Phyllis Ann 8/5 Bluefin.. Bloody Decks

[Hotrod]

Left the dock this morning @ 5:am. With Bucktail Bob.. and 2 new members of the BBC...  Kenny and Pauly. Was greeted to a semi confused head sea with 4-6 swells @ about 7 seconds... made for a pretty slow ride to the grounds trimmed down and getting about 17 Knots.. at best.

Arrived at the grounds to some slow pickins as the radio chatter was saying..

Moved around looking for life and marks for a couple hours.. with just a few bluefish..  as the day went on we locked onto a pretty good edge with life.. from there on.. it was Tuna Time!..

We went 6-7 for the day  with our keeper fish going 48 inches.  All other fish were released boat side.  Hi hook goes to bucktail Bob.  For his Superb Jigging skills.  You needed to work these jigs the way they were meant to be used...  or you were wasting your time..  Kenny picked it up well and also brought 2 fish boat side.  Everyone fought a fish today

left them biting @ 2;30 Pm..  made great time home in a nice following sea

Some good times with good people.. I have some great video.. but right now I'm too tired to even think about it

Bob's Fish..  10 minutes in...

Kenny With a Smaller Tuna,  He didn't know he was hooked, until he seen the boat,  then listen to the sound the line makes on the water. I cut it up and added it 3 Times.

[Hotrod]

Thanks Joe.  and thanks for the boat to boat bait delivery   Couldn't find bait last night, Capt. Joe was nice enough to pick some up for us..

Thanks Man

[Bucktail]

Just an awesome, amazing trip!  Great weather, a bunch of whales playing around the boat and some nice BFTs on the jig!  I had a great time, even though I came home a bloody mess!

The 150 gram pink/silver H4L Cyclone jig on my Star Plasma XH/Shimano Trinidad 40N with 65 lb Power Pro and 80 lb Shimano Wind-on leader was the ticket for me today.  A few fish were also taken on silver PBJ Stingos.

It was a pleasure fishing with Pauly ("up, down, up, down, up, down") and Chatty Kenny.

Carl, we missed you out there today.  

Thanks Capt. Joey G for the sardines.

Rod, did a terrific job of finding the fish today.  He worked extremely hard watching the sonar and piloting the boat.  He made sure we were on them today and really didn't have all that much time to wet a line himself today.

Thanks brother for the fantastic day!

And yes.  I did have a banana on board today.  (See pic 4)

great job guys.    

[Hotrod]

Yea.   I'm no pro.  Just a lot of learning from great captains like Capt Rick K and Capt Joe G.  Great guys that are willing to teach.    Spent some time the other night with Capt Rich going over rigging...  And the reason we only lost one fish.  We couldn't even lose a Bluefish.  I am very thankful  to those that have helped me learn this type of fishing.
