Today we spent the first half of our “travel day” getting all rigged up for the fishing this trip. We started fishing in an area just after lunch and had steady action for everyone on both Yellowfin and Bluefin Tuna. Tomorrow we will be in a different area trying to Yellowtail.

Today we departed on the Let’s Talk HookUp 8 Day! We are traveling south and will get everyone set up for the fishing to come tomorrow. TEAM RP

It was a very good year for slot fish though...

Apart from it being peak season for pompano and flounder there's few limitations on what you can get after successfully.
