Tuna fishing has been fair to good lately. We didn't fish on Tuesday or Wednesday but over the weekend we caught around 7 fish a day-maybe one day we only had 4. Some days it was yellowfins and other days it was bigeyes. We will be fishing again tomorrow and don't have an open day until June 9th. I'll let you know how we do.
Wow-we had a great day yesterday-5 bigeyes all weighing over 100 pounds and 4 or 5 yellowfins plus a couple of gaffers-the fish box was full! Also, finally it was calm-I hope today is just like yesterday-got to go.
It was nice when we left the dock yesterday morning but 15 minutes after we put lines in the wind really started to blow. It got rough quick but we managed to catch 7 yellowfins a one gaffer dolphin. The yellowfins were really nice-up to 70 pounds. We called it a day early and headed on in.
We finally went out last Thursday and Friday and caught a few tuna. It was pretty slow fishing but it was good to be back out. We got blown out on Saturday but made it back out on Sunday-much better fishing for us. We caught about 40 gaffers-a lot of them 20 to 25 pounds. The fish box was full and we headed on in. We're off today (Monday) but booked for the rest of the week.
Wow, we're finally up and running again-it's hard to believe. We ran her yesterday and cruised at almost 26 knots and topped out at 31 knots. At cruising speed we were only burning about 38 gallons per hour so I'm real please with that. I brought her back to the slip today for the first time since February 12-it feels good to be back home! Give me a call if you want to go fishing-I'm ready to get back out there. Unfortunately, it looks like it's really going to blow for the next few days so I probably won't make it out until about Wednesday.
