trip 20-17 Hot action today
Variety style fishing today with lots of action on yellowfin yellowtail and wahoo. The weather was hot and so was the fishing. We had great conditions today with lots of school grade tuna on the surface and yellowtail below. We trolled around and snagged some wahoo in between spots and the guys are happy. We are going to enjoy a nice meal on the anchor tonight and hope to get started again early tomorrow morning. Wish us luck Matt and Independence Crew
ANOTHER GOOD DAY

THE BEAT GOES ON
Fun fishing again today till the water turned and the fish split. We got a few whacks in on better grade tuna and some Wahoo. We took off to put our self in position for tomorrow. Matt & the Indy crew
YELLOWTAIL
We spent the day Yellowtailin today and had very good sign of 18-25 pound fish. The hot ticket was the yo yo jig as well as the flyline sardine. There was some good schools that were boiling around and by the looks of it you would think one would get rich. We were rewarded with more than a sample but as a fisherman you always want more. We are going to be working up the beach tonight and on the hunt again in the morning. We finally have a breeze to cool off but the mild chop is not bad. We will check in tomorrow. Matt and Independence crew.
ETA
Traveling up in great weather! We finished up today and only managed to snag a few Yellowtail for our efforts. We ended with some nice Reds and Lings to take home for the guys. We will be in tomorrow morning. We would like to thank Kevin from Youngs Tackle for putting the trip together and thanks to all our anglers for coming out. A very fun group that put their time in at the rail. See you guys in the morning. We will arrive at 0615 Saturday morning. Matt & Indy crew
trip 20-19 Phenix Rods / Roger's
We left Saturday on Rogers Phenix Rods open and we spent the first day traveling down and getting rigged up with high hopes. Roger had some great giveaways as usual with rods reels shirts and all sorts of swag. We had a good showing of premium 18-25 pound yellowtail today. Surface iron yo yo jigs and the good ole flyline sardine were the hot ticket. The weather was excellent and it was a great way to start off the trip. We are going to be in tuna mode tomorrow looking for yellowfin. The guys are all rigged up in hopes of wahoo as well. We are excited about what’s hopefully off the bow. Wish us luck. Matt and Independence Crew.
TRIP 20-18
We had a great day of tuna fishing today on 20-30 pound fish. A couple of go rounds on yellowtail and some wahoo. We are camping out in this fine weather and hoping for more hot action again tomorrow. Matt and Crew

20-18 Another Hot Day Of Fishing
We had another hot and heavy day of fishing yesterday for yellowtail and 20-30 pound Yellowfin tuna. The guys (and Gals) are doing fine and we are very happy with the catch we have on board. We worked up the coast today doing some exploring for yellowtail and bass. We scratched our way up catching a few here and there working up to put ourselves in position for our final day of fishing. The weather is still perfect and we are enjoying the ride up with fish stories and cocktails. Matt and Independence crew.
trip 20-18 IT'S A WRAP
We wrapped it up today with some beautiful reds and lingcod before heading for the barn. Lots of smiles as we are heading up the line with our great group of anglers and a great catch. This was a very fun group to have aboard and we are looking forward to seeing you all again. Thanks again to Roger for putting this trip together. Thanks to all of you for making it happen. We will see you guys bright and early tomorrow morning 5am. Matt and Indy Crew

GOOD START
We are off to a great start on our United Composites 7 day with Bubba back in action. The raffle was dispersed and quite a few guys walked away with a new UC rod! We had very good fishing for Yellowtail today and managed to troll up a few Wahoo. We are hanging tight in hopes that this primo Yellowfin makes a showing. We saw a bit today and managed to catch a few to keep us interested. It is hot and humid down here and the water is hot as well. We will be up early trying and we hope to connect. Wish us luck. Matt and Independence Crew
THE BEAT GOES ON
Another amazing day of fishing today for us. We had steady action on 18-30# Yellowfin today and great weather to go with it. We trolled up a few more Wahoo and picked away at some more Yellowtail for our effort. We are very gracious to say the least and we are moving on in search for more Wahoo. The guys spent the last part of the day wiring up and we have high hopes. Wish us luck Matt and Independence Crew
WAHOO & YELLOWTAIL
We made a little move yesterday to hunt for Wahoo and a change of scenery. We had good Wahoo fishing throughout the day with steady action on big Wahoo. The fast skinnies were biting first thing in the morning and we had plenty of opportunities. We made a tour and found some beautiful homeguard Yellowtail to go with it. We had a lot of fun pulling hard with heavy tackle. We are working our way up now hoping to find a kelp offshore today. The weather remains civil with some humidity in the air but no complaints. We are shedding water weight! We will let you know how we do today. Wish us luck. Matt and Independence Crew

KELPIN
We fished offshore yesterday and found a few productive kelps with some big Mahi and a few Wahoo on them. The guys had a fun time fishing for some good eats. We spent the morning today making a few drifts for Reds and Lings to top things off. We feel very fortunate to have our catch onboard. The guys are breaking down tackle getting ready for the big meet and greet at home. I would like to thank Brian Porter aka âBubbaâ with United Composites for getting the group together. We had a great time with great fishing and excellent
GOOD FISHING
Great day of fishing today!! This morning we started down at the 23 on the ridge for a slow morning. Worked or way up to the northern part of ridge and on the way we found a piece of plywood floating with hundreds of Dorados. We kept all the Dorado we needed from 12-25lbs. Finished our afternoon on north ridge and had a good Wahoo and Tuna bite. Ended our day with 90 Tuna (20-35lbs) and 12 Wahoo up to 50lbs. Beautiful weather and good fishing. Wish us luck tomorrow..Brian & Indy crew
YELLOWTAIL
We traveled all night to get to our new destination up the beach at San Pablo. We arrived on scene around 730 this morning for a great sign of Yellowtail. Our guys had a blast catching 83 (15-30lb) Yellows on the surface iron and fly line. We will see what's on tap for tomorrow. Brian & Indy crew
FINISHED WITH A BANG
What a trip the guys had. Yesterday we worked our way up from down south and found some more bitting Yellowtail. Finished the day with a 100 Yellows and 5 Halibut. Great action all day. To finish up the trip this morning we rock fished and had success. Giant Reds and Lingcod for everyone. Heading home. We will be in at 0530 tomorrow. Brian & the Indy crew
FUN IN THE SUN
Our Private family charter is back and they got right back to business. We have got our limit of Bluefin Tuna today and yesterday in some as good as it gets weather. The group is doing their fair share of having a good time as well as putting in some serious work at the rail. We are gonna slide down to look for Yellowtail the next couple days and continue to enjoy the company. All is well on this side we will check back soon. Matt and Indy Crew
