"Things looked very good early this morning," said the report from Independence August 19, "as you could look in any direction and see tuna blowing out on small flying fish, as well as the sardines we had to offer. We had a few anglers up, and everyone had one on, only to see the tuna evaporate before our eyes. We saw this same sign a few more times before we departed the rocks. With only eight or nine tuna for the day and some wahoo, we are moving to greener pastures I hope. We see this type of behavior all the time from tuna, and other fish, as they will just not bite what we have to offer. The weather continues to be on our side as well."
