It was another down day in the big fish zone with fine weather and perfect conditions producing a much appreciated, beautiful day for looking, but very little sign of what we were looking for. The combination of the fish being down and very little coverage available has led to plenty of driving and looking over the past few days. As such, we are heading down to the lower region tonight with plans to spend at least a couple of days in anchor fishing mode providing conditions are agreeable. Presently, the tremendous amount of fishing time this trip boasts is very welcome as we still have three full days to dedicate to the big fish effort in whatever mode we choose. In this case we are far from giving up on the offshore pursuit, but are welcoming the opportunity to stop the boat get some lines over the side for an extended period of time.

For those of you on the upcoming eleven day, don't despair. Not only is there plenty of sign and excellent conditions in the entire lower banks region, but the ridge continues to be on fire with good signs of yellowfin, yellowtail, and dorado in several areas. As far as the big fish action is concerned, the whole ocean from Hurricane Bank to our location just seems to be in a funk right now. The one certain fact is that change is inevitable and in the present case, fortunately so.

In the meantime we are back in the game with good weather gracing the effort so we will see what tomorrow has in store for us.
