Myrtle Bee Tuna Run Update

Baja smoker · 06-18-2008, 07:07 PM

This is what we all have been waiting for since last october.
The fisrt TUNA runs of the season.
I have been waiting for a call from MB but no call yet. This is what the game plan is.
John Dylen and Brian crossed the bar at 5:00 pm headed south west of Hecita and and plan to set up and fish all night for Swordfish.
In the AM they plan to run south west to at least the 125.50 line, or farther and make a large loop to the north and troll back in.
As soon as I have a report I will post.
We were having problems with the sat phone and hopfully all

is well.
Big Pond is flat. Great day to run.

4 hours since the last update. They must be busy filling the fish boxes.

Na, Big John just wants to keep us in Suspense - probably just show us a dumpster full of remains and Dylan with a dirty soy/wasabbi soaked plate.

Or he's out of range. Global Star coverage only reaches out so far...

Hopefully they have made some improvements. It hasn't been reaching out so far for me as reaching out at all when you want to make/receive a call. It has been horrible at best for the last year and a half.

That almost funny. I just got off of the phone with them after you jogged my memory and they tell me that the new satellites will all be online and working by the middle of next year. She says its much better now. I haven't even tried to use my phone since last winter and could rarely even get on the system much less complete a call. I hope she's right but not holding my breath.
