Very good morning here gang with only a few heart breaks but a 90% hook to land ratio I'd call it on these beautiful 70-90# Bluefin with one topping the scales about 130#

Had a good day today on these nice quality yellows and are moving up the line to get into position for some tuna for tomorrow, hopefully we get a little hit in the morning. It's a little bumpy on the ride up here but we should be there about 5 am wish us luck
Derek Waldman
We're keeping a few on the line this morning seems we keep at least one to four goin so far
Good morning guys and girls the signal last night was intermittent so had to wait till this morning for last night's closing reports. .. well after a slow morning it picked up about ten o'clock and a good day turned into an epic day of good grade yellowtail fishing. With most fish between 18-25# we got some bigger standouts mixed in. We had a lull from about 1:30 to 3:30 then had steady action till about 6:30 so we're hoping that that be the case today as well. We're going to have a couple of other boats down here with us today so hopefully everything gets spread out and everyone does good so wish us luck and maybe we might get a few more today with more pictures to follow.

But wait we do have a picture for you this evening we have chef Mike with Wahoo Modigada on a bed of spaghetti squash with Diavlo sauce and grilled zucchini.
Well not much to report this morning unfortunately. Good conditions just no yellowtail around, plenty of assorted bottom fish but not the main targeted species so on with the search
Good morning folks. We're still traveling down and will start fishing about 10 am this morning and with just a slight breez were hoping the wind stays under 10 knots and there's a few yellows around so it's a bit chilly outside at the moment nothing a little turkey avocado benidict can't fix! Wish us luck

Today was a tough day of offshore fishing. We stopped on a lot of large empty kelps. There was plenty of bait sign and the water looked good. I could see fish moving into the area if the water decides to warm up a couple of degrees. Slow days like today make you appreciate the good fishing like we had yesterday and the day before.
We will be in at Lee Palm sportfishing tomorrow at 7.

Today turned out to be a great day of fishing. We dropped the anchor at 0730 in the morning and only had to re adjust once. The action was steady all day with lots of personal limits met. Not only was the bite good but the grade was exceptional. There were a number of fish over 30 lbs with the majority being 18-25 lbs. All in all a very enjoyable day. We will be back offshore tomorrow for the last day of the trip. Hopefully we can connect.
July 19,
2016
There are
some
yellowtail
around the
boat for
those who
want to try
for one
We are scratching at these nice grade yellowtail. Pat and Bobby with a couple.
The highlight of the day so far...Mike Nall made his "California" eggs benedict.

Great afternoon today as wide open as wide open gets!!! After a short move up the line to look at some potential fishing grounds after the hand we were dealt this morning we connected in a big way stand by for the action
Derek Waldman
Good morning angler's. We've had the morning we we're hoping for, so with good steady action for the past few hours on this excellent grade yellowtail here and with the current slacking a little bit gives us a chance to move some bait around and tie on some more hooks . Not to mention the weather is finominal!
