One guy pulled in a good looking size yellowtail from the first boil, but no tuna this morning. Fish report for today reports another bluefin tuna being caught this afternoon. For this Wed morning, the boat was less than half full. I think they can fit 75 anglers. The morning boat had 30. It was a nice morning.

How far out is that target zone? I dropped a pin on my iphone to mark the location, but it didn't stick for some reason, so I can't tell you the distance.

Best not to put the location in this thread anyway.

Hadn't thought about it. Gosh sounds dangerous... maybe I should spool up my marlin rig with 100# florescent mono and troll around with that?

This IS the report section. Right?

Ha! Sounds like a solid plan on how to get home...

Went Monday on the boat. Threw irons directly at crashing 25-40# YFT, along with the rest of the crew multiple times. Beautiful sight to see! Didn't bring anything home but YT. We were told that is extremely common lately. Good luck. I'll be looking forward to hearing your report.
