Just back to home last night from 1 week family vacation. This was our second trip to Puerto Rico. Kids loved hot weather there... good food, casino, short fly, and fishing that make me want to go back again.

Fished two days with Capt. Roberto. The first day, we fished on 28 contender center console, even we had 3~5 ft sea, it was really comfortable, only problem was the fish finder did not work. But the Capt was confident that he can find feeding tunas.. after 2 hours of searching, finally found them, top water fishing always make you excited.. birds were feeding, fish were jumping all over.. and we are the only boat fish them.. I wish they were bigger fish, most fish feeding on top were skip jacks,, black fin and yellow fin feeding under..

I used Takumi swim bait on Ghost hunter 150 popping rod with Stella 10000sw.. I wish I had 100 popping rod as the fish were too small. I have lost count how many black fins and yellow fins I got. we also tried jigging on drop offs but only got 1 Barracuda and few missed bytes!

Looks like you had a blast. I'd like to hit PR some time.
