Westcoast Marketing Returns

Team Independence would like to thank everyone who made the trip this year, along with Rick Ozaki who styles everyone out with the best fishing gear giveaways. Thanks again to all. We got the boat turned around on another 7 day extravaganza, the 9th Tahoe Tuna Club trip. With a decent supply of sardines we are off and running for points south. With some luck from the weather gods we hope to put it together somewhere down here in the next few days, wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

Tuna Searching

We spent the day offshore in search of tuna , yellowtail, and dorado. We found lots of vacant kelps, and a few that saved the day. We ended up with a little over a hundred yellowtail and a hand full of dorado. It wasn't the perfect weather to look in, but good enough to find a few. We are going to look around an island tomorrow and see if anything is going on down there, wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

Great Morning For Yellas

We had a great morning catching quality Yellows on everything, Salas, Yo Yo, Sardines, 7x ect....
Everyone had a great time pulling and yanking till about noon, and then it sorta died. Good grade 18 to 30 lb. fish . We'll see what happens tomorrow changing locations, sea ya then , Jeff and the Indy crew

Wahoo

We spent the day trying for Wahoo today and had some moderate success on them. Most of the gang on board here had not caught them, so today was special for them. The weather was a bit choppy, so conditions were not stellar. We are going to try something else for tomorrow, everyone is having a great time. Sea ya later, Jeff and the Indy crew

HERE IS WHAT WE KNOW.

We've been having good fishing the past few days on Yellowtail and Yellowfin tuna down here in the grounds. Yellows up to 30 lbs. and tuna up to 25 lbs. for all on board. Decent weather has been on our side for the most part, and looks to continue for the remainder of the trip. Sorry no pics, but everyone is doing just fine. Thanks for checking in on us, Jeff and the Indy crew

Scratching Away

Yesterday we had some offshore action on Yellowfin Tuna and Yellowtail and topped the day off with more Yellows before calling it quits, around a hundred fish total. Today we scratched at Yellowtail for most of the day , afternoon being best and a couple of hand full of tuna. We have had some windy conditions lately, and looks to stay that way for a while. Everyone is doing quite well,, enjoying the fishing and Ed's great meals. Stay tuned , Jeff and the Indy crew

THIS IS GOOD LIVING...

After a long and uneventful ride up to the tuna grounds we were rewarded with a 10 hour drift catching these beautiful grade Yellowfin and Bluefin Tuna. We had many a chance at these 30 to 50 lb fish today. 110 mixed fish for the effort. Great weather was the bonus. We are going to give it another try tomorrow in hopes of more of these beauties. Check out the pics on F B , sea ya then, Jeff and the Indy crew
