Plenty of action going on out here, really gooood fishing rite now. We are gaining altitude now getting in position for more Yellas tomorrow. Sea ya then , Jeff

MUCHO YELLOW TODAY

Good evening folks, we had a one stop shopping type day here on the Indy , as the Yellowtail fishing was as good as it gets. 18 to 25 lb. fish biting everything, long rod 7x guys killed em, 6x yo yo and bait were all instant bites. We got fixed up and then made a few more stops for Bass and such. We've had an awesome trip and now time to start the ride home. Sea ya all later ,

E T A 0645

Excellent fishing, excellent group, excellent weather. 10 +
Here's what worked, the Jimmy bombs, salas 6x jr, catchy 33's and sum horsepower for the wahoo. Everything else is just a matter of execution, the tuna and yellowtail were pretty basic fishing, bait or jig. Sea ya later, Jeff and the Indy crew,

Great Day 4 Yellowtail

We got started in the right way down here. We found good sign of Yellowtail in the morning. Flurry style fishing at times. The yo yo jig seemed to work as well as the sardine. We ended up tagging our share till they stopped biting and continued our quest southbound. We have been monitoring this storm to the west of us and have a good window to make the pass. Weather is still beautiful and everyone is having a great time. We are going to be targeting Tuna and Wahoo the next few days. Wish us luck. Matt and Indy crew.

MIXED BAG

What a great day of fishing! We started off with good weather and great Wahoo fishing. Everyone had more than their chance at a few toothy critters. We ended our day with a sun downer bite on good grade Yellowfin Tuna. The weather is beautiful and a bit humid to say the least. Our plan for tomorrow is to try for more of this beautiful grade Tuna and a few more Wahoo. Wish us luck. Matt and Indy crew.

Terrific Day

Another awesome day for us today. We started off last night with a great nighttime bite on good grade yellowtail as well as good Tuna. This morning started off with a good hit on yellowfin and we decided to look for more wahoo and we connected. Lots and lots of fun for us today. The guys are stoked and everyone got their fill of fish today. Lots of sore bodies on this boat right now! Our plan is to try for a few more yellowtail tonight and some exotics. The weather is still good and we have time to try for a few more wahoo tomorrow. Wish us luck!

EXCELLENT ACTION

Hello everyone, we had outstanding fishing for that 18 to 30 lb. Tuna and a good mix of Wahoo as well today. Throw in a couple of big Dorado and there you have it. Limit style Tuna , just great fishing and great weather for us down here. We are going to keep at it, sea ya tomorrow, Jeff

LOG JAM

Today was one of those days you dream about, as Wahoo fishing was literally off the hook. From sun up till sun down we were busy pulling on these 40 to 60 lb. beauties with a few bigger ones mixed in. Again the hot lures were Jimmy Bombs and Salas 6x. Absolutely the best weather one could imagine out here. We did have another shot at sum big Bull Dorado and that nice grade Tuna to round things out, and we are going to try this program again tomorrow. Sea ya then, Jeff

TOPPED OFF

Hey there gang , we had another stellar day here on the Indy. Excellent Wahoo fishing again and then we topped off our Tuna quota on those 18 to 30 lb. beauties. Spectacular weather is still the norm and we are currently gaining altitude. Fat and happy pretty much sums up the vibe on board. Sea ya later, Jeff
