Late 7/4 Tuna report

Moldy45 · 07-05-2007, 08:01 PM

We fished from my buddies c-dory the Dahlfin today and it was a kideny belt trip from the get go , decided since we made 8 knots on the way out to the 61 spot at about 15 out we deployed.at about 20 out and i dont have the numbers since i was the deckhand ,a clicker went off and i fought and lost that one. caught 2 doubles on handlines with mex flag feathers then one single. just ended up with 5 but nice grade fish.
the ocean started turning and not for the better so we trolled back a few miles then pulled the gear. I heard Fishitis talking to kismet but couldn't hear kismet so way to know how they were doing.
all in all we were happy to get the 5 since we were thinking of turning back on the way out but just toughed it out.
internet is sketchy here so i will post our reports as i can.
tight lines all!

Good job Moldy45! It was a rough day on the water. Good to see you caught some in so close.

Good job! Bruce.

Glad you got some fish. Didn't know you were out there, Fishitis had a vibration on the outboard, so he limped in empty handed last we heard.

Moldy45 - nice talking to you out there.
Retaliate - really appreciate the info you were providing out there.
We managed to pick up a couple on the way back in near the Banana. Figured out the problem, getting it fixed so that it won't happen again.
Sure love the Salty Dogs and the help they provide out there.

Thanks for the report. Glad to hear you found a few. They taste even better when you only have a couple.

I would like to thank fishitis again for taking me out on my first tuna trip on 7/4 and Duck master for the invite I had a blast even with the chop that was out there and after listening to the radio chater you salty dogs seem to be a great group of people. Hats off to you all.
