I have no idea why I set an alarm, as I was up at 3 AM and jacked up to head west.
Reports were the fish were way out, so we headed around 55 miles west and started trolling. We got into a few, had our "practice stop" and then the troll bite died. Jim, our buddy who runs Epic Sportfishing, called us in on a HUGE school of bait with a bunch of hit and run tuna mixed in. We worked the school for hours, picking up ones and twos. The crew started to click and figured out live bait fishing. At the end of the day, we had one full box and were working on the other one. The fish were damn big, some of the biggest we have seen in a long time. Great crew, good fishing, and it was great to be back out there. Clark and I are at it again in the AM. Captain Mike

My wife and I fished with you last year and had a great time.. It was sad to hear about the battle to get the vibration fixed, and it's nice to hear that you finally won the battle! Good job finding some nice tuna - I'm sure that felt good after waiting so long! We are going to try again this coming weekend (skunked last time out there several weeks ago).
