Game over.....

by Indy Crew, 5-03-2015


Well, we've been working at it day and nite and I can say it hasn't been easy, but we've put together a trip on quality yellowfin tuna, over all tough fishing though. 15 to 20 good ones a day, meaning fish 100 lbs. to 150 lbs. and up, with 20 to 30 filler fish 25 to 50 lb.ers and a chance at a cow here and there. Great weather and a really fun group of guys to fish with is what it's all about. We are headed up. Jeff and the Indy crew

3 day extravaganza

Great fishing on 3 day extravaganza....
Good evening everyone, we are just checking in from the Indy. We are all finished up on our 3 day Memorial Day special. Yesterday started off with a bang, as there was good sign of 18 to 25 lb. yellowfin tuna biting early, 35 fish and then they vanished. We spent the rest of the day enjoying STEADY fishing on 18 to 25 lb. yellowtail easily catching daily limits. Today we scratched at the yellas, and rock fish before calling it a trip. Everyone had a blast , even if the weather was up, fishing was outstanding. We will be back tomorrow at 0530, sea ya then, Jeff and the Indy crew

Yellows And Blues

by Indy Crew, 5-31-2015


Good evening from the Independence. Currently we are on day 2 of our annual Dick Shaffer 8 day fishing adventure. We tried our hand at the local BFT yesterday and captured 16 of them before dark, and today we had a good sample of Yellowtail fishing this afternoon to break up the ride down the beach. There were lots of giveaways and raffle items in between drifts as well. We are headed down at the moment, with great weather off our bow, and will report again as soon as we have something to report. Wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew
