I had a charter biff out on me for Wednesday because 6 am "was too early" so I made a couple calls and got a crew together and headed to the tuna grounds. Reports had been good so we had high hopes and weren't disappointed. The plan was to cast but the fish were hanging out down deep. We put out a 5 rod spread, w/ no outriggers, and it didn't take long. Something with teeth blew up on the long bait and cut us off. Prob a lil mako. We spent the rest of the morning trolling around and went 3 for 3 on medium bluefin from 54-60 inches. Victor and bill did a great job running the spread and we all got a fish to fight. Things went just about perfect. Pix when I get home later

And the release of 2 butterballs 😂😂😂😂🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽👍🏾

Oh, soon for me up here...we had a pretty decent day. Ended up with bluefish on sabikis, a spanish mackerel on the sabiki. Water temps way up on the North Shore are already 70 degrees.

Not a day like Paul's, but Shawno and I pretty much played catch and release with many odd visitors. Wish the fish taking the bait were a little bigger. Blues are invading the North Shore....lots of change this week.

The bite right now is pretty fatastic! Nice job guys

We have the old "rule of 15s" on my boat. I own the boat, pay the bills and drive. You can at least show up at the time we agree upon. If you are 15 minutes late I'M GONE AND NOT COMING BACK FOR YOU!!!!

Probably saw you guys out there. We went 2 for 3 and headed back in with the meat. you guys hit that fog on the way in?

Thanks for the great day Chris and great to finally meet Ross.
Seeing Paul again was just ok :-)

Go get um, Gup

Yes, was a great day, even if the fish did not cooperate. Not for lack of effort or miles put in by our captain. That ship floats on air!
Paul, have a great trip south.
Ray, we will await your reports for hardtails.

Uh, guys.... we have a couple of whales in our spread......

I was hoping we hooked one, I was first up! ;-)

I went south with O.D. Mike and another friend, couldn't hook up Charles but got some nice cod/BSB on the way in

I was out yesterday. It was a beautiful day. We caught a couple of cod on the way in but caught my first wahoo. It was about 5 feet and weighted 55#. Awesome fish😁

Nice job Teezer! Lets see the pics of the wahoo!
