With our day on the outside passing very similar to the prior, I am going to have to come up with some new material or risk sounding like a broken record. I suppose I could relate the tragic tale of charter master Larry Brown's fifty pound yellowfin being consumed by a voracious fifteen foot, Big Bertha Great White shark that was obviously queen of the sea in this district. Displaying zero fear of the boat and complete confidence in the gruesome task of shredding the unfortunate tuna, Big Bertha provided an up close and personal show for our horrified but thoroughly impressed anglers that were imprinted on their memory as a spectacular addition to the voyage. Even poor Mr. Brown, whose hard efforts yielded little more than the sacrificial lamb, enjoyed the show immensely declaring that he would gladly do it again if such an incredible show was guaranteed.

Fortunately, the impressive but counterproductive scene was repeated only once more as a little of that action goes a long way from my perspective. In the end, as so often seems to be the case, Mr. Brown's sacrifice was richly rewarded as he lapsed into "the zone" when the big fish action heated up later on landing three in a row from three different stops in the sixty to ninety five pound class.

And so passes another fine day at the island in ever improving weather that became downright balmy by day's end. The fishing was similar to the prior two day's although the bigger fish on the outside were definitely even more reluctant to bite for whatever reason. We find ourselves in a similar position as yesterday at day's end with little reason to alter our game plan as good fishing, good weather, and good times are plentiful right here. As the saying goes ?If it isn't broken, don't fix it". Taking this into account, we are satisfied to try our hand again here tomorrow.
