"Today we had very good fishing on nice yellowtail," wrote owner-skipper Mark Pisano aboard his Independence July 12. "The afternoon started slow but built through the evening hours to a wide-open bite on 18 to 30-pound fish with a 55-pounder topping the day. With our yellowtail fix in, we plan to try for tuna tomorrow. The weather is good with just a light breeze to keep it cool. Thanks for checking in and wish us luck."
