trip 1916 Avet Trip-Guadalupe. Sarkis
We are out again on the annual Avet Reels 7 day and guess who got the first fish? Sarkis himself from Avet! We started fishing this afternoon with good sign of tuna. You really have to work at it to get a bite but nonetheless a beautiful grade of fish with the effort. We had a few winners of new reels and we are excited to put them to use. We will keep you posted. Wish us luck. Matt and independence crew.

trip 1916 Avet Trip-Guadalupe
The past few days have been very good to us. We have had very good fishing on 20-50 pound yellowfin. At times wide open style. There is sign of the 80-100 pound fish but seems like the same old song and dance. Lots of boils and few bites. It really makes you appreciate these fish after all the time at the rail to get a bite and most importantly land it! We are all smiles as we continue to pick away at these beauties.

TRIP 1916 ON OUR WAY HOME & eta
Not much to say but wow! We had a day of fishing to remember for sure. Excellent fishing was had by all on the epic grade of yellowfin tuna. 40-100 pounders boiling around the boat all day and the trick was to get a bait away from the boat and BOOM!! Its always nice to end on a high note. We are working our way back towards home with lots of smiles and personal bests. Weather is nice and we are looking forward to our tuna dinner. Very much a success and we are feeling very fortunate. Matt & Indy team ETA..AFTER CUSTOMS MAYBE 5;45AM..
Trip 1917: John Collins 5th Annual Trip
A great start to our annual John Collins 8 day trip. We have had good fishing thus far and we hope for more consistant action. We had a great giveaway and everyone walked away with a ton of new gear. The yellowfin are around and biting a bit so here we sit picking away. Wish us luck and more good things to come. Matt and Independence crew

1917 fish report
Another fine day of fishing
Lots to look down here the past few days. We are putting a score together but the guys and gal really have to work at it. The grade of fish is anywhere from 35-100 pounds and the are smart ones all right! Changing your bait and getting one to swim away from the boat is crucial. When everything works out the thrill of tugging as hard as you can becomes overwhelming at times. We are beyond grateful to have a chance at such nice fish. We are gonna give it hell again tomorrow and keep[ the ball rolling. Wish us luck.

TRIP 1918 stevens charter
Hello, everyone today we returned from our John Collins 8 day adventure and then departed for 6 day with the Brent Stevens group.
We are drifting on a nice school of bluefin just a few hours from clearing the point. Most are 30-40 lbs. wish us luck Mark and the Indy crew.
GOOD FISHING
Hello everyone, we have been busy fishing and enjoying the good weather and good fishing on both Yellowfin and Bluefin Tuna. We have had some chances at the bigger Bluefin in the 70 to 100 pound range and landed some and had some heartbreaks as well which goes with the territory when fishing any bigger type tuna. The rest of the tuna have been 18 to 40 pound on both species. We still have a couple days left to fish so wish us good luck. Take care Mark and the Indy crew.
