Good morning,

Beautiful weather here again this morning and we were greated with some biting fish.  We have had a couple good shots at these wahoo this morning and scraped up a few in between.  We are catching some of these 15-25lb tuna in our wahoo stops as well as some dorado.  We’re trying to get everyone a wahoo here before we take off and start rolling up.

Good afternoon,

We managed to get everyone a wahoo here this afternoon, so we are pumped! That’s one of our goals when we run down here 500 miles. The last few we got were so great big ones too, real trophies. We’re rolling up to try catch some bigger yellowtail tomorrow to finish our trip off.

Good morning,

We camped out last night in hopes we could strike up some wahoo today, but that didn’t happen. We had one strike first thing in the morning and then drove around for hours trying to catch some more and never did.  We have scratched a few more drifting and on the anchor throughout the morning.

This tuna fishing remains excellent and is still very available. We are on a different program here now since anglers got what they wanted. We’re throwing back 18-20# tuna at the moment. We’ll see if these wahoo want to cooperate a little better this afternoon.

Good evening,

We scraped up a couple more wahoo this afternoon and some dorado to go along with it.  It’s a fair sign, but they just don’t seem to be in the right mode.  This tuna is pretty available as well but we aren’t keeping it anymore.  Beautiful weather here this evening.

Good morning,

We’ve had some good action this morning on 12-40# yellowfin down here on The Ridge. We idled south all night and got here right at sunrise. We looked around for about a hour, then put the anchor down and went right to work.  They’ve since backed off, but we pick one off every now and then.  It’s very choppy at the moment so we have not done much trolling for wahoo yet.

Good evening,

Our weather did not cooperate at any point today, though we managed to keep picking away at these tuna all day for the anglers that wanted them.  We caught one wahoo on the anchor today too so we’re hoping we get a shot tomorrow to drive around and strike them up.

Good morning,

We put the brakes on last night due to high traffic today down on The Ridge.  It seems to have paid off. We’re picking away at the yellowtail here this morning.  Good yoyo and dropper loop fishing. The fish are 10-18#. Long drift, plunker-style with flurries.

Good evening,

The action on the yellowtail continued throughout the day all the way up until dark. Everyone is pretty stoked on how the day went with lots of rail time and lots of bites. Dropper loop and yoyo was best today.

We’ll be on The Ridge in the morning.

Hello anglers:

The tuna fishing continues to be good and everyone now has plenty. The weather has changed significantly with more wind, so we’ll be watching where we go from here.

We were able to troll around this morning and had some wahoo action. We are hoping to try again after lunch.
