The big boats are back in action, with angler Jon Cira bringing a big group for three days of fishing in late October.
On the first day back the Discoverer reports a Sailfish backed up with several Yellowfin Tunas.
Here was Jon’s email to us: “First day of fishing was awesome for both boats, lots a schooly tuna, sailfish and a big blue.”
Captain Alex sped through his annual maintenance so that he could get back to the blue water.
On September 21 the Harvester pulled double duty with angler Randy Trent in the morning and Luke Calvery in the afternoon.
