We started this morning in a shallow and had excellent fishing for tasty bottom fish. We then checked another area for minimal sign and joined the fleet in the local zone. Our weather was excellent and the guys had a good time today. The only thing lacking was the tuna. We will be in in the morning and Tim will be back out for 4 days.

We returned home this morning with a respectable catch of Bluefin and some excellent Rockfish to top it off. We had a few night time opportunities on Bluefin but they were in a weird funk making it hard to get a bite. Fortunately every opportunity we had we were able to capitalize. We spent our morning yesterday catching some beautiful reds and a few other assorted Rockfish as the Bluefin went MIA. The grade of the Bluefin was impressive with the average being 70-100#s with our biggest fish weighing 136#s! Huge thanks to Tony Garza and all of his generous sponsors for making this trip happen. We are back out tomorrow on another 3 day. Captain Sam Moore and the Intrepid Team

Good morning, We ran out to where we have been fishing the last few nights. We got there right at sundown and shut down on a good school. It went away and came back, and we hooked a couple and lost them both. After that we saw very little sign and the fish we did hook were very hard to hook. We didn’t get another bite until 530 a.m.. Very long night. The good news is we are seeing good sign right now so we’re hopeful for tonight and this afternoon. Captain Mike and the boys

We’ve had pretty nice weather overall, a bit chilly, but nice. We’ve also seen plenty of bluefin so far this trip. Unfortunately we’re not seeing them at bite time. Most of the schools just keep moving on and are not interested in playing. We will do what we always do and keep working at it. Photo today is a bricked up school on the meter.

The quality didn't disappoint. We wrapped up our 2 Day with 76 Bluefin up to 160lbs. We had ample opportunities at night. Suffered quite a few losses due to the average size of the fish. If you're on an upcoming trip be sure to come prepared.Â

New group, same mission. We arrived on scene at the western sector of things around Midnight. The guys are locked on loaded with the heavy guns and Knife jigs ready for war. A few very nice schools around, though, tough to get a bite. Bluefin being Bluefin. Nothing wide open, nice steady pick on 50 to 150 pounders.

Good morning, We saw some very nice schools last night and got a couple good opportunities at these bluefin in the dark. They were a grade bigger, mostly 80-150lbs. It was a very good sign. They didn’t bite as well as you would think, but we did string together a couple nice stops. We’re going to break off from this bluefin fishing for the morning and try our had on the Cortez Bank. Wish us luck!

The Independence had a decent shot at some nice day time Bluefin. Day time we recommend a 60 pound sinker rig and a 50 pound small jig ranging from 100-200g. Night time fishing has been the go to with jigs ranging from 300g-500g with 100 pound minimum with some fish almost 200 pounds in the mix. You don't want to be under gunned.

The Polaris Supreme has 57 bluefin on the boat to start off the second day of their two day trip. The fish are in the 70 to 120 pound range.

We had some pretty good action last night on 50-100+lb fish.  There were a few good schools to be had and we had a few opportunities.  The best opportunities were between 1am and 4am..  We’re not seeing a whole lot of sign right now, but we’ll see what happens today.

After 12 hours of searching, we are back on the main vein of fish. We spent the afternoon in a long plunker style bite, fishing the traditional style. A line and hook was all that was required for the afternoon delight. Fish stuck to us and put on a show, boiling around eating our chum. Now that we're back on the meat, it's time to put in work tonight with the lures.

Just when we thought we had these suckers(BFT) figured out, they once again proved us wrong. Darn! The fleet searched far and wide to find the volume that was in the area in the days past. No luck. We did manage to get a taste of the action with what's around.

The Bluefin have been making us work for it this season. There has been no shortage of fish in recent weeks, but getting them to bite has been a different story. That narrative changed for the better on this last 2 Day. We returned with limits of Bluefin for our group. The quality is excellent with a number of fish over the 100lb mark. We had several young anglers on the boat this last trip and boy did they get it done!

As good as it gets. Wrapped up our 2 Day with limits of Bluefin up to 100lbs.

Hey, guys! Good afternoon, Just wanted to call and check in, letting you guys know how we're doing. We left yesterday on a two-day trip, and we had a very successful fishing session last night. We caught 50 to 100-pound bluefin tuna. We managed to catch 64 fish from yesterday until this morning. The opportunities have been great, with plenty of nice schools of fish around.

We arrived on scene at around 11pm last night.  There were some good schools around, but we never really saw a really good one, just medium ones. We were able to scratch on bluefin until the sun came up. They are 25-90lb fish.  We’ll see what happens here today. Captain Mike and the boys

After a long night of battle, we focused today on keeping it light yet entertaining. Variety is the foundation of a successful “Long Range” trip. And variety we got. From surface iron eating Yellowtail, to Halibut, and even a quick stop at the grocery store for some fish taco meat. Delightful. As the weather remains to stay epic, we’ll check in tomorrow with more good times. I am sure.

We returned to the dock this morning with 92 Bluefin Tuna for our 3 Day. There was no shortage of Bluefin in the zone. The trick was finding the right school that wanted to bite. Most of our opportunities came in the evening on the jigs. The weather has been nice the last few trips and we are hoping things stay consistent here for a while. Back at it this morning on a 2 Day.

Hot start right out of the gates for Larry Brown and the gang. Ultra limited load of 13 savvy anglers wreaked destruction on nice grade Bluefin. Nice warm greeting with flyline bites as we arrived on scene. As soon as the sun went down, it was game on. Seek & destroy mission accomplished. We walked away bruised up and beat up, but victorious with everyone filling their quota. About as good as it gets! We'll see what today brings.

After some up and down fishing this past week, the guys are back on some biting fish. Captain Aliyar reported in from their 3 Day with 57 Bluefin Tuna on the boat. It's a mixed grade of fish with 20 in the 25-40lb and the rest in the 50-90lb class. The Bluefin were much more responsive, so let’s hope this is a sign of things to come.

A nice shot of daytime action plunking away at 50-70 pound bluefin on finesse tackle. Just the right group for this style fishing our thirteen guests enjoyed the daylight applying their live bait angling skills to the cause. Following the morning hit that lasted into early afternoon the bluefin around reverted back to their usual selves. Twitchy and tough to get on another twelve hours would pass before one came aboard. All in good spirits though. The weather is purely sublime. Photo today features Journeyman angler and charter master extraordinaire Larry Brown with a fine example of the bluefin  found today.
