Starting off fine here opting to tour and prospect this afternoon rather than immediately sit and settle in. While this strategy likely cost us a few fish we now have a broader base of knowledge to work with come daylight tomorrow. Far from a bust we ended the day on the right note with a dozen fine Guadalupe yellowfin tuna and a couple of bonus wahoo. As for sign overall we are feeling optimistic about the prospects here. Weather reports are extremely favorable, bait is excellent, and time in on our side.
