Yesterday all the action was in the morning. After 2 PM the bite was over. The tuna were found under "birds". We would slide up on a school and try our luck. Sometimes no biters and sometimes as many as 8 going on a stop. We landed 11 yesterday most of the tuna are 125 to 160 lb. size. Today has improved as we had our best hit at 4 PM and we have 40 fish for the day. Most of the fish in the same size class as yesterday. Bob Cherry won an Accurate Boss 665 Reel for his big fish today. After an epic battle which included a skiff ride, Bob landed a tuna which we estimate to be 256 lbs. We have one more day fishing 6 miles outside the islands.
