"Today was one of those days us as fisherman dream about," wrote Independence owner-skipper Mark Pisano July 24, "good fishing conditions in nice weather and biting fish all day long. We caught bluefin in the 18 to 35-pound range to our heart's content. Many times during the day you could look around the boat and would be hard pressed to find someone who did not have a fish on. So with close to limits on the bluefin we headed for some variety and color to add to our beautiful load of BF. Late today we also picked up some yellowfin tuna and Dorado on our way to the next stop. We plan on yellowtail fishing tomorrow. Thanks for checking in, Mark and the gang."
