Trip 27 (7 day) Oct 27- Nov 3 (Day 3) Ultra-limited load

Good Morning fellow anglers, 

Yesterday, we had another exceptional day of fishing on wahoo and tuna. Most of the yellowfin caught today are what I call primos. Tunas range from 25 to 45lbs. They were biting best flylining with 40 lb test, 40lb flouro and Owner 3/0 hooks. Almost all of are wahoo caught today were on wahoo bombs or fly-lined baits after jig strikes.The best lures to troll with were Nomads and Marauders. (Nomad pictured below.)

Our weather was nothing short of fantastic! Flat calm seas with a light breeze. We are going to stay put today, Wish us luck. Here is a shot of Captain Mike and Terry W. with a breathtaking yellowfin tuna.

Good Morning Anglers,

Yesterday, we had so very good wahoo fishing with all onboard catching a few. (Need a yummy recipe for your wahoo? Click here for a delicious recipe.)  Best way to get a bite was a live bait and 40lb or casting a wahoo bomb lure. Weather is beautiful sunny skies and flat calm seas. Going to stay in this area for today. Wish us luck. Heres John L. with a nice one. ~Captain Shawn and Team Searcher
