All things considered, despite the fact that today was considerably slower, we finished our time at the island in fine style with a couple of handfuls of seventy to one hundred pound yellowfin for the effort. And take it from me it definitely was an effort as the grease calm, stagnant conditions had the fish in a lethargic state lazily rolling around while showing almost zero interest in our offerings.

Taking the cue, and avoiding a big pile up in the process, at day's end we headed out in search of off shore action, hoping to add some depth and variety to the voyage in the form of Dorado, yellowtail, and or albacore and bigeye. I know the bigeye part is a long shot but one can always dream.

In the meantime we are enjoying flat calm weather on the outside that is perfect for the mission we are undertaking. With a little luck, we will have good news from this zone tomorrow.
