"Early Bluefin," enthused Intrepid skipper Kevin Osbourne July 6. "We departed yesterday with our Bob Douglas/Baja Fish Gear group. Picked up a nice load of Sardine and started making our way south. After an in-depth fishing seminar and going over our game plan for this nine-day adventure we spent the rest of the afternoon rigging up tackle and catching up with our Friends. This morning we got on a spot of fish at 5:30 a.m. and boated our first Bluefin of the trip 15 minutes later. We then drifted along for a couple of handfuls of nice Tuna before they stopped biting.

A short move and we have been drifting now for another 45 minutes and are enjoying a mix bag of Bluefin and Yellowfin."
