We ran a crew trip today for bluefin tuna. We start off looking for fish in the dark with jigs in hand but did not find anything worth stopping on until daybreak, at that point, we opted to troll finding quite a few meter marks, whales, and Bait. We ended up going 2 for 4 on hookups losing One Fish at the gaff that chewed through the leader. The Fish we have were nice ones including the two that were landed that tapped out around about 150 pounds each. I’m not running open load bluefin until we can get the nighttime jig fishing perfected. We will do Charters for bluefin. And if the albacore show up, we will be offering open load tuna trips for those guys.
We’re back out on the water starting Thursday for rockfish and ling cod.
