7/1 No Tuna Consolation

5 of us ventured out 8 miles yesterday in search of BFT or YFT. After making bait we headed out passing a guy gaffing a 6am YT, we did not even put a bait in the water until we were 6 miles out. We found some small paddies and had some porpoise roll through. Some fin back whales feeding, no love, fun effort and perfect conditions with light winds and cloud cover most of the time. I figured the YT would be waiting for us on the way in and luckily I was right :D Cool dolphin stampede in the middle of this BENDO. I was surprised this was only a 12 pounder, had some extra fight in it (or I was really fricken tired) right up to the gaff.

Nice attempt Andy! Better than getting skunked, that's for sure!

You guys are so crazy.
 

When are you going to try it again ?:paddleersmilie:

You guys will get them soon! Keep it up!

Thanks for the edit. I couldnt concentrate.

As long as those chovy balls are around the tuna will hang around. Still time.

Evidently you were one day early, if you were a procrastinator you would have got one today!

Shhhhh Jorge got one...Keep it a secret!!!!

a day too early?

UPDATE 8:55am - The New Seaforth didn't want to get left out of the action, so their morning half day trip has 9 bluefin and 1 yellowfin on the boat!

A birdie told me there were some bluefin boils and one landed near LJ kelp today

... Going to be a zoo out there tomorrow.

.......well actually we were not a day early we just over shot them by 5 miles, when we landed a reliable source had them jumping yesterday around 10 am and one was caught and landed from one of the ol school guys............such a crazy by catch. :luxhello: That one was supposed to be a YFT, the one I saw from today looked like a BFT......I am going back to targeting opah only.

As long as you don't invite me, you might
catch your intended target:)

Uuuuugggghhhhh yeah buddy

Looked like a lot of fun!!!
