Inshore bluefin tuna in the fall

[strikezone31]

They call them ghost fish because you see them briefly, get one or 2 shots, and then they are gone. Some have shown up here on the South shore, and a few guys are going nuts chasing them. I read this on another site, they finally got a nice one. Congrats to those guys!
I would be stoked for a week if I got one.



The report:
"Someone one the radio said "ill believe there are Bluefin off the beach when I see a report on Noreast otherwise Im not believing it"..well here you go. Went out Sunday in search of the Bluefin that was chattering across the radio, found them busting on top in 52 feet of water trolled over them with some spreader bars and ballyhoo when the deep, deep ballyhoo rod starts screaming. Fought the fish for over 2 hours on a small tuna setup, it was a very different fight due to the depth of the water much of the fight was up on the surface which was very cool to see, we finally got the fish boatside and were able to gaff it and put the beautiful 59 inch Bluefin in the boat, the Bluefin are moving through off the beaches, first the Threshers over the summer and now Bluefin in December. heres some pics...
