Independence Sportfishing 11-12

[Fishing Report]

Heading South

11-03-2011 - Hello Anglers, friends and family Just a short preview of things to come. We’re still heading down the coast, managed to pick up some yellowtail, yellowfin and a few dorado. You all are having stormy raining weather while we are sailing in calm flat water and sunny skies. In the next day or so we hope to have great fishing reports, Jesus, Paul and the Indy crew.

Good grade YFT's

11-05-2011 - Hello everyone, today we picked away at nice yellowfin all day long. Most of the fish were 90 to 170 pounds with 2 that were up around the 200 pound mark. We also had a few heartbreaks, but that just goes with the territory when you are fishing bigger tuna. The weather is nice but we did have about 10 to 14 knots of wind with a mild sea state to go with it. Tomorrow will be the same menu trying to hook and land these bigger yellowfin tuna. The water is 82 degrees with the air temps also in the 80's, very pleasant to be out on deck fishing. Check back in a day or two to see how things are going. The Indy Crew


The Cows are here

11-06-2011 - Captain Paul Strasser called in for an update on today’s fishing. Excellent fishing on yellowfin. We managed 30 YF for the trip so far and a few over 200, 13 on Sunday, lost about 8 brutes. Other Anglers managed to bring over the rail YF ranging in the category of 90-195. The tuna were definitely boiling around, but not in the biting mode. Tomorrow we are going to work our way back up the coast for Dorado and Yellowtail. It is noted that Jerry Watkins and Andy Rafkin each will be bringing home some cows. Check back again for further reports on the Indy. Any interest for anyone there are a few openings on our Dec 10 and Dec 26th departures. The Indy Crew

The Ridge

11-08-2011 - Well, we are headed back up the line stopping off first to fish the Ridge. Ending up today with an assortment of Yellowfin and Yellowtail. Passengers all had a good time yanking and cranking. The weather seems to be calming itself down so with good weather and good fishing today it was enjoyed by all. Check back for more reports later this week. The Indy Crew.
