Jonny, You guys have had a hell of a week, and like I said in another post- it was a pleasure fishing next to you guys (esp on Monday). Top notch crews on the Billfisher, Cerveza, Sea Wolfe, and the rest- info was readily shared, nobody cut in front of anyone or any of that stuff.

Congrats to everyone on the fishing this week.

Yup, Johnny hit it on the head. Tons of fish but not aggresive. Ended up going 1 for 2 on legit bites. Had about a dozen lazy's up in the spread, but again it was slow.... this was yesterday.

Hey sorry guys, got the days mixed up on that report. I recommend planning for fishing early next week once the storm passes. There might be some good tuna fishing - and hopefully, the White Bite sticks around.

Franky, Have you been circle hook only fishing??? I'm sure Josh on the DA SEA is having fun. (Lucky Bastard!) Catch Whitey for me!!

JonnyD · 09-04-2008, 10:38 AM

Yeah Franky, monday was one of those days you wait all year for. The fish were aggressive, and were coming in hard on flat lines and teasers, and getting a bite was no problem; which was really different from most of this season. It wasnt really crowded but even when we were all in the same area on fish on top, or circling birds, everyone was working together. It was great fishing, and our crew did an excellent job, so I couldn't be more happy. Hope they stick around for a little while longer.

Hey John, unfortuantely I think the weather looks bad for everyone. Right now it looks like the next two storms are headed are way and there is a thrid brewing. The second storm "IKE" is already a cat 4

Hey Dave, yes I am fishing circles. I went exclusivle circles somewhere around july 4th (with the exception of WWWB Tuna fishing, and even then we are towing some circles).

Jon - Great going on a super week of fishing. I know i'm in the right spot when pull up next to you and Butch. Let's hope we get a couple more cracks at those fish soon.

From a report I got sounds like they bit again today - lets keep the fingers crossed about a quick blow that doesn't ruin it.
