My wife and I headed out about 8 am for our 41st anniversary tuna trip (yea, she’s a catch). We followed advice and headed towards 44°45 by 125°12 about 60 miles out. We hit 59°water at 35 miles but the water didn’t look good. We saw some jumpers at 45 miles and caught one quick but then nothing for 45 minutes. We picked up and moved out to 44°47 x 125°4.8 where we saw feeders. Instantly had two doubles before we could get rods 3 and 4 out. Landed 7 and lost a few in about 15 minutes. That’s all we needed so we packed them up and headed in.They hit cedar, clones and iron. Hard to leave when they’re hitting like that, but we’re not feeding an army.

Fished around 44.40 / 125.14 . Steady scratch, Lost the first 5 at the back of the boat, bite turned on around 2:30 for us. Came home with 16. All averaging 23 lbs. Only running 4 lines with 6' Zucchini Cedar Plugs

Headed out of Newport tomorrow. Any recent intel, the cloud cover hasn't helped with satellite data.

We fished the front leg of the pig for 18 fish of very good grade. Excellent troll bite from 9:30-12:30. Black and purple was hot, all kinds of cedar plugs, and small black and orange clone. They liked it further from the boat, not closer.

64 degree blue water

I over ran them when I went to 42/ 52 for 18 , the boats 7 miles inside of me did better and big fish . The water change is easy to see and around the saddle I bet.

Terrafin has route planning tools. I use the distance calculator. Set home port as your origin and the distance to any point your cursor is on shows at the bottom of the displayed graphic.

Good lessen in fixing things when you know they’re broke.

Thanks all. We will head nw towards 50 / 50. Will call out what we find. Not looking for big numbers, but hoping for a fun day with the boys.

I like them, really rounded out our albacore situation in the boat. Not very resistant to gaff punctures. We fit 5 in each I think? Could probably fit seven 15 pounders with better ice management. We had too much ice in bottom of the bags.

I told you I had a new trailer coming, but that was because of the cross members. I didn't know there was anything wrong with the wheel until it fell off. It was well greased?

 

[Roggie57]

And of course the new trailer finally showed up the day after it happened

Big Hawgs still on the Pig.

Fished west side of Pig on a big rip and the fish are still cooperating!

No big bites, but consistant singles in the XX-Large size!
