"Yesterday (July 9) was pretty much a bust for us on the offshore scene," said the report from Excel. "Although we were in good water all day and could even see some tuna crashing around, we just couldn't buy a bite. Today (July 10) we found ourselves at the island with steady action on the yellows starting just after breakfast and they didn't slow down until the late afternoon. The grade is nice here with the fish averaging 18 pounds or so. Most of the fish were spotted up on the surface just cruising around. These guys had a great time. Our plan is to try to finish up our quota on yellows in the morning and start heading up the line to put ourselves in position to catch a tuna on the last day."
