HIGH FIVES!!!
Fortunate and epic about sums up the last few days fishing. Lots of chances at beautiful grade fish. We landed some more tuna today and ended it off with some big yellowtail.

Hellos from everyone out here on the Rusty Hook 7 day. We’ve had decent fishing yesterday and today on Yellowfin Tuna in the 30 to 70 lb. range and great weather to go along with it. On the ride down Alex had a nice tackle raffle that everyone enjoyed. We are sitting tight and see how it goes tomorrow. Thanks for checking in Jeff & Indy crew

RUSTY HOOK WRAP-UP
The past few days outside were a challenge as both conditions and lack of biting fish were a factor for everyone. We scratched the past few days and the guys earned every one of those Yellowfin. Today we had some offshore action to break up the ride. Excellent weather the entire voyage. We will tie up at 0545 tomorrow. Jeff and Indy crew
AVET REELS UNDERWAY
We got things off to a good start today as we began fishing around noon time. Nice grade Yellowfin and Yellowtail were on tap for all the guys as well as some Bluefin Tuna that wanted to cooperate till dark. Lots of yanking & cranking in the hot sun. Harry and Sarkis, the Avet guys had a spectacular reel raffle on the way down that was well received by all. Great weather down here. Stay tuned more hot action on the horizon. Jeff & indy crew

SKINNY MAHEM
Today we found ourselves right where we wanted to be, right in the middle of a Wahoo frenzy. Lots of chances at the speedsters today and the guys had the time of their lives trying for them. The lucky ones had 3 or 4 a piece before they quit. Great weather to work in made the event even more rewarding. We are gaining altitude to be in position for a rendezvous with some Yellowtail tomorrow. All is good here on the Indy. Sea ya later Jeff & Indy crew

WOW,THEY WERE HITTING
Hello from the Independence. We had a morning hit on 20 to 28 lb Yellowtail that most wont soon forget. The long rod guys were getting them every cast and everyone else was just as busy. Excellent fishing ! The rest of the day was catch & release Calico Bass. The weather continues to be great down here. Maybe a kelp tomorrow with a couple of Dorado before calling it quits. Sea ya then Jeff & Indy crew

JOHN COLLINS INVITATIONAL RETURNS
The Indy returned on Sunday morning with a great catch of Yellowfin Tuna, Yellowtail, and Wahoo. We spent most of the trip in the lower zones. We were not disappointed as the fish responded quite well. Everyone caught enough fish to fill their freezers until next time. Many thanks to the entire crew for their help throughout the trip.
Thanks for all the great raffle prizes which were so generously donated by our sponsors. Many of the passengers came up to me and said best group of guys they have ever fished with. This is evidenced by 25 of 28 who re-booked for next year. Looking forward to another great adventure next year...John Collins
