trip 20-13 Rap up
We started our 7 day trip heading to Alijos Rocks. Had a kelp to start the trip with 75 dorado. Once we arrived to the rocks we were in for a rude awaking. Sharks were to much to handle. Very good sign of yellowtail but couldn't wind them past the sharks. They ate everyone. Headed back up the line for a shot at tuna but had some delays with weather. Fished our last day in the tuna zone and caught 21 bluefin tuna and 4 yellowfin tuna. Cant say their was a shortage of fish because they were everywhere. Just had lock jaw for the fleet. We were very fortunate enough to catch what we did. Overall great group and looking forward for our next trips.
AVET TRIP UNDERWAY
We had a quick turnaround today and a good jumpstart WE have Sarkis from AVET Reels onboard and we are traveling south. Looks like a few reels to be raffled off and we are hoping to put the gear to the test. We will check back in a few days. Wish us luck Matt and Independence crew

NICE VARIETY
We have had some good yanking and cranking the last two days for Yellowfin, Yellowtail, Dorado, and a few Wahoo. Nice and warm weather down here and we are happy with the setup. Good grade Yellowtail and good grade 20-25 pound tuna has kept us busy. We are going to try it again tomorrow and hope for some more. Wish us luck Matt and Independence crew
ANOTHER GOOD DAY
Some more Yellowtail and tuna for us today. We continue to enjoy the hot weather and steady action for these good grade fish. We are working our way up the line now and have Mahi Mahi on our minds. Matt and the Indy crew
KELP PATTY DORADO
We did some kelping today and got our limit of Dorado on the way up . Good weather and a good time today. Beautiful fish that put on a great show. Always a crowd pleaser. We will look offshore tomorrow as well and see what we come up with. Matt and Indy

trip 20-15 STEADY ACTION
We have had steady action down here the past few days on wahoo< yellowtail, and yellowfin tuna. Warm weather has followed us around with the hurricane down below but wow; what gorgeous weather. We are getting along just fine and had a very good day of tuna fishing today. We are going to start working up tonight away from the depression down below and will be in search for yellowtail in our travels. Wish us luck . Matt and Independence crew
Trip 20-15 yellowtail
We have been in yellowtail mode the last few days and have covered a lot of good area but have only came up with a sample of what we are looking for. Lots of good water and good conditions but we haven’t hit the main vein. We are gonna give another go in a different area. The weather is still beautiful and we are having a great time. Sunday's ETA 6am. Wish us luck Matt and Indy Crew
trip 20-15 finish off
We finished our trip off with some yellowtail and topped off on dorado today. Once again hot and gorgeous weather was on our side and we made the best of it. We are breaking down the gear and heading for the barn. Another successful trip with a great group of guys. I would like to thank John Collins for putting this trip together and for the great giveaways in his raffle. Always great to fish with the guys and we will see you all again next year. Matt and Independence crew
GREAT TRIP
What a trip the guys had. Started our trip out traveling 95 miles out to the Tanner Bank. Woke up the next day to a feeding frenzy of 25-65 pound bluefin tuna. We ended up with 58 Bluefin Tuna {limits} and 6 yellowtail for our day. The last day of our trip was even better. The 2nd round of hungry Bluefin Tuna at the bank were on chew at 0600. We caught what we needed and left the bank around 11am. Came into the "BIG BLUEFIN ZONE" it payed off. We caught 6 fish from 90-160 pounds. Finished the trip up with 174 {limits} of Bluefin tuna and 12 yellowtail. One for the books. Brian & the Indy crew

GREAT BLUEFIN FISHING
A little bit of weather to start our trip out but didn't stop us from catching. Started our morning at the Tanner Bank catching Yellowtail and Bluefin Tuna. Our group of people had an epic day pulling on fish. Steady action which got us limits of Bluefin Tuna (10-45lbs) along with some nice grade Yellowtail. Our group had a blast yanking and cranking on these nice grade fish. Hope to see you all again real soon. Brian & the Indy crew
