 White Sea bass, 100 Yellowfin Tuna 18 to 30 lb. , 18 Grouper to 40 lbs. and all the 18 to 35 lb. Yellowtail you could put a tag on. Needless to say things looked really good down here today . Everyone is tired and in need of some rest, but I think they are going to keep trying for the Sea Bass tonigte. The weather is good , and getting better all the time. There are a few pics on F B , but frankly it was too busy to get all the pictures I wanted, maybe tomorrow. Sea ya then , Jeff

ANOTHER GREAT DAY

We had another really great day down here as the early sea bass bite resulted in a hand full of fish and the rest of the day went like this. We topped off on that beautiful grade Yellowtail, and then caught 43 of that nice grade Yellowfin Tuna, and had great fishing for Grouper up to 40 lbs. Everyone is having a super great time. The weather is good and looks to be for a while, so we are heading back up the line and will be stopping along the way to try for more fish. Check out the photos on facebook. Sea ya then Jeff

We spent the morning in the tuna zone with windy choppy conditions and just a little sign of biting fish. A sample 6 fish is all we caught for half a days effort. Later on we caught the remaining yellows for the few guys lacking, and a few grouper to end the day on. Upward we now go and make a few stops along the way to wet a line. The weather has backed off a little and it's decent going. Sea ya later, Jeff
