| Wound Up 2007 - May 3rd Fishing Report – “We’re off to a great start!” |
Okay, here we go! The official 2007 season is finally underway with the spring weather on the upswing, and if the first week is any indication of future results, we should be in for a good year! Our first efforts saw us fishing 8 out of 10 days starting April 21. This tactic of getting out on the water as much as possible has paid dividends, as we’ve been able to stay on top of the fish pretty well. The weather is just perfect at this time of year – sunny and comfortable conditions offshore.
We began the week with a solo scouting mission and found a bit of action with 5 Wahoo, 1 Yellowfin, and some valuable Intel. On Tuesday (22/4) the previous days scouting trip paid off as we ended the day with 1 Wahoo, 1 Mahi, and 13 yellowfin. Charles and Dave are currently looking for extra rations of wasabi! On Wednesday, we had Sean and Evan aboard and stuck to the program searching for the tunas. It was a bit slower, but we still managed to catch 5 nice sized ‘hoos and 2 Tuna’s, one of which was 66lbs.
The following day we fished a short day with Mike and caught another 5 Wahoo’s. Speaking of Wahoo, both
Capt Allen on
”DeMako” and
Capt Blake on
“Troubadour” have been doing pretty well on the edge with catches of 6 to 8 fish and it’s only a matter of time before we start to see double digit hauls and some nice large fish! We were back out on Friday with Quincy and Ricky and had a good spring day; 1 Wahoo, 7 yellowfin, and a mess of Ambers and Almaco Jacks. To make the day even more interesting, the Whales and Porpoises were out in full force. Between watching Whales breach, Quincy set his own personal best for Yellowfin and Wahoo, Sweet catch Quincy!
We finished the week with Robert and crew catching some nice tuna including a hot double of 55 and 49 pounds. Over the last couple days we had some productive trips with Ken’s first-ever offshore charter on Tuesday producing 7 yellowfin, a Blackfin, and a bunch of Ambers and Almaco Jacks. Yesterday (2/5) I was out with good buddy Sean Symonds and we struck gold again with 10 hefty Yellowfins and a 45lb Wahoo and arrived back in time for happy hour at Woody’s.
There you have it. The season officially started with great weather, great friends, and some decent fishing that was hard work at times, but we were nevertheless rewarded each day! As you can see, we have already had a busy start with the charters and the book is filling for May and June (Prime Time). Give me a call or drop an email and you can set aside some dates to get in on the action!!!!
See you out there!
