Hello Anglers,

Last night we ran into Mag bay and picked up 3 tanks of 8 to 11 inch Mackerel and headed back down to the area we had the big yellowfin in. In the first hour or so we were drifting on one of the banks and had a few 80 pound fish boil up swell of us but never hooked one of them. When we got to looking around we saw a few scattered Dorado and a little sign of tuna scattered along the edges of the bank.We found one large school of 100 to 250 pound yellowfin in deep water on the edge of the bank and they boiled up very good for us and when we got the anchor down we hooked 5 yellowfin and only landed one that was around 80 pounds, we never saw them again. We ran east of the bank a few miles and found a series of shark buoys and we picked 30 Dorado and a couple of wahoo. The Dorado we caught were very nice size, one of which is pictured with Adam Benson. Tomorrow we are going to run up and fish the ridge to try for yellowtail and wahoo. Wish us luck.
