January 7, 2012 Andy Gets A Big One!

Andy and his son fished a full day with me today.  The fishing had been pretty tough the last few days so we decided to troll south and look for signs of life.  For three hours we trolled without a bite.  I made a few calls to other charter boats in the area and they too were suffering thru the morning.  At about 12pm we spotted our first signs of life.  Spotted dolphins were pushing north and were followed by some nice yellowfin tuna.  Our first pass thru the pile showed several fish down deep so we deployed the greenstick in hopes of getting one to bite.  It took some time but we finally got one to exploded on the dangling squids.  Andy got in the chair and did quick work on his first ahi that weighed 119lbs!
