Well it wasn't from a lack of fish, poor weather, perfect bait, or decent working conditions. In fact we had every condition one could hope for at the island but as any seasoned fisherman can tell you, that doesn't necessarily assure success. It was far from a total bust as we managed to pick and scratch a fair catch of quality yellowfin, but one can not help imagine what will be if the fish around here do decide to get with the program. Suffice to say we were taunted all day by what we saw but could not entice using every trick in the book. The one encouraging fact is that the fish are here. As such we plan to give it one more day hoping that they will have a change of heart tomorrow. At the very least we are far from suffering as the weather and scenery is as perfect as it can ever be.

Such is fishing, especially in the offshore zone. It looks like we have very good working weather to begin with so...... Read More
