April 17, 2009. This trip was a ride down and ride back format. Captain Joe Crisi headed the Qualifier 105 directly for the Hurricane Bank, over 1000 miles to the south.
The Accurate Charter Host for this trip was Jack Nilsen with assistance from Bob Michener. Accurate provided Accurate reels matched to Calstar and Accurate rods
to target yellowfin tuna and wahoo. Accurate also provided many prizes for daily derby’s including several Accurate reels.
The fishing started at the Hurricane bank and resulted in very good success on wahoo and many nice yellowfin tuna. After four days of Hurricane fishing on anchor and trolling we headed for Clarion Island to fish the “buffer zone” outside of Clarion. We had good success on wahoo and yellowfin tuna in fairly tough weather conditions. The fish were there, but the weather made fishing tough and uncomfortable. Captain Joe made the decision the return to the Hurricane Bank and finish the trip there. We again had good success for typical Hurricane bank fishing on anchor and troll.
Accurate and the Qualifier 105 will schedule a similar trip in April of 2010. Contact the Qualifier 105 office for details. 619 223-2786.
