After a couple of extra hours at the dock to assess the weather and allow a little extra time for things to settle down, the guys got off without a hitch, heading southeast towards the big fish proving grounds on the inside. With plenty of time on this fifteen day, the main focus will again be on trophy yellowfin that have shown no indication of vacating the "local banks" region. Look for Capt. Randy Toussaint's reports to commence tomorrow as they work their way down the coast in preparation for the fishing action slated to begin on Monday.

Also, I will be Sunday's featured guest on Let's Talk Hookup with Pete Gray and Rick Maxa looking forward to the opportunity to field calls and share some exciting new information with all their listeners. If you have the time don't miss the program with all the latest greatest on current events and what more is soon to come.
