The internet is down but just got off the phone with the Red Rooster3. Yesterday they had really good fishing at Guadalupe on premium grade fish from 100 to 150 pounds. Sounds like they were very busy with kites and balloons until dark. So far this morning half a dozen fish from 100 to 150 and on there way to another awesome day.
Let's hope it holds up

It's been a long ride up for the boat and looks like customs at 1230 pm. That should go quickly so hopefully 1:00 eta

Oct. 25, 2017

One other fish hooked and the hooks pulled close to the boat. We won't mention who it was. Headed in to the Bay to drop off and head up the line. About a five hour run back in to the harbor for drop off. Thanks again Accurate reels for all the loaner gear for the guys to use. Everything held up good and will be ready when we hit the dock

We hooked four fish in the last hour and landed three


Grant Morgan gets first place with this 203 pound yellowfin	Dennis Pennel was one of the four hooked up and landed this 135 to earn him 2nd place	Bob Michner comes in third place with this 125
