Started out trying for trophies today and saw  good sign of 40-80# fish. We got a start on these beauties with the finesse style approach. We want more so we are gonna hang tight and try again tomorrow. Matt and Independence crew
 

WORKING AT IT

Persistence was the name of the game today. A good lively bait away from the boat and you were tied into a beauty. We picked away today on 40-70# Bluefin with a couple over the 100 pound mark. Very good sign of fish around the boat all day. We got a good taste of these magnificent specimens and started heading south for the next piece of the puzzle. Weather remains terrific and all is well on board. Matt & the Indy crew

HEADING SOUTH

Covered a lot of good water and area today. We tagged a few Yellowtail and Yellowfin in our travels. Very good sign of life but not really what we are after. We will arrive at our destination in the morning looking for Tuna and Wahoo. The weather is great and the guys are pumped to get some action. Wish us luck. Matt and Independence crew. Happy Veterans Day and thanks to all who have served for this country. Matt and Independence crew. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

AS GOOD AS IT GETS

We had a day one could only dream about. Absolutely as good as Wahoo fishing gets. Sun up to sundown we were yanking on big Wahoo. There was a tremendous volume of fish around today and everybody got a shot at the skinnies. Lots of sore arms to go around. The Tuna bit for us as well and we couldn't ask for much more. Good weather good fishing and good company. Tomorrow we try again. Matt and Indy crew

ANOTHER FINE DAY

Hard to beat a day like yesterday but we had good Tuna fishing this morning before we headed south looking for greener pastures. Good sign of school grade Tuna but took a little while to get em going. We scratched a few more Wahoo for the effort and Tuna fish remains on the menu. We are going to try for some native bait tonight and see if we can entice them in the morning. Good weather down this way. Matt and crew

VARIETY, THE SPICE OF LIFE

The hits keep coming out here. Another great day of Tuna fishing. We picked away till about noon on good gradeTuna. The guys dropper looping captured a few dandy Yellowtail as well. We got a fast flash on jumbo Mahi today as well. A very fun filled day indeed. We are starting our way up tonight fishing the coast for Yellowtail. We have been very fortunate thus far and hope to keep the ball rolling. Wish us luck. Matt and Independence crew.

MOVING UP THE LINE

We fished the coast today for steady bass action and a few Yellowtail. Lots of fun in the grease weather. The bass were hitting too! We are enjoying the ride up and will be offshore tomorrow looking for a kelp. Matt & Indy crew

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE

We hope everyone had a great thanksgiving as we are out on Roger’s 15 day tuna classic. Yesterday’s departure saw many Indy regulars as well as some new faces aboard. So starts the trek down to the grounds, Roger in the meantime has been busy playing Santa doling out lots of goodies for everyone to use down there. The weather has been blustery but not a problem going in this direction. Check back in a few and maybe a decent report will appear, Jeff & the Indy crew

FUN DAY

We made a stop today and the guys enjoyed a few nice bingos on these fat Wahoo. It was a great way to spend the afternoon and break up the ride. Let’s sea how it goes tomorrow, Jeff & the Indy crew
