Tough fishing at the Bank so far. Small fish 40 to 90 poumds with 1 fish over a hundred pounds. Really just hoping more fish move in and buying time with what's available. Weather is nice and not many sharks with good strong current keeps the hope alive

Nov. 2 -  Nov. 11, 2021 9 day trip

Nov. 10, 2021

Been working up the last few days fishing for Yellowtail, Rockcod, and even Bluefin Tuna.
We had a couple wide open bites on mid grade Yellowtail
that the anglers will not forget.
Very fun surface fishing. Because of the weather and the good fishing we headed up a day early
and fish the local Bluefin grounds in
hopes of catching a big one.
Very good sign around all day but
the few that we hooked got away.
Overall excellent fishing, weather, food, and company.
Thanks again to Nomad and the Hightower’s for all the giveaways.

Nov. 8, 2021

Few nice Yellowtail this am to start.
On the hunt for more.

 

Nov. 7, 2021

Been a very busy past few days. We had another very nice day at the Rocks and then headed into the Ridge for a few days. The Yellowfin fishing was incredible with the grade being mainly 20 to 40lbs. Also we were able to catch a few more Wahoo everyday. Now we are headed up to fish Yellowtail and whatever else bites a hook. Nice Weather

Nov. 5, 2021

Jim started us off today with a 52.2lb yellowtail.
It’s his new personal best.

 

Nov. 4, 2021

Out on are annual Nomad 9 day trip. Jason Hightower brought out a bunch of giveaways and plenty of our favorite wahoo trolling lure. We arrived at the Rocks at 1100 and the Nomad DTX stopped the boat shorty after. Very good action all day. We will be spending tomorrow here as well.
