Hello Anglers,
We departed on the 16th and tried to leave a little early so we could fish on our first day. We got our bait and cleared the point at 1230. As we were heading out we went by the one day fleet and got to the area in the evening hours and saw sign of fish right away. We had two stops for a total of 59 albacore so we got a start to our trip early. The next day we went looking for a different area of fish and we got on some fatsos. 25 to 40 plus pound albacore with 10 to 30 pound bluefin and yellowfin mixed in and boy were they biting. We had a few really wide open bites during the day and the albacore averaged 28 to 35 pounds.As our day started to come to a close our passengers were all showered up with clean clothes on and cocktails in there hands and when we had our last stop, nobody was fishing which means we had a good day. Tomorrow we are going to look offshore again for some yellowfin or bluefin and then plan some thing at one of the islands for our last day. We will check in tomorrow. Shawn and the crew
