Fish Report 1/21/25
Just Nuts? Yup! Got The Tuna Bug Bad Though..
And, equally so, have a couple tog trips coming too.. Just A Tuna Trip Here. Will announce tog soon. Promise!
So, ahh, Capt; What's the craziest trip you ever ran?
....Well, one time we had to break ice during January in 15 degrees air temps to get out; went bluefin tuna fishing in a canyon off Maryland where the surface water is still in the 50s..
Hasn't happened yet.
Going to.
Trolling for giant bluefin. Have intel from a local commercial fisher. Might even drop for golden tile.
Might.
Depart 2:30 am Thursday morning1/23/25. Return when we return. After dark-thirty most likely.
Bit chilly? Sure, but it's surprising how nice it can be in the deep with no wind & 50+ degree water though..
Crazy long run in my boat. Will start trolling in 40 fathoms or so. Will have extra propane and handwarmers aboard. BYO gloves/boots etc.
This is trolling - not chunking. First on the rod and following order will be pulled from our daily reef raffle tix - $20 to play because there will be no fish pool.
These fish fight unlike anything I've ever known. On my trips we've had full rounds of anglers fighting fish - even three rounds! An angler reels until they can't and then switch off to the next angler who is already in a shoulder harness/belt.
This way we keep a fresh angler cranking until a tuna is harpooned..
Six anglers sells out at $425.00 a man..
THIS is a trip where we might well pull the skunk's tail..
But if not?!?
Oyyyyy....
