"As we are rolling down on our last springtime day and a half trip, we are gathering reports from our compadres down below. One guy has choppy weather 175 miles from home but is getting random jig strikes on albacore and has 11 fish straight lining for the yellowtail islands. Jeff on the Independence on an eight-day trip had another interesting report. He had absolutely wide open fishing on 35 to 50-pound tuna and nice grade yellows. He was excited, saying, ???if a person had some money and had some time he or she would absolutely be crazy out of your mind not to get down here'."
