BILLFISH: Water is not getting any cooler, weather was very hot as well starting on 95f with one day reaching the 105.

Next day “Tracy Ann” caught 20 yellow fin between 10/30 lbs and 2 dorados over 20 lbs for Mike Conger and son from Atlanta GA, the very next they, father and son took a trip on “Ruthless” and landed 21 more tunas and 1 more dorado to their count.
