"We will be in Cabo in the morning to drop the guys off and head up the line," wrote Andy Cates aboard Red Rooster III February 20. He said fishing was a scratch "...from daylight to dark, with each fish hooked counting big time for a successful day. We caught another 15 tuna and 18 wahoo yesterday. We got three nice-size fish with a 300-plus pounder and a couple over 200. Each day we scratched between 15 and 40 tuna, mostly decent-size fish with the bulk of the fish from 90 to 140 pounds. Not a lot of kite action, so the guys had to work at the sardine fishing in order to stay in the game throughout the day. The early morning showed production on the big baits but after daylight it was back to the sardine. A nice trip with quality fish and nice weather."
