On November 29, the day following a super day of tuna fishing at Alijos Rocks, skipper Tim Ekstrom wrote:

"Just short of a repeat of the previous day's action with the difference deserving the most significant mention being the complete lack of sharks, even late, as the day progressed into evening. Such changes never cease to amaze me and perfectly demonstrate the dynamics of ocean fishing. Out here, change, for better or worse, is the one thing we can be certain of, and in this instance, we are accordingly thankful for it.

Reports indicate incredible action on big, beautiful dorado continues to be found. As the guys working in that zone are now heading out, we are doing the opposite, making space at the rocks in the process."
