New update from June Heat 2018.
Report from the Captain:  "Over the weekend we had slow fishing at the Bank. A few nice fish up to 160 pounds on various techniques. The weather is nice and the people are getting a LOT of rail time, No cows over the weekend but enough to keep the people interested whether it be a Wahoo or smaller grade fish."

Report from the Captain:
"First day we caught a dozen fish with biggest fish on the troll on our way in here. Bobby Michener with a 208 on the Nomad lure. Joe Armitsu won the daily Accurate jack pot with 190 on the fly lined sardine. We will see how it goes tomorrow morning and try and get some flyers tonight"
