Well we swung for the fence and came up a little short, but in no way were spirits dampened or the jubilant mood affected as we spent our final day working north in decent working weather. We did manage a few nice yellowfin tuna and a handful of dorado but had the distinct feeling, after the fact, that we passed through the most promising zone early in the day with no time to turn back and prospect. In general I believe there is very good potential for the upcoming weeks on both the offshore grounds as well as at all the islands. If things continue to develop as it appears, get ready for plenty more good fishing to come.

In closing for Jason Hammond's annual five day voyage, I have to comment that this group of anglers could give a clinic on how to enjoy yourself on a long range fishing voyage. Everywhere we went, whatever the quarry, these men focused on making a catch, enjoying the entire picture around them, and having a good time. From an individual angler?s perspective, this approach is the blueprint for a successful fishing trip every time. Thank you to Jason and all those who joined us on this voyage. We look forward to next year's trip that is certain to carry on the tradition.

Now we launch into the next five day adventure with our annual Michael Quezambra voyage departing tomorrow. Look for reports to continue as we return to the grounds in search of more good times and good fishing for another well respected, fantastic group of anglers.
