FISHING AGAIN
Well after a few weeks of boat-work we are back at it! We left today on the annual Avet, Seaguar / Raider lures 16 day trip. Lots of familiar faces on board and we are striving to have a good time. Rick Ozaki has a ton of giveaways in store and we have some time to kill before we fish. Nice to be back out here and we will keep you posted. Matt and Independence Crew.
TRAVELING SOUTH
Hey folks. We are still on our way to the fishing grounds. The days have been spent getting ready for battle. Yesterday chartermaster Rick Ozaki gave away a ton of prizes from rods, Reels, jigs, and spools of seaguar fluorocarbon and spectra. Everyone was a winner. We still have a ways to go but are getting closer by the minute. The weather has been great thus far and it’s starting to warm up. We will keep Judy posted with our progress so stay tuned.
GETTING SOME GOOD ONES
Got a short report from the boat. They are picking away at the Tuna and Wahoo. So far they have 9 Tuna over 200# and 1 over 300#. Once the boat gets back in WIFI range we will have a more detailed report and some pictures. That should occur sometime Wednesday.
GREAT DAY TODAY
Just talked to Matt and he reported a very good day yesterday. They started with decentTuna fishing in the morning and then trolled up some nice Wahoo. Later in the afternoon they got the anchor down and it was game on for the better grade Tuna. When all was done they had 25 Tuna. Six of those were 240#-280# with 1 over 300#. Once the boat starts coming up the line we should be receiving some pictures. We expect that to be on Wednesday. Matt and the crew says hello to all.
NICE FINISH
We are back online headed home and we ended with a bang. We had great fishing the last few days with fish up to 300 pounds. We had a great time and successful trip. The weather stayed beautiful for the entire time. All smiles seeing those cow grade fish coming over the rail. The Wahoo fishing kept us busy throughout the day with a shot in the evening for cows. The internet is back and everyone had a safe and fun time. Very fun and talented group of fisherman and patience was the key to success.
