Hi folks; Weather was much nicer today, ten knots of breeze and sunshine. Our fishing continues to be a scratch on the Wahoo with 18 landed today. Tuna fishing is tough. W?e caught 2 fish in the 110 to 135 pound category and 30 in the twenty to thirty pound category. There is a great highlight to the day however. Mark Frankenberger who came all the way from Georgia, landed a monster Yellowfin, weighing 314 pounds. It is the largest Yellowfin that I personally have seen caught at Hurricane bank. It was a kite fish caught on a live flyer. We did leave the bank today and we are now headed for Clarion Island, where we are hoping to find better tuna fishing. We will be there at daybreak tomorrow. Wish us luck. The R/p crew. P.S. Only 13 passengers on the next trip. Want to join Roy Rose and the crew? Give our office a call and talk to Scotty or Andrea' (619) 226-8030 " Bent Rods For Life"

Hi folks; Our weather at the bank was better today with less wind and more sun. Fishing for Wahoo was descent and fun for those who got 2 or 3 fish. I know of one passenger who has been bit on the iron at least seventy-five times and the fish are definitely ahead in the game. We caught 3 Yellowfin from 100 to 140 pounds and about 15 in the 25 to 40 pound range. Unfortunately we lost a couple of very heavy cows. Richard Losey fought a fish on 130 pound Blackwater for 1 hour and 15 minutes and unfortunately the top shot pulled out of the spectra. That fish was at least 250 pounds as I handled the rod several times helping Richard. We will be here till noon tomorrow, then we will take off for Clarion. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Hi folks; Weather was a bit breezy, 15 to 18 knots and overcast most of the day. Fishing was a bit slow, however we had good scratch fishing on the Wahoo. Our passengers are having a good time and once again we was lots of Yellowfin that would not bite. The R/p crew. "Bent Rod For Life"

Hi folks; Tuna fishing at Hurricane back continues to be quite difficult. We landed 2 fish today, one at 140 pounds and the other at 174 pounds. The highlight of our day was a couple of hours of good Wahoo fishing. Richard Losey has been our hot angler on the Wahoo, however he could not fish them today because he already has his 3 day limit. Actually he handed a few off to some other anglers. Everyone seems to e having a good time, despite the tough tuna fishing. Hoping for better day tomorrow, wish us luck. The R/p crew.

Hello everyone; This morning we saw many fish jumping on the entire bank. They did not bite well. We caught 6 Yellowfin tuna from 140 to 206 pounds. The largest fish was caught by Richard Losey. During the day we scratched 16 Wahoo on the anchor on iron and Sardines. In the evening we only saw a few fish and caught one at 90 pounds on the kite. Weather today was overcast with 8 to 12 knots of breeze. I am sure many of you have fished a long trip with Mike Heishima. Well this trip his father is aboard and this is definitely proof that the saying "like father, like son" is not always true. Dr. Heishima is a very polite, reserved gentle human being, and a real pleasure to have aboard. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Hi folks; We arrived at Hurricane bank at 10:30 hours. Weather is a bit sloppy, with 15 to 18 knots of wind and a strong current going north. We caught 41 Wahoo for the day and just a couple of small Yellowfin tuna, that we cut up for chunks. One of the seiners said he saw a hand full of big fish in the early morning, so we have big hops that things will get much better as far as the tuna fishing. We will try for live flyer's tonight, so wish us luck. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Hi folks; Our traveling is quite smooth, however we are pleased that we are not going the opposite direction. Wind is 18 to 20 knots. Out of the Northwest with clear skies and a water temperature of 74.75 degrees. We did our last seminar this morning on fighting Yellowfin tuna techniques, going over safety issues and how to actually go to the tank and properly hook a bait. We will arrive at Hurricane bank at 10:00 hours, Saturday morning and we are keeping our fingers crossed that we will have some good fishing. The R/p crew. P.S. April 20th trip sponsored by SDlongrange.com and Accurate reels only has 13 passengers. Its a great time to fish with a light load. Call our office if you are interested (619) 226-8030.
