The Intrepid put it in high gear last night with a big score on very large Yellows!! We had an all night bite on
the big Yellows going from 40 lbs on up to 50 lbs plus. The fish started just after dinner and never let up. We had to leave them biting to head for home.
What a night!! We would like to give thanks to Barry and Chase Anderson and the Anderson charter for such a GREAT group of people and a very memorable trip.
Looking forward to next time. Later today in our travels we found some kelps that were holding small grade Yellows that made for some catch and release
action for the gang. Our bonus for the day was a double jig strike on nice grade Albacore in the 35 lb range. These fish were caught in 73.5 water and
were the only two Albies we caught today. Our ETA is 6:00 am tomorrow. "The Intrepid Team"

Wed. August 27, 2008:
The day started out with a great bite on Yellowtail. We also hooked a Sailfish on a jig, while we were
fishing Yellows. After a short fight the Sail tossed the jig high in the air while jumping only 10 feet off the side of the boat.
We then headed offshore in search of kelps, and kelps we found that were loaded with Dorado. Once we had all we wanted on the 10-25lb flats we continued
west and found some small grade Yellowfin to top off our day. Overall we had a very fun day here on the Intrepid. Tomorrow we will be out at the big island
trying for some of those bigger grade Tuna. "The Intrepid Team"

Today was a very special day here for us on the Intrepid. As far as the fishing goes, it was scratch fishing
until we got into the zone and caught some mixed Yellowfin and Albacore late in the day. We spotted a group of
killer whales and as we got closer to them they noticed a pod of bottle nosed dolphins going by. The chase was on. We witnessed a rare thing today as
we watched five killer whales chase down and attack the pod of dolphins. The whales separated a small group from the main body and circled them into a
tight school before the dominate male orca (bull) pounced onto them with a full breach right in front of the boat. We were then givin a 30 minute show
of the orcas teaching thier young how to corall thier prey and eventuly feed on them. To put things in perspective, we got to watch all of this less
than 100 feet off our bow!!! The videos and pictures that were taken will be impressive, but watching this live was AWSOME to say the least.

up and under the birds. When we did get a spot to stay with us the seals would take a large portion of what we had hooked up. Overall we managed to get everyone a
few fish for the day along with the donations made to the sea life. Tomorrow we will be looking offshore for some action of a different kind. Wish us luck... "The

Today was spent cranking on quality Yellowtail all day long. We had a great day of fishing with all techniques
working well. The fish were 25-40lb class Tails and were on the chew throughout the day.
We also caught and released an estimated 180lb Black Seabass, one of two hooked!! Many trophy sized Calico bass released as well..
We had so much fun today that everyone wants to do it again tomorrow. The weather is absolutely perfect and the fresh fish dinner prepared by Javier and
Hector topped off an already outstanding day. Check in tomorrow for more news. "The Intrepid Team"

Hello all, Today we had a great day watching the U.S. open and enjoying a smooth ride southbound. We did not find
much in the way of tuna fishing although we did find some fish that did not want to bite for us. Tomorrow we will be fishing along the Baja coast for
Yellowtail and whatever else wants to bend a rod. Stay tuned for more reports to follow. "The Intrepid Team".

Good evening everyone, we are underway on an eight day Seeker Rods trip along with a great group of guys and gals,
including the Seeker Pro Staff group. After picking up an excellent load of bait we enjoyed a tackle seminar followed by Joe Pfister handing out many
tackle items and a raffle drawing for a brand new Super Seeker fishing rod. We are on our way to the offshore waters in search of the elusive tuna. Wish
us luck and thanks for checking in with "The Intrepid Team."

Good evening to all our fans and passengers from the bridge of the Intrepid. We apologize for the lack of reports
throughout the week as our sat. phone was having some difficulties. We seem to have things back online and are ready for a great season! We want to thank
Western Outdoor news and Pat Mc Donell along with Avet reels for a fantastic trip and all of the gifts and nightly drawings.
Chefs Javier Quintanar and brother Hector provided us with first class gourmet food throughout the trip with a steak and crab final dinner that was
outstanding. The trip saw a catch of yellowtail up to 53 pounds to go along with some quality halibut to 32 pounds. On the way home we stopped and caught
some rock cod to add some color to the wells. All of us here on the Intrepid want to wish you a great fishing season and hope to see you soon aboard the Intrepid. ETA is 6:30 am.
Thanks again for a wonderfull trip "The Intrepid Team".

The Yellowtail fishing we had today was very good. With the exception of some rather
breezy conditions early today, all aboard had a very fun day. Chef Javier is preparing a special Yellowtail dinner tonight for
some tired and hungry anglers. With the sign and quality we had today we are going to do this again tomorrow. Report to follow.
