TUNA

fish assassin · 03-04-2003, 12:31 PM

I figured if'n I put that word in the subject line that maybe somebody
would wake up on this board??? Been awfully quiet here the last few days!

You tease!

I like it!

Dynamite · 03-04-2003, 02:38 PM

I am going to look at a Tuna Boat tomorrow!

When will the Tuna be in?

OceanBlue · 03-04-2003, 02:40 PM

June 23 :grin:

Dynamite · 03-04-2003, 02:42 PM

When and where? I will be there!

OceanBlue · 03-04-2003, 02:52 PM

I see tuuuunaaaa... they're everywhere!

Hey Dynamite, you know the thing folks say to justify having a beer early in the day ("it's afternoon somewhere in the world right now")? Well, same for tuna! You want them in April? Go to San Diego! You want them in early June? Go to Morro Bay! Last year the commercial fleet was getting them 70 - 80 miles off Central Oregon in mid June. All we know is, there are some odd signs right now like blooming daffodils the 1st week of Feb, and a few early albacore of So Cal. Does this mean we'll see them in close here before July? We'll know "in the fullness of time" (and we hope so!). Just keep watching this

Terrafin

and be ready to go when it's 57 degrees inside of the 125 line.

(sung to the Little Richard tune)
Splish splash I was takin a bath
right about 124.5;
I was-a rollin and a trollin
movin and a groovin
tuna in the box still alive....

Only 4 months to go...will we still be sane?

OceanBlue · 03-04-2003, 09:22 PM

Mark Mc: What is sane? I think sane is anyone who knows and loves tuna fishing. Some people think I'm INsane... what's the difference? whether I'm sane or INsane... isn't that kind of redundant? :grin:

I'm betting on June that they'll be within reach. Whether the ocean will let us get 'em is a different story... so my theory (or rather gut) may go unrequited

Has anyone fished for Albies/Tuna out of San Diego? What did you do with them?

Yer funny Mark. You'll never guess what kind of fish is in the smoker right now.

id. painter · 03-14-2003, 09:31 AM

Thanks for the wake up. It caught my eye and now im chomping at the bit again.I had fallen into a late winter slumber (wishing for some springer fishin) Thanks for bringing me back to reality. id. p.

Oh, Man!! All of a sudden I'm *very* hungry!! We just ate the
last of our smoked tuna a couple of weeks ago. Now we're down so
suffering along on smoked salmon. Bummer for me, huh?? :grin: :grin:

Well, this fish was frozen since last August so let's wait & see what it tastes like. You might not want me for your buddy! That being said, I did put 1/2 bottle of Serendipity zinfandel in the brine to "compensate".

OceanBlue · 03-14-2003, 01:23 PM

I've gotta think that it will be better than the smoked tuna that I froze and pulled out during the holidays. It did NOT keep its original flavor

OceanBlue · 03-14-2003, 11:32 PM

Mark Mc? Oh... Maaaark... who's your buddy, huh?
