MAKING AN ADJUSTMENT
Hello everyone, sorry about the Lack of reports, we are out on the Stevens charter and are enjoying good Tuna fishing, 90% of the fish are 40-50 pounds with some up to 65 pounds. Weather has been flat calm the last few days with the exception being the first day and a half, we had some sea state and wind but still far from bad. We are lucky to say the least that we ended up on these beautiful grade tuna. We originally were headed south and changed up in mid stride when these things started to bite for the fleet. A call from one of our fellow good buddy's alerted us to the change in the mood of the fish. Anyhow it's all working out and with two days left we looking sweet as sugar. With great company on board and great weather on tap we will continue the adventure. Thanks for checking in on us. Have a great Labor Day weekend.
ETA 9.3.2017
The Independence will arrive at the Point Loma dock at 5:30am on 9.3.2017, anyone departing on tomorrows trip be sure to bring your passport..
Mac/Youngs 7 Day
We began our trip down in the Yellowtail zone and put together a nice day on quality Yellows. All offerings were accepted by the fish and we ended up with our daily limits before moving on. We are going to check out some good looking water down the way in hopes of some Wahoo and Tuna. Wish us luck, Jeff & crew
SUPER FUN DAY

DOING JUST FINE
So here we are , just before sunrise and these 25 to 35 lb. Tuna start biting and keep us busy for a couple of hours, with most being 18 to 30 lbs. when the sun came up. Pretty soon Wahoo are jumping around and it's time to switch gears. We ended up with a nice day on the Wahoo and Tuna, Kevin got a 40 lb. YFT during the maylay, a nice standout. The late afternoon didn't pan out so we're headed up to sea what's going on on the beach. Jeff & crew

SEEKER UNDERWAY
Hey guys we are back out on another great trip. We turned around on the Seeker 7 day with Brian Porter aka Bubba as our Chartermaster. Yesterday was a day of rigging and great giveaways. Still traveling down thus far with great weather. We were watching a storm below but looks like the coast is clear. We will arrive at the fishing grounds today hoping for lots to report. We will keep you posted. Matt and Indy crew.
FUN IN THE SUN
Good action today on Wahoo. We had a couple bingos on Skinnies today and the action was heavy at times. Everyone had a shot or two today and as you can tell by the smiles I think everyone had a good time. We are stoked on the start and hope to keep the ball rolling. Wish us luck. Matt and Independence crew.

Another fun day out here. We hung around and trolled up some more Wahoo and snagged a few Tuna. We are headed to try for someTuna tomorrow and a few more Wahoo. The weather is beautiful and is forecasted to be warm again tomorrow. Lots of fun the last couple days. Wish us luck tomorrow

Excellent Start Kimura 8 Day
We departed Sunday on our annual Gary Kimura 8 day special with a great group and some bullet proof sardines. Today was the first day fishing and it was a fantastic start for us. Full speed yellowtail fishing and sum really nice Mahi Mahi in the afternoon. All methods were working today, everything. Super nice weather down here made the event even sweeter. We hope to keep the ball rolling tomorrow, sea ya then, Jeff & crew
ANOTHER STELLAR DAY
We awoke to perfect fishing conditions today, and to biting YellowfinTuna. We were fortunate to have a school of those 18 to 25 lb. fish get on us and bite for most of the morning. Really fun to say the least and everyone got fixed up. We looked around for sum Wahoo , but only managed a lonesome Wahoo for the effort. With a very healthy foundation resting the RSW tanks we are going trophy hunting for the remainder of the trip. Wish us luck, Jeff & crew
Fun fishing to say the least

SWITCHING GEARS
We have had outstanding action the last few days and along with that even better weather. We are making the move out to try for bigguns for the next few days. Wish us luck, Jeff & crew
TROPHIES
We made it out to the big fish arena to find decent conditions and sum willing participants to do, battle with, and battle we did. The outcome was in favor of the locals, which merely used us as a meal ticket. We did have many opportunities, but that's fishing. We are geared up for another round in the octagon, hoping to even the score. 8 100 to 145 lb.Tuna was out take. Jeff & crew
