TRIP 22-35 LIMITED LOAD
Hi everyone sorry for the late post. We left Friday afternoon on a 10 day with a decent load of bait and a great group of guys. We've been traveling the last few days for not much to report. We are heading down to cow town looking for those big yellowfin tuna. We'll be there tomorrow morning. Wish us luck
TRIP 22-35 LIMITED LOAD "UPDATE"
Hi everyone, we are reporting back from the lower banks for not so good news. Can't say we ever saw good sign of tuna around down here but definitely had some exciting marlin fishing. We gave it our all looking at a few other banks but it didn't work out for us. We are going to head up and try somewhere on the ridge tomorrow. We'll check back tomorrow evening hopefully with a better report.
TRIP 22-35 LIMITED LOAD "UPDATE"
Hi everyone, started on the upper end of the ridge this morning hoping for it to be loaded up after a day rest with no boats. Definitely didn't start out red hot for us. Did a lot of driving around for very little sign of fish around, but once the afternoon came around it was like a light switch flipped on. Very good yellowfin tuna fishing with a couple wahoo and yellowtail. Tuna were up to 45lbs. Everyone seems happy to be pulling on some fish and not driving around like the last few days looking for big ones. We are going to start in a different area on the ridge and go from there. Wish us luck.
TRIP 22-35 LIMITED LOAD
Hey everyone, we had a fun day pulling on good grade yellowtail in the morning. These fish were from 18-40 pounds and had a mean attitude. Guys were fishing 50-60 pound yoyo jigs and 100 pound dropper loops and these fish were kicking our butts. Lost a fair amount due to the rocky bottom but I think everyone had a blast just hooking them. We took off in the afternoon when it slowed down looking for more yellowtail, tuna, and wahoo but it was a very tough evening for us. Caught a few nice grouper for our efforts. That being said we're going to work our way up the coast on the hunt for more yellows and some action. We'll keep ya posted.

TRIP 22-35 LIMITED LOAD "UPDATE"
Hi everyone, we are checking back in. We started on the upper end of the ridge again today seeing if we can scratch some more tuna and yellowtail. Sounded like pretty slow for the most part out of the fleet down here. We were fortunate enough to tag a few handfuls of yellowtail and a dozen or so tuna. We took off offshore around noon hoping to run into something floating but didn't work out as planned. We'll be traveling tonight getting ourselves in position to fish along the beach. We'll be targeting yellowtail hoping for a fun action packed day. Wish us luck!
TRIP 22-35 LIMITED LOAD "UPDATE"
Hey everyone, today we spent a lot of our time looking for yellowtail and bass. Had a couple drifts for action on some yellowtail from 15-24lbs. Yoyo and dropper loop were the ones getting bites. Had some nice sheepshead and bass in the mix of things. Were going to try up along the beach tomorrow hoping for a few more yellowtail, bass, and maybe a halibut. Stay tuned for tomorrow's report.

We departed Friday with our Bob Sands 11 day. The guys all got a nice goody bag with rods and reels in the mix as well. We have spent the past couple days traveling to our destination and getting ready for action. We will arrive today and we all have high hopes of what's to come.
Wish us luck.
