Independence Sport Fishing Long Range 11-3 trip

[Fishing Report]

Fair start to the trip

11-03-2010 - Good evening, Today we started our fishing about mid day and fished until dark, for the day we ended with 48 yellowfin tuna up to about 65 pounds with most of the fish in the 25 to 35 pound range, we also landed 1 wahoo and some nice yellowtail to about 40 pounds. There were good signs of fish but a lack of current made the fish reluctant to bite our hooks, tomorrow we'll try a different venue and try to get on some wahoo. The weather is postcard perfect with flat and I mean flat seas and no wind with air temps in the 80's. Wish us luck, the Indy crew.

[Fishing Report]

11-08-2010 - We have had another good day at the big fish, Today 16 big ones hit the deck with the largest going 250 pounds. We did lose more today than the previous 2 days due to bent out hooks and just plain old pulled hooks. The weather is up a bit, but it was still very nice most of the day. Hot ticket was 100-pound Izorline for the top shot with the Avet 30 or 50 and seeker rod that is how our loaner gear is set up and in my opinion the way to go. Sardines were the choice bait but we also caught fish on green mackerel and squid with squid working well on the kite rig. Everyone on the trip caught at least one tuna better than 150 and we should have about 15 cows on-board. The weather has picked up so we are now headed north and will try our hand on the ridge for other species tomorrow. Everyone says hello and we miss all of our loved ones back home and will see you on Friday. Have a great day; we've had a great trip, Mark, Paul, Kyle, Billy, Doug, Lil Kyle, Ed and Tommy.

Holy Cow!!!

11-07-2010 - Hello everyone, I have to make this short and sweet as we are beat up and have much work to do for tomorrow's fishing. We had 26 tuna today that went 140 to 250 pounds, 5 of those are cows in the 209 to 250 range, the rest are in 140 to 195 class. The weather continues to be beautiful down here but the report is calling for it to pick up for the ride home. Sleep well my friends, we will. The Indy boys.

A Day For Trophies

11-06-2010 - Today we did some big game hunting and ended up having a great day on quality yellowfin tuna, we end up with 7 cows that taped out at 209, 213, 222, 234, 240, 242, 243. We also caught 8 more fish that went 140 to 180. Our weather was a key to the good fishing with another very flat calm day to work in. Tomorrow we will try this again, Today was a first for us on the Indy as 12 year old Luke Appel landed a 240 pound yellowfin tuna all by himself WOW!!!!. Have a great night, we will, The Indy guys, Mark, Paul, Kyle, Billy, Doug, Lil' Kyle, Ed and Tom.

Nice Weather

11-10-2010 - Hello again, Today we traveled up the Baja coast in nice sunny weather, we made a few stops along the way for not much fish, nonetheless we enjoyed the day on the water and had more great food put out by chefs Ed and Tommy. Tomorrow will be a travel day due to us fishing the southern coast for the entire trip. Thanks for checking in, The Indy boys.

Good Yellowtail Action

11-09-2010 - Today we fished the ridge and had good fishing on 18 to 30 pound yellowtail, the fly-lined mackerel worked best with the dropper loop and iron working a little as well. We also tagged some school size tuna and a few grouper to add some variety. The weather laid down and was nice sitting on the anchor as we did most of the day. Tomorrow will find us on the coast in search of some yellows or seabass; Wish us luck, the Indy crew.
