any tuna ?
 

did anyone get out for sbft this weekend north of the cape ? i am going to head out on monday and try agian and i was just wondering if anyone had any luck .

we were out yesterday{sat} out of the merrimac. not one tuna from isle of shoals down to thatchers island seen for us.cold north wind has them down. mon should be 90* and west wind so they should show up again.
last weekend they were all arround 1/2way hump.

Any Tuna?
 

We hit and lost a good one today; the other boat hit and landed 2. Both were small (25-30lbs). All were caught on deep divers, absolutely nothing on top. All near Thatcher's.

NADA off Bahstan today, went almost to the NW corner and back searching everywhere, crap load of blues inside....

Sweet day on the ocean just the same.

thanks for the responses , going to give it a shot seas permiting , only running an18 ' and the last trip out i got a little beat up . the plan on paper is to hit the s/w corner , worth a shot most likley my last chance for the season .

Today isn't looking good weatherwise.
I saw :eyes: nothing yesterday out to BUZM3

I'm going out tomorrow, you can bet if they are around and I can actually catch one............ I'LL BE POSTING IT !!!!!!!!!!!

we got three 40 pounders in the boat today. off tillies bank.
lost more than i care to mention..



funny lookin tuna though.
they had whiskers .....

bumpy ride out today. west wind was howlin.
saw a bunch of schools of tuna come close, ,,,but nuthing worth leaving the slick to chase after.
got two blue sharks 80# and 250# and lost two more. strolled accross a school of whale cod. the only ones we could pry off the botom were the 35-40 pounders. lost many more larger fish on the way up. thats what i get for jiggin cod with my striper rod :gf:

Nice job Mike!!!
:btu:

oops!!!

I ran 50 NM in a 32' Whaler with twin Verado's on Sundat AM (Sunrise). We went from Cohasset past the "H" off to Race Point and back to the "B" without seeing one fish jump. Nice 5-7 foot Swells....

A little birdie told me that they hooked up off of Fishing Ledge... on top...

Saw only a few SE of the BF today, not enough to get a good shot at them.

Insane action inside the harbor with bass and blues. buddy got a nice FAT 20 lber. We left this action in the morning and in the evening when we came back in it was still happening. Loads and loads of fish..... :jump:

Why did you leave it? :eek5:

For bigger and better things !!!!! :bounce: :eyes:

Guess who caught the big one !!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

I can guess who didn't! :rotf3:

That would be YOU Larry!!! :rotf3:

Ron where is yours? :eyes:

Last time I checked,
I'm in 2nd position in both bass & blue fish in the annual MABA derby,( boat division!)
By the way, hows that blue fish you weighed in holding up? :rotf3:

Ronnie your still holding 2nd in bass and blue (Boat) Larry's blue (caught on the KARAVI) dropped to third.

I got NUTIN !!!!!!!

fred = sea monkey

Thats strange, as far as I can remember, Fred is afraid of the water even though he owns a boat. ;) ;) :fishslap:

Thats why we call him the "dock monkey"

ohh he wasn't out there.
he was sitting in the cave with the tv on. he just responded when he heard me callin you.
says to me,,, "your not actually out in this crap are you"

Now, that makes sense..... :laugha:

out east ( way out east) Monday, 9/19/05. Desperate One and crew. "Captain" (?) Dave "Buzz Lightyear" LaPorte, Eric "Bewildered" Lafleur and me "Flaptail Bilgerat". 6 to 8's dodging a frieghter than a cruise ship coming north in the shipping lanes. Had six crash and miss in as many minutes and hung two later on. Seas died with the tide and went from tempest to flat as a pancake in a matter of hours. Caught some bass off of Chatham on the way in too. Bass were in the low teens to mid twenty pound and some bluefish as well. All colors of squids were looked at and the GM was king.

The little dot on the horizon behind Eric is a cruise ship.

nice pics!
we're comin your way this weekend with the trailer bote. we could pair up?


thats 80# mono to four foot bimini, the bimini is the first bump on the line about 2' down. and 15' of wire.
he's big!

40 minutes on him @25# drag.

Nice blue dog; definetly upper 2's low 3 range... they start gettin mean when the water drops in temp....

Was that the one I caught with ya or was that from monday?

thats the one from monday.didn't get any good pics of yours.

Fished CC Bay yesterday. Was oput of the canal before the sun even lightened the eastern sky and was on the spot with stars still visible to the west. Saw the space station zip by, that was cool. As the sun started to lighten the sky we set out the rigs and started to see SBFT'S popping all over the zone. Took out the trusty Loomis Spiining rod with 20lb fireline and whipped out a 2100 series creek chub popper on a bunch that was breakin' a hundred feet from the hull. Bam I am on. Fifteen minutes later the Gorram' fish finds a buoy and see ya later. Well ten minutes after that I spy another bunch and whip out the ol spinning rod again and second cast a fish in the 45 to 50 pound class engulfs my second Creek Chub ( the first still attached to a tuna's lips) Oh My Gawd!!!! Want to see line disappear from a reel? That's one way to see it go. We had lines out with rigs and the critter crossed the one deep rig we always run with a CD-18 Rapala on it and tied knots in the line around my Fireline. In the ensuing choas trying to get the cd-18 off of my line I lost tension and the barbless hook pulled. Oh well. I did get what I really wanted and that was to see a few of them attack my plug. Boy oh Boy was that the balls!!!!!! Weather we crappy as the southeast breeze came up and the fish got lockjaw. End of story. ( That is the second time this weekend that the wind killed a bite for me, I was on the beach somewhere on the lower Cape and had fish all over my Beachmaster Dannys. Several landed to 40 inches or so, not big but fun fish and poof the wind goes east hard and in an hour the mung is back in with weed and the fish are gone es't Vous!!!! It was pretty funny watching the other buggies go by while I would flip it into free spool and let the fish run until the trucks were way down and reel them in. I only saw one little bait fish pop out of the water as I was cruising the edge in my truck. Stopped and there was a herd there, unbelievable) :rotf3:

Good stuff Flap. Has your experience been that you must be there at first light to find them? Headed out of the Pamet this coming Sat, but it will be after a night on the beach so not sure we'll make first light....

Absolutely. The fish in the bay are "retarded" as my good friend Dave LaPorte would say. We can't get them to hit anything that we troll out east of Chatham. The Chatham fish will devour a Daisy chain of squid, a spreader bar or GM with birds out front if they are in the area. But these CCB fish, and there are a lot of them, will hit a popper at first light then get lock jaw. We have trolled all day there and only once we got crashed and that was by a giant who thankfully did not get the hook stuck on a 30lb class outfit. Looked like someone dropped a kingsize bed on the rig when he hit. I rather would fish East of Chatham. We were out there last week east of the shipping lanes and got crashed six times in as many minutes. Got to go southeast of there now but pick your day and you can lnad ten or more. CC Bay is my home waters but the runand gun gets old fast and I was lucky yesterday to have even hooked up. It is exciting I will give you that but give me the fish east of Chatham anyday.

:lasso: 3 for three today on the PEGASUS in cc bay

two on black bars.
and one on a sm. bird-gm. combination.




thats what 2,500 horsepower on a 58' ocean does to 4-6 footers :liquify:
