Well we couldn't blame it on the sharks today although they did make off with a few of the coveted yellowfin before we threw in the towel and headed for greener pastures. Chalk it up to bad timing because based on weather, current, water temperature, moon phase, water color, sign of bait, type of bait we were using, and most importantly, sign of fish, I should be writing a glowing report detailing the day's success. Our results once again demonstrate that often times there is simply no explanation, and no alternative other than to move on in search of a destination where our quarry has the right attitude.

In the end it was not a complete bust, in fact it was far from it with a fair score of forty to fifty pound YFT and a couple of bruiser yellowtail, but taking the timing of our trip, and the obvious trend into consideration, we had to move on to maintain our status and sanity. Big congratulations to Bob Newnam who landed a seventy one pound yellowtail on the flylined sardine fishing forty pound line. This catch of a lifetime really brightened up an otherwise slow afternoon and definitely made the whole day worth the effort. Now we are again in search mode and will report accordingly tomorrow.
