Anglers: Pat Keenan, Darren Gilmor and Chris Hart.
We started out by traveling to the south point of the island aboard Ocean master 1 with Capt.Verde and 1st mate Rudy. The spread consisted of Offshore Specialties skirts in the riggers and and an Orange Rapala CD-26 on the left flat and a Firetiger Bonita on the right. 8:15 first fish was a nice 25 lb wahoo on the OS skirt followed by a 40 lb. Yellowfin Tuna that ate the other Offshore Specialties skirt at 8:20am. We worked the south edge of the reef working the schools of bait and flocks of Boobie birds and Sooty turns the frantic bite was almost immediate as the Rapala and Bonita were hammered as well as one of the OS skirts. We had our hands full as we worked our fish to the boat 3 for 3 on YF tuna weighing 55,56, and 65 lbs later on the scale. Lastly we lost one monster Wahoo that hit the OS skirt and smoked off 200-300 yards of tight drag before shaking off.
Lures used:
-Offshore specialties bullet heads with (1)orange and (1)green skirts.
-Rapala CD-26 Orange
-Yo-Zuri Bonita-Firetiger
