Today we arose to good weather, but continued poor current conditions. Poor fishing on the anchor first thing this morning prompted us to raise anchor and go on the prowl for wahoo. It did not take too long to get a jig strike and land our first fish. We were able to pick at the fish for the next several hours before putting the anchor back down. Again, the fishing on the anchor proved to be almost non-existent. The tidal conditions here remain poor; we have been fighting that battle since our arrival. Sometime before lunch, we threw up our hands, pulled the anchor and pointed the bow towards the buffer zone with the hope of better things to come. The weather continues to be in our favor but with more cloud cover today, a welcome relief from the sun. The Bank needs a break and a change of tidal conditions; we hope to make our way back for fish ere long.

Wish us luck.

Thanks the crew of the Q
