Long slow day of prospecting for one wahoo, a couple dorado, and 30 small tuna with the exception of two in the 60-80lb range. We are traveling up to top off our bait tonight and plan on starting on the lower end of the ridge tomorrow. It looks like the water has warmed back up a bit up there so hopefully we'll get a shot at some wahoo tomorrow. Our weather is beautiful.

P.S. Chad wanted to thank his new bride Jordan for giving him the most amazing "wedding gift" a guy could ask for. He's got some tuna over 70#s and landed an 85#er today to go along with some of Jordan's favorite fish: Dorado!

Being the first stop of the trip on this size fish, casualties were high with 5 out of 12 hookups hitting the deck. Hopefully this area is just starting to...... Read More
