Good evening,

We started on the 13 this morning. This nice grade of tuna started biting the yo-yo jigs in the dark. Anglers that wanted some more came out and caught a few. When the sun came up they started biting the fly lined sardines. We tagged a few more and let some go.

We spent the rest of the morning trying to catch something different. We had one more hit with some pargo and a handfull of grouper. We’re rolling up the line fishing yellows tomorrow again on the beach.

Good afternoon, 

We’re calling it a trip here. We had a nice finisher with very good yellowtail fishing this morning on 18-25# fish. Yo-yo fly lined bait and sliding egg sinkers worked best on 40/50lb. Very good sign, very good fishing.

Good evening 

Nice afternoon today! We kept scratching away on wahoo throughout the day, and we had a couple good opportunities. We did have a hit on 25-40lb yellowfin as well. Pretty amazing fishing down here right now.

We are going to move up for some more tuna, a few more wahoo hopefully and see what else we can come up with tomorrow.

Good morning,

We slid down to the bottom of The Ridge last night. We’re on the 23 this morning. We are seeing a little bit of wahoo and some nice schools of tuna. We’ve scratched up a nice morning. Most of the fish have been coming on the wired bait leaders.

Good evening,  

We looked offshore all day after our yellowtail fishing this morning.  It paid off but not until the last couple hours of the day. We had excellent tuna fishing on 18-30lb fish, and they were biting in the corner. We had a couple more stops that we shut off, trying to save some tags for later.

On The Ridge tomorrow morning.

Good morning,

Very good yellowtail fishing this morning on our first stop of the day. They were biting any way you want and all you want. We left them biting.

We’re saving tags for later in the trip. And we are now on the hunt for something else.
