After convincing our clients to leave the dock really early today (2:30 AM) we headed out to troll the NW corner. We had our lines in the water well before 4:00 AM and by 6:00 AM we had hooked up three bluefins on artificial squid. All the action was on the eastern edge today. By 9:00 AM we hand five hookups and landed three all in the 60-100 lb range. We had a Large or Giant come up and take a look at our rigs but couldn’t get a bite. By 10:00 AM we were jigging for small bluefin that were frenzy feeding on balls of sand eels. All in all a great day on the water!
The Tuna fishing is off to an incredible start this year. This was our second Tuna trip of the season and we can’t believe how good the condition are already at what would typically be considered “early season”. We are totally jazzed about Tuna Fishing this year!
