Late October Tuna!!!??

Sea Jypzee · 10-14-2003, 12:50 PM

From the looks of things, there's potential tuna water within about 15 miles of Depoe Bay area as well. It just needs to lay down long enough to go find'em.

Good thing the TA meetings are starting because there are certainly some addicts on this site :grin: After viewing the whole Columbia River Bar breaking this weekend and watching Bouy 11 get submerged by 10' rollers, don't think it would be a good idea to venture too far off shore

for any reason. Hopefully things out of DB are a little less wild!
Be safe out there, yours are bigger than mine!

CATCH AND EAT · 10-14-2003, 01:47 PM

Better take Moses with you to part the seas after ya sink the boat. Hopefully it wont be to long of a walk.

Tuna is over, the memories still linger
the proof is still visable on my thumb and finger.(ouch)

Line burning runs into the deep abiss,
tuna jumping, clones thumping, the sight of Dahl porpoise.

Fall is here, there can be not a doubt,
we give up the tuna, our bottom lip sticks out.

Nine months of longing for the vast open seas,
It is enough to bring a tuna fisher to his knees.(her too for that matter right ocean blue)

Yet the tuna will be there again next year,
we all prepare and we stow our gear.

Miss B., Minaki, Cindy Lou, Pilar,
Mr.Fisherman, Sea Jypsee, Ugly green will go far.

Popeye, Skein and Keta too,
all will be back on the Ocean so Blue.

So if your name is not on this list,
Hold up your arms and clench your fist.

Nine months from now carnage will happen,
just be ready to say I..I Captain.

TUNA!!!!! TUNA!!! TUNA!!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

Wow, I need help. Can someone help me catch those pretty little yellow butterflies. I love butterflies.

It's soooo sad... :depressed: Look at what has happened here... we're all

Good thing we have eachother to lean on, huh?

:grin:

Miss B Haven · 10-14-2003, 02:46 PM

Bernie- now put it to a tune and we can all sing (or cry) it at the next TA mtg!

PS- I hate to tell ya but those yellow butterflies are gone for 9 months too! :depressed:

CATCH AND EAT · 10-14-2003, 02:46 PM

jen, you're right. pass the wasabi please. :depressed: And some hot lemon tea too. :depressed: better bring a hanky.....I'm gonna cry.

Sea Jypzee · 10-14-2003, 03:47 PM

I haven't given up on the possibility yet. I'm still holding out hope that we'll get yet one more chance to break out for a trip this year. Hmmmm, a Thanksgiving Tuna perhaps? :grin:

Marty · 10-14-2003, 03:52 PM

Mark......I know you are just saying "tuna, tuna, tuna" just to torment us and make us feel worse than we already do. Of course, what do I do but instantly click over to the stonewall bank bouy reports and low and behold........if I were there right NOW, it might work.

5 foot @ 8.5 seconds
1.6 wind wave
and howling from the east at 1.9 kts.
AND a water temp of 58.8 degrees

I can feel my mind starting to lapse into the no-tuna-coma, and the only thing that may help is a trip to Mexico for some Ahi (yellowfin).

CATCH AND EAT · 10-14-2003, 04:31 PM

I see I am not alone here.

Mark Mc · 10-14-2003, 04:34 PM

That's right Marty. Sure, it's October. And that means good weather will only come in short windows. But there is still a huge warm water body out there, connected to the south. Yes there are weather systems tracking through but the jet stream has not shifted down from Alaska yet so we're not getting the cold stuff that would put down the warm water for good.

It's not that I'm sooooo optomistic, I'm just not that good at writing these poems / blues songs about "ooh the tuna are gone and the winter will be so long; what on earth shall I do but cuddle up for 8 months with my cheap tequila and go to tunaholics meetings"...; it's easier to hope for one last trip, even if I have to drive south for a day to get it.

Pilar · 10-14-2003, 06:04 PM

De Nile ... a river in Africa.

Mark Mc · 10-14-2003, 06:19 PM

Pilar, next time we get together I'll have to tell you some stories about fantastic late fall fishing.

Reel Creel · 10-14-2003, 07:22 PM

lets go to mexico and drink good tequila, Jim Beam,and lots of good beer. Then go catch some yellow fin. get a good sun burn and eat to many beans.

:grin:

I HAVE A DREAM!

I have a box of colored jigs and they MUST BE FREE!

They shall all fish together side by side in Harmony,

The Cedar plug by the Feather Jig,

The purple and black by the Mean Joe Green,

The Stand up rods by the Hand Lines, TOGETHER!

I have a dream that there will be Tuna for ALL the jigs in the boat and that together we can work to make these dreams a reality...

Ask not what your jig can do for yer boat but what yer boat can do fer yer Tuna jig.

Lead us not into temptation by sketchy SSTs but DELIVER us to the dock with Tuna...

I see a day when there is A Tuna in EVERY POT...
A day whin the Jet Stream slows before turning and flattens seas and halts winds, if for only a day or two...

Because this is a great day in a great nation, let us not put off today what may not be available tomorrow, but let us work today to build the dream that is tomorrow, to feed the children, the poor, and the Tuna afflicted...

There WILL come a day when the Great Mother Ocean will offer us passage to make the dream a reality...

Success is when preperation meets opportunity... Opportunity happens....

I will be ready with PA days on the books and New 4 stroke keys in hand...

Can I get an AMEN!?

Thanks you...

Now to add a bit more Boat Jewlery so Sea Lion looks good out there...

Mark Mc · 10-14-2003, 11:15 PM

....if the weather would lay down for a few days. Temps look pretty darn good a little ways offshore, especially for the Coos Bay gang. Any crystal-ball weather predictions 10 days out?

Miss B Haven · 10-14-2003, 11:46 PM

Bad....changing to worse after really sucking! (just based on "the trend"). :depressed: [img]graemlins/berry.gif[/img]

Pilar · 10-14-2003, 11:51 PM

Mel .. aka .. bluebird of freaking Happiness.

It's gonna be a long winter :depressed:

Miss B Haven · 10-14-2003, 11:58 PM

THU AND FRI
S WIND 35 KT . COMBINED SEAS 18 FT. RAIN.

I can't even find a weekend to get Toni some Crabbies in the river! :depressed:

skein · 10-15-2003, 06:33 AM

AMEN! And AMEN!

That was beautiful, man, really beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. (Tears because you're laughing so hard still count, don't they?)

Ray, you are just flippin' out! I'm glad we're not alone. Safety (insanity) in numbers.

Mr. Fisherman · 03-08-2004, 09:31 PM

Hehe, yea Mark.

I am in serious need of some float time with a rod in my hand.

I hope things come together soon.

I think
I am down to my last case of Tuna :shocked:
