Tomorrow can be a different story!!!

There has been an abundance of bait fishswimming around about 5-6" long!!!;) :cool:

Did you go after them? I'm assuming these would be in the 70lb range?

Maybe they'll still be there on Sunday!!

:) My friend that operates the whale watch boat said that he was seeing an abundance of football tuna from Cape Ann to P-town!!!!
Said he also stopped the boat so the people on board could watch them jumping around!!!

Haven't been fishing for them , to busy chartering for stripers!!!!

The fish I saw over the past couple nights seem to be "smallish", maybe around 30 pounds. A few bigger schools mixed in. I have yet to see any Giants.

What do you use for bait when trying to catch the footballs, jigs, plugs, :confused:

:) Talked to my buddy on the whale watch and they saw tuna about ten miles out on jefferies!!!

They were around my boat today about 11:30am just off the Groaner!!! The fellas that I was chartering today tried casting chunk baits towards them with no luck!!!

By the way ,we had 8 nice stripers and we have been dog free all week!!!
