Hi folk; Well our weather has definitely changed. It was a bit chilly today with a breeze of 15 to 20 knots. Our fishing was definitely not anything like yesterday, but by no means would I call it a poor day. Largest fish today was about 170 pounds, caught on a sardine, by Frank Fink. We caught 16 Yellowfin tuna and 41 Wahoo for the day. Hopefully we will get a shot at the bigger fish tomorrow. Wish us luck. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Hi everyone; We arrived at Hurricane bank at 06:45 hour. Weather here is quite nice with 8 to 12 knots of breeze and a little overcast. Fishing today was quite fun. We caught 86 Wahoo and 30 Yellowfin tuna. Largest Yellowfin tuna today was caught by John Halcrow, of North Dakota. John just returned from a tour of duty in Afghanistan and 2 tours in Iraq. He booked this trip last year from Iraq, while he was in a rather dire situation. He has been looking forward to this trip for a long time needless to say.

Hi folks; We arrived at the Nave garrison at Clarion island at 06:30 hours. By 07:45 we had completed our inspection and we were on our way to fishing the buffer zone (6 plus mile off the island) area. We saw descent sign of fish that wee pretty wild and most were in the 40 to 70 pound class. We caught 5 Yellowfin tuna for the morning and by 13:00 hours we took off for Hurricane bank. We are hoping for good Wahoo fishing and obviously plenty of big Yellowfin tuna. Wish us luck, the R/p crew. P.S. We will have photos on tomorrow report. "Bent Rods For Life"

Hello everyone; Weather continues to be excellent, with a slight breeze, warm days, and clear skies. We made a few stops to catch some Yellowtail for lunch, and we were not disappointed. We caught enough Yellowtail for a lunch and a dinner meal. Most of the Yellowtail were in the 12 to 14 pound range, with a few going over 20 pounds. Largest Yellowtail caught today was by Mike Gauger of San Diego. Mikes fish was around 28 pounds. We will pick up the remaining passengers tomorrow in Cabo San Lucas. Frank will take over the writing for the next two weeks. So until fingers and key board met again, good luck and good fishing. The R/p crew. P.S. Joyce, we hope you like Steve haircut!!!
