Spent the day catching a few wahoo and tagging/releasing small tuna. Kevin Crow is heading up the efforts and applying tags to a bunch of 20-30 pounders. Many started the wind down process breaking down a few rigs. I’m in prep mode for the crew fish off before departing for Cabo. Stay tuned! Ghostwriter out…

This is a lesson in perseverance paying off. I wake up each morning at 2:30 to check on the conditions and usually sacrifice a PL68 to the sharks. This morning’s conditions looked different. The sharks were outside the light halo and skipjack were swimming through and a couple of puffers swam by. So… I dropped…

The Bank goes Nuts Things changed from good to Nuts at the Bank! We anchored up and immediately started hooking fish. John Yamate gave a clinic on bait fish while the kite was going off. Wahoo and tuna were constantly on the hook then flying over the rail. Combine great fishing with an all day…

There are trips when you are on fire and this is Kevin’s! It could be going in a pattern of shark, small tuna, wahoo and boom, Kevin gets a big tuna. Next round, small tuna, shark, shark and boom, Kevin caught his 2nd biggest at 256#’s. Next came small tuna, small tuna, small tuna and…

The winner of the Penn 20 VISX for the first tuna over 200 on bait should have been Tom Dow but was disqualified for catching his 201#er without a connected fishing reel. The story goes like this… Tom was fishing a sardine during another rapid fire kite sequence when he hooked a nice fish. He…

Roy and crew delivered again today with an afternoon bite to remember. Every flyer that went out lasted only a few minutes with a beautiful grade of tuna. One after another, after another with Capt Roy yelling… NEXT! Captain and crew handled the controlled chaos with great care. We had 3-4 fish hooked constantly for…

Nice day with QUALITY fish hitting the deck. Three fish over 200, John Yamate 202, Bill Golder 212 and Big Man Stan Kanow with the trip best (so far) 270#’s (Stan elected for a 2nd personal best shower). The tuna ranged from 120-180 pounds and we scratched throughout the day. We trolled for wahoo between…

We had a fun day of wahoo fishing with aggressive toothy fish biting throughout the day. It kept us occupied most of the day and left only a couple hours to test out the tuna in the late afternoon. John Nutt took a few minutes from fixing Shannon’s gear to casually land today’s big fish,…
