Went on an offshore tuna trip yesterday with Fin and one his good friends. We managed 1 yellowfin, 60lb class, 1 dolphin, numerous gator bluefish, and 13 bluefin (C&R).

There were periods of hot action, and greater periods of inactivity as we troled for hours, and miles and miles. Lots of dead water for tuna, though most of the water we trolled was teeming with bluefish and sandeels.

The numbers he reported give no justice to the action we saw.

We really had to work for the fish. I have no doubt that if I wasn't with these 2 experienced old farts we would have had the same dismal reports that the majority of other boats had on Sat. (the "extreme" hot bite was on Fri, one day before we were there)







I'm posting this thread to put up a more detailed account of what we experienced, together with pics. I'll try to put it together little by little as I get a chance, with the pics being the last thing to be added. Please bear with me.
