"We got off to a great start for the trip," noted Independence skipper Jeff DeBuys September 12, "as we stopped late in the afternoon yesterday for some premium yellowtail. Today things started off right at daylight, with dorado, tuna, and yellowtail biting until dark. Great fishing doesn't begin to describe our day today. We are in travel mode right now off to another area for tomorrow. The weather is even better than the fishing, as it is hot and sunny, flat calm."
