We are moving right along down here with good fishing for wahoo and yellowfin tuna. We have been grinding it out the last few days and have a great catch for the effort. The skinnies have been moving in the past few days and there is no shortage in the ways of school grade tuna. We will be working up the beach looking for yellowtail tomorrow. The weather is hot and balmy to say the least and we are all in good spirits. We would like to thank Kevin from Youngs Tackle and all of his great sponsors.

GREAT FISHING

by Paul Strasser, 9-19-2019


Hello folks. So far our trip has been a great success. We fished at Guadalupe for some large tuna. The fishing was tough there but we managed to catch some nice grade tuna and a token Wahoo . We went back to the local area for some nice scores of Yellowfin Tuna with just about limits for every one with the average around 20 to 25 lbs. One more day before we call it a trip. We will be sending one more report tomorrow. Paul & the Indy crew

KIMURAS 8 DAY BEGINS

by Mark Pisano, 9-24-2019


Hello everyone, we have started fishing on the Gary Kimura annual 8 day fall trip. Last night and today we had typical fall fishing! Yellowfin Tuna highlighted the day with good fishing on 15-35 pound fish with lots in the 25-30 pound range. We also caught Wahoo, Yellowtail, ,Dorado, Pargo and Grouper.  The weather has been a bit rainy and windy due to the left over effects of Hurricane Mario which passed well outside of us as a tropical depression and then made landfall just about San Pablo point. The outlook is for good weather the next couple of days. We plan on concentrating on the Wahoo today. Wish us luck, the Indy crew

TUNA & WAHOO

by Mark Pisano, 9-26-2019


Hello again from the Independence, We have been busy fishing the last couple of days with good Yellowfin Tuna in the early morning hours. Before daylight and late in the afternoon which seems to be bite time as of late. During the day the Wahoo fishing has been steady fishing with 30-45 pound fish. Lots of short stops with 3 to 8 fish a stop. We are heading up the line and will be looking for Yellowtail on the various spots. Weather has been flat calm and beautiful. Thanks for checking in. Mark and the Indy crew
