"We arrived at The Rocks around two p.m. September 2," recalled the report from Intrepid, "and found it completely different than last week. There was very little sign of life, we did manage to land a few nice fish, although we hooked plenty, the sharks were very aggressive today. The nice schools of Dorado and Wahoo were absent from the area altogether. So after a tough and frustrating afternoon, along with tropical storm John working its way north, we took off for the beach at 7:00pm in hopes of better action and better weather."

The next day the boat reported, "After a rough night traveling we made it to our destination around 2:00 p.m. and were very happy to get the anchor down and get to fishing. We did troll up some small yellowfin which we released around the area along with some Tails. Our afternoon was slow, but rewarding with some nice grouper fishing, a few tails mixed in and Dorado. We will stay put tonight as the wind is backing off and the weather is getting better by the minute."
