Yellowfin bite heats up (010808)

Hello everyone; Our weather today was a stiff breeze out of the northeast, with 4 to 5 foot seas, and overcast skies. Fishing today was excellent once again, with a good afternoon chunk bite. Most of the fish on the chunks were in the 180 to 195 pound catogory. The kite was good in the morning, but slowed in the afternoon. It's not much I can say about the fishing, just if you are coming on a upcoming trip, go out and get some 100 and 130 pound fluorocarbon, it will make a difference. It's not much more I can say about the bite, so I will let the photos tell the rest. Until tomorrow, wish us luck and we will keep you posted on our upcoming events. The R/p crew.

Yellowfin on the bite (010708)

Hello everyone; Well things out here are outstanding. We had excellent fishing today on 120 to 160 pound Yellowfin, with a few going over 200 pounds. Things started early on the kite, with our first two anglers getting on the board fast. It was a mixed bite most of the day, with many of the fish coming on Sardines, on 100 or 130 pound fluorocarbon, with a 6/0 ringed super mutu hook. The preferred bait for the kite was a nice health flyer (flying fish). Some times I wonder what it is about flying fish. These large Yellowfin just can't get enough of them. Weather today was warm, with 12 to 15 knots of breeze, and slight overcast skies. You could say, perfect for flying a kite. We will try our luck at flyer's again tonight, so wish us luck. Wahoo fishing was a bit scratchy today, with only 3 being boated. So with that note, I will close for now, until tomorrow, wish us luck. The R/p crew. "BeNt RoDs FoR LiFe"

Hello everyone; Our morning started out with a nice bite on 120 to 150 pound Yellowfin tuna. Our bite would not last long, due to the lack of current. So once the bite slowed, we pulled our anchor and trolled the bank for some more Wahoo. The bite was not as heated as yesterday, but we did put a few in the hole. Roy would make many move through out the day, some paying off, while others was a bit slow. Over all it was a fair day of fishing on Yellowfin tuna. Weather today was a bit breezy, with 15 to 18 knots out of the northeast, with clear skies. Last night we caught all the flying fish we could hold in our tank. We didn't have to pull the anchor, and we are hoping for the same results tonight. Roy will give this one more day, before making a decision on what to do for the rest of the trip. So with that note, wish us luck. The R/p crew. "BeNt RoDs FoR LiFe"

Wahoo on the bite (010508)

Hello everyone; Well we arrived to the bank at 10:30 hours, and it didn't take the Wahoo long to start biting. We fished Wahoo for about two hours, then dropped the Anchor and tried our luck at some giant Yellowfin tuna. We had a lack of current, so the Yellowfin didn't cooperate. We had a good day on Wahoo in the 30 to 50 pound range, and a handful of Yellowfin up-to 140 pounds. We will try our luck at some flying fish tonight, and see what tomorrow will bring. Weather today was great, with 10 knots of breeze out of the northeast, and a slow rolling swell. The Yellowfin we caught today were on the kite, so with some live flyer's tomorrow, we could have an excellent day of giant Yellowfin tuna. Roy dose not know how long he will give this place, before he decided to make a move or not, but stay tune, and we will keep you posted on our upcoming events. The R/p crew. "BeNt RoDs FoR LiFe"

Hello everyone; Weather continues to be good. We should arrive to the fishing grounds by mid-morning. Roy gave his final seminar today. He talked about fish fighting techniques, and how to hook your bait. With good reports from the boat on the inside, if things don't pan out for us here, we will be on the move once again. So wish us. Until tomorrow, good luck and good fishing. The R/p crew. "BeNt RoDs FoR LiFe"

Hello everyone; Our weather continues to be just beautiful. Today Roy talked about Wahoo fishing. The do's and how to. After the seminar was over, it was time to get busy. The crew was busy getting thing done. Most of our anglers were ready, but some of our newer passengers need a hand. Last night was our annual bingo game. With prize's up-to $400.00. The big winner last night was Sam Lewis. Sam won a Cal star 760M rod, a Newell 533 5.5 reel, and over $500.00 in cash prizes. Way to go Sam, but Sam was not the only winner, everyone was a winner last night, with door prizes for everyone. Taka Tanka makes sure everyone has a great time on his charters. With a little more than a day and a half left, we can't wait to start fishing. So until tomorrow, wish us luck. The R/p crew. "BeNt RoDs FoR LiFe"

Hello everyone; Weather could not get any better. Flat seas, clear skies, and no wind. Today was our first day of preparation. After a early morning breakfast, Roy gave his first seminar on leaders. The crew was busy getting everyone up-to date on leaders. After lunch, Taka gave everyone aboard a back pack full with goodies. We would like to thank everyone who had part in the tackle package in the back-packs. We would like to thank Katy Tanaka, Richard Hightower, Owner Hooks, Cal-Star Rods, Rick Osaki, Blackwater fishing line, Chuck Holmes, Phil Lamert, Steve Goto, Dan Ledieff. We made a few stops last night for squid, but no luck. Tomorrow is another day, so wish us luck, and we will keep you posted on our upcoming events. The R/p crew. "BeNt RoDs FoR LiFe"
