We departed on the afternoon of the twenty fourth for eight days of long range adventure with a fantastic group of anglers ready for action. With no reports from the lower zones for almost ten days now the decision was made to begin our fishing at the bottom end and work our way north as necessary. While traveling down yesterday, we covered plenty of excellent ground traditionally considered a likely zone for action at this time of year. As it turned out, we came up with nothing for our efforts, although we did see plenty of good conditions and loads of bait. If the bluefin and/or yellowfin do decide to show in the lower zone this season I suspect that we will see some incredible surface action as the fish get on bait balls. The only down side of the equation is that the weather continues to pose a challenge and the forecast for the next few days is looking less that favorable. Oh well. We have certainly made plenty of incredible catches despite the weather on past occasions. Look for our fishing reports to continue tomorrow as we will be arriving on the grounds this morning.
