On August 11 skipper Andy Cates posted: "We had a great first day that started at 8:00 in the morning and we drifted all day until 5:00. Fish were mixed up sizes from 15 pounds up to 50 pounds. Most fish were in that 25 to 35-pound range. We had another school late and had a little sundowner and took off for the Islands. We are going to try for yellows and bait tomorrow. We really went through the sardines today and need to catch some more bait."
