Slow Sunday on the calendar, but the fishing was phenominal!

Bruce and Karen Wilburn, along with friends Lucy, Charles and Linda were the only charter we had going out on Sunday. It was a little windy in the morning and Captain Javier was afraid he would have a hard time getting to where the fish were. Bruce and his group were not interested in a long battle with a monster Marlin (as there were reports of some Big Blues! over near the 95.) Instead, they wanted to focus on Tuna if they could find them.

Captain Javier, with safety in mind, said he would have to make a decision once we got out on the seas as to whether or not we could get offshore and hunt for the schools of Tuna.

The swells were out there, and they were big, but nothing dangerous. Bruce and his crew were game and they headed out in search. It was close to 30 miles before they found a nice sized school which provided action for the next two hours. In total the boat had 10 Yellowfin from 20-40lbs a piece, and even a little Dorado as well.

Bruce and his crew came back a little sore and a little wet, but they had heaps of fresh Yellowfin filets and that was the most important thing.

See you next year guys,
Ryan
