Fished the 650 down to the point in the 69-70 degree blend. Looked good but the only bites & marks were from those little Bluefin/Blackfins ??
Made our way down to the stream to find pretty water in the 73-74 degree range but the tide was ripping just over 4 Knt's. Just before we crossed the line we picked up a nice gaffer Dolphin in the 72 degree stuff. Very cool for this time of the year.:thumbup:
We found our best action on about the 586 in 180 fathoms just over the hot side edge. We had 2 shots, the first was a 2 out of 4. One of them got chomped by a Hammerhead on the way in.:helpsmilie: Still got most of the meat. Then on the circle back we got one of those summertime Boscos on the center flat line right in the wash. Man how I live for those flat line screamers.:clap: It too recived some love from another Hammerhead but made it in the boat in one piece.
Not a lot of bites today but glad for the ones we found & with the Bosco & the others combined it was plenty of meat.
This is the snd season in a row that has seen tough Tuna fishing with only a hand full of days that lived up to OI standards. I think these things cycle & I am looking forward to a great 09 with acres of Yellowfin from Hatteras to Ocean city giving us all smiling faces & screaming drags!;-)
Thanks for all the great help & times out there guys. I sure am grateful to have so many great fisherman friends. Here's to a super 09. Merry Christmas & happy New Year to all.:clapping2:
See ya soon.
(Pino has a few Pics from back at the dock, it was too rough in the stream for action shots & the fog inshore was also a real treat):eek2:
