By 11:00 a.m. all our troubles and worries were washed away. We had a morning that by any standard qualified as pure catching as the actual fishing part of the action was limited to a very brief periods between hookups. Yellowtail, a sprinkling of nice grade yellowfin tuna, and even a few rogue dorado were the prize and these anglers were fired up when opportunity knocked kicking into high gear and absolutely clobbering the frenzied gamesters until fully sated in the late morning. It was a very good morning of fishing - exactly what we needed to continue forth with our original voyage strategy.

Between fantastic, flat calm, balmy weather, beautiful island scenery, and incredible variety fishing that produced a regulation load of perfectly cared for RSW product for our anglers in short order we could not ask for a whole lot more. As we headed west for the outside island we even managed to mix in some more dorado and tuna action on a few kelps though there was considerable vetting of undesirables in the process. Regardless this day of fishing is recorded in the log as a complete success thanks again to the information passed along by one of our invaluable colleagues.

That's right, though I would love to relate some Magellan tale of how we broke trail and discovered the mother lode, it did not go down that way. This time, like so many others, we were guided to the main vein by the efforts of our working group; one vessel in particular. Of course it is our pleasure to return the favor, and we do our part contributing to the success of our group more often than not, but this time we were the recipients of great favor. What comes around goes around. Once again the unmistakable advantage of information sharing is presently chilling in our RSW tanks. Ultimately the real winners are the ones who matter - the anglers who invest so much effort in these adventures they wait for all year. We are ecstatic that as a result of our position we were able to deliver.

This day of glory is over however and the quest continues as the effort shifts to quality in the form of Guadalupe and offshore tuna. First off we will see what the big island has in store for us tomorrow hoping that it will be an up day when the caliber of the action overwhelms the appetite of the local denizens. Look for reports following with the details and enjoy today's action photos featuring Kerry, RD, Sparky, Andy, Tony, and the rest of the guys at the rail having a good time.
