Finally the weather in Kona settled down a notch. For the past few weeks our wind pattern has been out of the NE and its been making for rough fishing conditions. The wind switched to a more easterly direction today and we were able to get up to an area called the grounds. The bite started early today, while Tracy was giving the run down to our 5 doctors a nice fish dozered in behind the long rigger bait.After a few good attempts we finally got the fish stuck. 20 minutes later, we tagged and released our first marlin of the day. The bites kept coming, just not for us. A friend of ours had nine blue bites today only catching one of them. A few other boats had a handful of shots with at least half a dozen big fish seen. Our next bite didn’t come till 2 in the afternoon, when we hooked another decent sized blue on our long corner. This fish gave us a nice show at the boat and I was able to get a few jump shots on film. After a quick fight we released our second blue of the day. With a few guys feeling sea sick we made our way towards home, but not before missing one last blue that gave us a few tries before swimming off.
