We returned this morning from another awesome 8-day trip. We successfully landed limits of yellowfin tuna and yellowtail. We also managed to reel in some nice bluefin tuna grouper and pargo. Special thanks to John Collins for sponsoring the trip and to an enthusiastic group of passengers who made every moment memorable.

After a successful first 8 day trip. We got turned around this morning and departed on our annual John Collins 8 day. We picked up a nice load of bait and are currently traveling south in beautiful weather. John started things off with a great raffle where people won rods reels lures gift certificates etc.

The fish were definitely in a more cooperative mood this evening. We were able to capitalize on that and put together a nice evening on mainly 100 to 150 pound fish with a few 40-50 pounders in the mix. TEAM RP

We saw some fish last night but it was tough to work with. We had a couple stops where we were able to scratch up some fish. We are hoping for more cooperative fish today and this evening.

Great way to start the first three day of the year! We managed several beautiful grade Bluefin Tuna. Most of the fish are eating heavy knife jigs and Eddie Bombs in the dark. We see plenty of fish around in the daytime but it’s tougher to get a bite.
