We hailed one of the guys on themarlin and they were calling it3-4's. I would say it was 3-4's with an occasional 5-6. We saw some big waves once the sun came up!! Theres not many cc'su can take out there in that stuff and the Regulator did awesome

Was out at the Marlin rig Thursday morning and there was good yellowfin activityup to 8:30 am. Couldn't seem to catch any trolling (had one good bite) but they were schooling. Water was wasn't real pretty. Saw a couple of other boatscatch a few.

We left the marlin and went to the Petronius to fish at day break. We saw YFT skying and caught one on the troll with a stretch 25. Also caught a BFT right as the sun was coming up

We went all the way to Horn Mtn Fri night. Water looked good, weed-line right on the rig, but then the storms and wind started. By midnight it was 4-6, we were soaking wet, the wind was houling, and the storms just kept coming. We decided to call it a loss and attempt to make it home in the slop. Took about 6 hours, but we made it safe and sound. Glad to be dry and home in my comfy bed instead of getting rocked by the drink! There's always next time! BTW, Horn Mtn. had tons of flying fish around the rig, but no BFT. Water appeared to be blue, but can't be sure since it was at night.

What were yall in? We talked to a boat that was leaving the marlin headed to horn moutain as we were pulling up to the marlin around midnight

We were in my 31' Center Console. The only other boat we ran across was a monster tied off to the Petronis. Other than that, we just heard chatting on the radio. We saw 2 boats heading towards Horn Mtn as we turned North to head back. I feel bad for the guys that had to hang and tough that one out through the night!! It looks like it never really calmed down that much on Sat., so I feel like we made a good call to head back. It sucks to burn 250 gallons of fuel, but not getting your ass kicked for 28 hours straight makes that fuel bill a little easier to handle!
