And find out the potential we did with a very good day of offshore action on 90 - 150# yellowfin tuna with a few 165 -170's in the mix and one whopper for veteran angler Steve Brunst that tipped the scales at 298 pounds! Twenty three was the grand total for the day with most coming in the afternoon from several different hits. The best news is the overall sign of fish, in particular big jumbos, or those well over two hundred pounds, was very significant today. Though not eager to bite yet, and I emphasize yet, this new development, as well as the excellent sign and afternoon action on 90 - 170's, has us in high spirits and very encouraged about good things to come in this zone. Mark my words - more, much more good fishing on these trophy yellowfin tuna is coming in this zone over the next two months. This is just the beginning. Conditions are perfect, sign of fish is improving right on schedule, and our combined efforts are keeping us on them when and where they do show.

On that note, tomorrow will be the true test as we will be accompanied by several more of the guys who are eager to join the effort and expand this newly developing zone. Needless to say we will be here as well.

Perfect working weather and an ideal twenty four hour forecast promises another fine day to focus the effort offshore tomorrow. With the signs we saw today we are fired up to get back at it and look forward to what we hope will be more good reports from all of us searching in this zone. After a few fruitless looking missions on the outside this season, we are mighty pleased and grateful that we were the chosen ones this time. With a seamless game plan up to this point, we will see if our good fortune continues.
