Hello everyone , Brian Porter / Seeker 15 day departed yesterday with a nice load of bait and lots of eager Indy regulars and sum new soon to be regulars. Lots of great giveaways along with a few super giveaways were received by all. With a few good looking prospects off our bow we start the long journey down to the grounds.

Great start

by Indy Crew, 1-20-2016



Good evening everyone, we had a great start to the trip today as we had good fishing for yellowfin tuna in the 140 to 220 lb. range with a good showing on the 160 to 190's. 2 fish made the 200 lb. mark and a hand full of wahoo for the day. Really good weather down here rite now. We are just getting going so things look favorable for us. Check back tomorrow, sea ya then, Jeff

STILL SCRATCHING AWAY

by Indy Crew, 1-22-2016


While we deal with less than ideal conditions down here we are opening the hatch on a fairly regular basis, scratch fishing on 70 to 150 lb. fish and sum wahoo in the mix. With lots of time left we are biding our time in hopes of connecting with some of the trophy's that are around here. As is always the case , the full moon has altered things down here, and rite now not in our favor, or so it seems. We are going to keep at it, as everyone is still in the game, having a great time. Let's hope for a few banner days in the near future, sea ya then, Jeff

All is well... GREAT

by Indy Crew, 1-25-2016


Hello again everyone, the past few days have been good as far as production goes. Really good fishing for 125 to 210 lb. yellowfin tuna, with the majority being that 130 to 180 lb fish. Just a beautiful grade. We have managed around 65 of those and a couple dozen wahoo the past two days. Clean fishing, not many sharks or junk , so most bites are the real deal. We picked up 3 cows today and hope to keep the ball rolling for tomorrow. Great weather is on tap , so wish us luck for our last day tomorrow, sea ya then, Jeff

Good scratching today

by Indy Crew, 1-26-2016



We had another great day catching 100 to 185 lb. tuna. The chances were available for those who put in the time. Over all grade is a solid 125 to 170 lbs. with a few bigger and a few smaller. Perfect conditions for he most part, so we are pleased with the results . Check out the pics on FB . We are done fishing and on our way up. We'll post more pics tomorrow or the next day, sea ya then, Jeff
