ANOTHER GREAT MORNING.....

ANOTHER GREAT MORNING.....
Well Labor Day started off with a bang, as the tanker sea bass showed again for us here on the Indy. We had some chances today again and the guys did well. The bite window was short but sweet, and after that we scratched here and there at yellowtail for most of the day. Picture perfect weather has made the voyage even more enjoyable. With limit style yellowtail fishing, and a couple of rounds on the big croaker we are going to start the long drive up to the tuna grounds for the remainder of the trip. Check in in a a day or so and see how it's going. Sea ya then , Jeff.

All day drifts......

Good evening from the Indy. To sum it up , today was awesome fishing for 30 to 45 lb. bluefin tuna. Despite windy weather , they put on a great show all day long. Many, many chances were had by all to stock up on these beauties before they vamoose. We are going to try this again tomorrow sea ya then , Jeff

What a great Fishery

WHAT A GREAT FISHERY........
Good evening from the Indy. From the looks of things out here today I would say that the over all sign of fish out here is outstanding. We saw giant schools of big bluefin, giant schools of 25 to 35 lb. yellowfin tuna and we managed to put together a decent day. Getting the bigguns to bite was a tough feat, but we did get a few shots at them. The yellowfin wanted to bite today and we had great action on them in the afternoon, and bluefin in the morning. Picture perfect weather is what we had today. We plan on doing this again tomorrow, sea ya then, Jeff

ETA 9/6/14

Our Eta is 6am 9/6...see you at Point Loma..Departing Anglers, remember your Passports.

Awsome Fishing

Just plain fantastic fishing for us....
Hey everyone we had another stellar day out here with chances at the bigguns and excellent fishing for that 25 to 45 lb. yellowfin tuna. We tried everything to get the big bluefin to bite, we hooked a hand full of them , but landed a couple today. Most were lost after long battles, but when you get one it's a trophy, 75 to 100 lb. the yellowfin on the other hand were willing to cooperate , and we had a super fun day on quality fish , with daily limits for all. Great weather made it all the more enjoyable. We will be back to the dock at 0530 tomorrow, sea ya then, Jeff

QUICK TURN AROUND......

The coast side fishing club returned with a gorgeous catch yesterday, 1st place rick berg with a 80 lb. bluefin , 2nd Dane Barriault with a 75 lb. bluefin, 3rd jack thrush with a 74 lb. bluefin. Also nice going guys on all those 50 - 60 lb. sea bass. It was a super fun trip for all, and many thanks to everyone who made it happen. Currently we are out again on 7 day Young's Tackle with lots of eager anglers and high hopes for things to come. From the looks of things tropical storm Norbert doesn't look like it will be a problem for us.. Wish us luck, Jeff

Off To A Good Start

Despite windy and rough conditions we put together a good today on bluefin and yellowfin tuna. The fish are still here, just poor working conditions is all. We are going to give this another go for tomorrow, as the weather report is advertising better conditions. Beautiful fish out here for sure. Sea ya all tomorrow, Jeff

No shortage.......

Hello again from the independence. Today we saw plenty of fish, but getting a bite was tough. We did get a few schools to bite some hooks, but overall it was not what we call good fishing. We hope tomorrow is better, sea ya then, Jeff

Yellowfin tuna today....

Today we scratched away at 16 to 30 lb. tuna with decent weather for the most part. Everyone got to yank on some fish , and enjoy the day. We are hoping for a great day tomorrow, so check back and see what happens , sea ya then, Jeff

Mixed Bag

Good evening everyone, we had a mixed bag today, as the morning was yellowtail, and the afternoon was bluefin tuna. Just enough action to keep everyone in the game. Great weather also. We are going to keep trying again for tomorrow, so wish us luck, Jeff

Great Fishing today

The offshore scene was in high gear today, as the hot action got going early on in the morning. Beautiful grade yellowfin tuna in the 18 to 30 lb. range were biting until lunch time and then they went down until late in the day we got one more hit. We got our daily limits easily, and everyone was a yanking and a cranking , having a great time. Picture perfect weather also made for a great day. In Closing off for the night, we want to send out our thoughts and prayers to everyone that was hurt or died in the tragic 9/11 disaster. We were thinking of you all on this day... Sea ya later , Jeff

Getting caught up

Let's get caught up........
We have been out since Saturday on our 7 day Izorline , turners tackle open. There were soooo many great give aways, I'll have to mention them at a later time, that everyone received , as well as rods and reels. The first 2 days of fishing were off the hook good for yellowtail. Steady action on good grade fish up to 40 lbs. , with most being 20 to 30 lbs. we are pretty much done with the yellows, and big calicos, so we are going to gain some altitude and put some distance between us and the storm down below. Limit style fishing , and excellent weather is a great start for the trip. Next on the list is tuna, so stay tuned and wish us luck for the next few days, sea ya then, Jeff

Well ahead of the storm

I just got off the phone with Jeff and he has assured me that they are well ahead of the storm that is coming up the Baja Peninsula. They are presently working up to begin their quest for tuna. I received several calls today regarding the storm and this note is to put your mind at ease. Thanks John

Dorado Dorado Dorado

Hello everyone: Today we combined travel and fishing with great results . While making our way up to the tuna grounds we were in kelp country that were holding nice grade Dorado. Great action on 10 to 20 lb. Fish put on an acrobatic show for everyone, and the pace was fast as it gets ; sorry no pictures today as things were just too busy at the time. Slightly breezy weather for the next few days out in the Tuna zone, so wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

It's Tuna time

Another great day......
We had good fishing for Yellowfin Tuna today, with the morning being best, as the afternoon was windy. Everyone got to catch a hand full of fish today, and we are going to try it again tomorrow, wish us luck, Jeff

Bluefin icing on the cake

Hello again folks, we have spent the past few days offshore in search of yellowfin and bluefin tuna with good results on both species. Today was spent working on bluefin, and all we needed was some decent weather to work in and good results were had by us. Around 40 bluefin for the effort , and we are on our way home. We have had a great time fishing every day out here, and a great catch to unload tomorrow, we will be in at 0530, sea ya then, Jeff

Heading South

Hello again from the bridge of the Independence, we made a quick smooth turnaround and are back out on an 8 day sponsored by Seeker rods with Brian Porter as charter master, currently we are headed south to start the trip in the lower latitudes, tropical storm Polo looks to be a non factor for us as it is losing steam south of Cabo and turning west out to sea. We will report as the trip progresses. Have a great day, the Indy crew

YELLOWTAIL ACTION

We started the trip fishing yellowtail and had good fishing on 12-18 pound Yellowtail, both the jigs and bait did the trick. Our weather made things very difficult with 20 to 25 knots of wind most of the day and evening, we caught our limits nonetheless. We plan on working south tonight and tomorrow to the more traditional 8 day grounds. Wish us luck

Wahoo

Mark just sent in this photo of a nice Wahoo. Thought you might enjoy. More in depth report later on

Fun in the sun

We have had good fishing for Yellowfin tuna the last two days, most fish are 15 to 25 pounds with a few handfuls better than that and some smaller that we released. Throw in a few Wahoo, Pargo , Dorado, Marlin, Yellowtail, Grouper and that was our last couple of days fishing. The weather has been hot,hot,hot and the ocean calm,calm,calm so all and all,lots of fun fishing with a great group of guys. We are moving tonight to trophy hunt tomorrow. Wish us luck

Kimura 8 day begins........

Hello everyone, we departed on Sunday with a good supply of sardines and some eager fishermen aboard. Yesterday we had good yellowtail fishing for 18 to 30 lb. fish, with very near limits for the day. Windy conditions were what we had to work with and it was tough, but workable. Today we found ourselves in a wahoo zone in the morning, and we had a great morning fishing for beautiful grade skinnies up to 45 lbs. lots of guys got their first wahoo ever today, and it was a real hoot to watch the action. The afternoon we caught some yellowtail, released a marlin and tagged a few tuna. Lots of life out here rite now, I forgot to mention the big orca show we saw yesterday , quite impressive, 8 of them chasing down lunch. We are making the move to another destination for tomorrow, and really good weather , so we will report again when we have some thing to pass on, sea ya then , Jeff
