Thur. July 10, 2008:    Today we had a banner day of fishing for multiple species that kept the rods bent throughout the day. We started the day early this morning with a mixed catch of Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna. We then found an area of kelps holding lots of Dorado and Yellowtail with the occasional Yellowfin that kept us busy all day long. It goes to show that you never know what one day to the next will bring on a long range trip. After three days of slow fishing, we more than made up for it today. Tomorrow we will be closer to home fishing for Albacore. All of us at Intrepid Sportfishing would like to welcome 8lb. 12oz. Brady Casper to the world. Way to go Amber and Cameron. "The Intrepid Team"

Wed. July 9, 2008:    Today we had another slow day of fishing in every area we tried. The fish were there, they just didn't want to cooperate with us. We did manage to land some good size fish for our efforts and lost many others to the marine life. Tomorrow we will be offshore searching for more tuna. Wish us luck. "The Intrepid Team"

Tue. July 8, 2008:    Good evening Intrepid fish fans. Today we had a slow day of Yellowtail fishing that we broke up with some Halibut drifts for some quality Halibut to 41 lbs.

Hope for better conditions tomorrow. "The Intrepid Team"

Sat. June 21, 2008:    Good evening from the Intrepid. Our last day was spent looking for and finding some Bluefin that were up high and dry crashing around on baits, but did not want to bite for us. These were 40lb class fish that were moving quickly from spot to spot and we were not fortunate enough to hook any. We did manage to find more kelps holding Yellowtail and had some fun pulling on nice grade Yellows. The Intrepid will be back home tomorrow around 9:00am. "The Intrepid Team"

Fri. June 20, 2008:    Today we hunted and searched while finding more yellows on the kelps until we found the edge we were looking for . Once we found it we were able to catch our first Albacore of the year. The fish were good size Albies going 30lbs. We got into this area late in the day, so we are going to fish this tomorrow until its time to head for home.."Intrepid Team".

Thu. June 19th, 2008:    The fishing today was on the slow side with alot of run and gun style of chasing around the small spots of fish that were 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 Intrepid Team"

Wed. June 18, 2008:    Hello all... Yesterday we had good fishing all around. The catch included more quality Yellowtail along with White Seabass and more Black Seabass.
