Dick Schaffer's send off
Hello to all! We are back online with our regularly scheduled program. Dick Schaffer 8 day trip is our first for the summertime season. We have good idea what going on locally and we are eager to see what’s going on down below. Dick had some rods and reels to give away as well as some tackle, line and shirts. We have our eyes open on our way down and hope to have another report for you soon. Matt and Independence crew.
Yellows all around.
We have been catching a few good grade yellowtail the last couple days but we have been looking at a lot more... Lack of conditions has resulted in some non biting fish. Plenty of sign of 18-25 pound fish boiling around at times but very tough to get a bite and little to show for our efforts. We are packing up and moving to hopefully greener pastures. Wish us luck.

Beautiful big yellowtail graced themselves in our presence today and they was bitin! A very tough fish to pull out of the rocks but we had a great catch of 25-48 pound fish. We are gonna try again tomorrow and hope for some more trophies. The weather is plenty nice and all are in great spirits. Matt and Indy crew.

We are out the gates again on the west coast marketing 7 day trip. We have great weather and good friends aboard. We started off this morning in the local tuna grounds and had a couple good drifts for a mixed bag of bluefin and yellowfin. We are gonna keep sliding down and looking in our travels. We had some great giveaways and we are all ready for some more action.
trip 1907 THE BITE GOES ON!!
GREAT YT BITE
Lots of fun tugging on big yellowtail today. 30-40 pound average yellowtail made their way aboard. The fishing has been really something to remember. Lots of personal best catches and plenty happy faces. We are going to give it a few hours in the morning before heading up looking for tuna. We are all in good spirits and have high hopes for tomorrow. Matt and Independence crew.

our travels home
We traveled up the line yesterday to put ourselves in position for the notorious bluefin tuna. Pretty frustrating day of watching these beauties jump around and not bite. We did end on a good note capturing a few of the 60-70 pound grade. We are headed for the barn now and feel very fortunate for our catch. We will enjoy our last supper tonight and see y’all in the morning 5:30am. Matt and Independence crew.

trip 1909 HOT BITE
We had good action today fishing for yellowtail. It got hot and heavy for a bit just like we like it. We worked hard at it all day covering lots of area until we finally got a school to stick. We have been seeing lots of sign of fish but most are reluctant to bite. We are staying put and hoping for good conditions and biting fish in the morning. Matt and Independence crew
