Well, the report....

Yesterday was one of those frustrating days of tuna fishing; a long grind, no jumpers to spot, no bird action, no kelp/debris to work.

We'd troll swimbaits until a rod would go off, drop more sb's on the slide, toss chum. then wait...and wait... and.... then take back off on troll hoping to find a large group of fish.

Picked off rogue singles and pairs most of the day. Picked up one quad. There was just nothing we could turn into a good stop/chum/stationary boat show. Any piscatard can troll something behind a boat and pull on fish. That wasn't my intent for a 'fly caught' tuna. So, the rod stayed safely in the cabin.

We were in 63.3* semi-blue water 8 miles out, hit the first fish at 12. Stayed close enough to shore to keep the gas bill very respecable. Ended the day with 27 fish, with a doz or so break offs, hook pulls, crackers...

Stay tuned for trip #2
