Several of the boats fishing the lower banks are pointing the boat north as the trips come to a close for them.  The wind kicked up a bit, but the bite contiunes for the larger model tunas.  The Excel got into the zone yesterday, and is hoping for a good setup this morning.  Looking for a report from the boat later in the day today.  The Independence has been in the lower bank zone the past couple of days and has 30 fish over the 200# mark.  The Independence, Royal Polaris and the American Angler are all headed up the line, so we will be getting an idea how things are along the ridge and above.
