We finished off our time at the island with steady morning action on the big yellowtail and quality yellowfin tuna with today's grade of tuna 30 - 40#'s on the smaller end and 60 - 90 at the top of the average. The best of the action was over by eleven a.m. but different than yesterday we were able to scratch away at the bigger yellowfin through about one thirty p.m. before things shut down.

After the morning and early afternoon the whole place took a dive despite relatively good conditions and plenty of life around. Despite the almost complete shutdown in production a good time was had by all throughout the afternoon as we enjoyed the epic calm conditions in the island lee and picked off an occasional big yellowtail from a variety of anchor positions.

With two good days of fishing on quality yellowfin tuna and yellowtail under our belts, we took off after dark heading back to the offshore grounds seeking to finish up on a high note. Less than ideal weather is forecast to grace the effort but it is plenty good enough and there is a wide swath of ocean that holds good potential for both tuna and big albacore. We have just about the entire day tomorrow to prospect so time will tell if our good fortune continues.
