We have been extremely busy the past few weeks finishing up annual maintenance and I must say , the boat is looking as good as the day we put it in the water. All shinny new paint , complete paint job amongst other things. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the boat this year, Jeff and the Indy crew

Our current 8 day Dennis Evans trip is rolling rite along as the past few days we have been doing well on 17 to 30 lb. yellas. They seem to be loving the Salas 6 X yoyo jig the best. Everyone is having a great time down here enjoying the spring fishing and weather. Thanks for checking in, Jeff and the Indy crew

Greetings from the Indy, we had another excellent day of quality Yellowtail fishing in beautiful weather conditions. Most of the fish down here are 18 to 30 lbs. and responding to every offering we had, surface plug, yoyo jig, and the beloved sardine. We are all fixed up and gaining altitude at the moment. Check back later for more, sea ya, Jeff & Indy crew
