Today is interesting and unusual in that both reporting long rangers are fishing for inshore species: Intrepid in Panama, and Royal Polaris at Clipperton Atoll. At the atoll most of the fish seemed to be wahoo, jacks and leatherback or snowy grouper.

Off the coast of Panama, jacks and snapper are biting. Both the big boats are making use of skiffs to give anglers a shot at the exotics.

Independence left Wednesday on a 16-day trip into southern waters, heading for the Hurricane Bank and Clarion, presumably, and today the Excel is scheduled to depart on a similar trip, the annual Big Fish trip with Ralph Mikkelsen. Royal Star will head out on an eight-day adventure Saturday. Good luck to all!
