March 29, 2019

Another tough day with just a couple of bites. Terry Tom was lucky enough to get a bite and land this 265 that earned him an Accurate 600 Valiant. Little dabs of big fish most of the day that were very hard to trick into biting a bait. Very challenging but still nice to have some big fish to try for.

March 28, 2019

Tough again yesterday but had a pretty good show on jumbo tuna. Worked spots all day for no bites. At least there is something to try for and we have great weather
 

March 26, 2019

Jack Pot goes to Dan Kelly with this 152 pound tuna. Also with the money he wins an Accurate Valiant 600. Headed out tonight on another 4 day trip. Hoping we can get a few bites this next trip. Nice to see big fish jumping around ...But frustrating not being able to get a bite.

March 25, 2019

Tough fishing down here right now. Lots of coverage and finally started to see sign of fish yesterday. They don’t bite but picked off one decent tuna. Really tough so far, Hoping for a better day today!

Lots of action most of the day

A couple of big fish hooked this morning with one that was lost at color and Bruno with this beautiful fish. Conditions deteriorated throughout the day and what we did find would not bite at all.
