Good evening,
Very good yellowtail fishing this morning to finish the trip off–18-25lb fish.  Yoyos and sliding sinkers were the best methods today  We finished up around 10am  and started rolling up trying to get ahead of the weather. There’s a few dorado in the mix as well.

Good evening, 

Good yellowtail fishing on the beach this morning on 10-18# fish. We had a few drifts picking on the yo-yos and sliding sinkers. Fun fishing. We had some more tuna off the edge after lunch.  We’re anchored up at Asunción for dinner and headed up for more yellowtail tomorrow.

Good evening,
 
Nice day of fishing today.  There was a little sign of wahoo, and  we scratched at throughout the day, as well as on these beautiful grade of tuna. The conditions and water seem right.  One would think there should be some more wahoo moving in.  We ended the day with a go-round on grouper.
 
Moving up for yellows tomorrow.

Good evening,
We got down to the “13” at about 0500 and got the anchor down shortly after. It didn’t take long for the yellowfin to start biting the yoyo jigs in the dark.  They continued to bite as the sun came up.  It was pretty much as good as it gets on these 25-40l# fish.  Very fun morning!
We spent the rest of the day trolling around trying to find some wahoo.  We never saw or caught any.  We slid down to the 23 we’ll see if there’s any around tomorrow.

Good afternoon,

We put the brakes on last night and had a nice morning fishing yellowtail on the beach.  Nice grade and they were caught mostly yo-yo fishing. Theres a little variety as well this afternoon.  We’re headed for The Ridge now.

Good evening,

We started on the 13 this morning. This nice grade of tuna started biting the yo-yo jigs in the dark. Anglers that wanted some more came out and caught a few. When the sun came up they started biting the fly lined sardines. We tagged a few more and let some go.

We spent the rest of the morning trying to catch something different. We had one more hit with some pargo and a handfull of grouper. We’re rolling up the line fishing yellows tomorrow again on the beach.

Good afternoon, 

We’re calling it a trip here. We had a nice finisher with very good yellowtail fishing this morning on 18-25# fish. Yo-yo fly lined bait and sliding egg sinkers worked best on 40/50lb. Very good sign, very good fishing.

Good evening 

Nice afternoon today! We kept scratching away on wahoo throughout the day, and we had a couple good opportunities. We did have a hit on 25-40lb yellowfin as well. Pretty amazing fishing down here right now.

We are going to move up for some more tuna, a few more wahoo hopefully and see what else we can come up with tomorrow.

Good morning,

We slid down to the bottom of The Ridge last night. We’re on the 23 this morning. We are seeing a little bit of wahoo and some nice schools of tuna. We’ve scratched up a nice morning. Most of the fish have been coming on the wired bait leaders.

Good evening,  

We looked offshore all day after our yellowtail fishing this morning.  It paid off but not until the last couple hours of the day. We had excellent tuna fishing on 18-30lb fish, and they were biting in the corner. We had a couple more stops that we shut off, trying to save some tags for later.

On The Ridge tomorrow morning.
