I thought I'd report back after my first tuna trip saturday. Left the Pamet and arrived at the Fishing Ledge just before sunup. No birds or signs of activity along the way or on the ledge. Trolled a squid chain and diving rapala for about 45 minutes without any sign of life.
Just as we were getting ready to head off, 2 small footballs surfaced next to the boat and disappeared, not to be seen again.
On the way to Stellwagen, came across a huge pod of porpoises that was pretty cool. No signs of any tuna, no birds, nothing, so hit the waters of PTown for bass.
Nice take of bass in the 36-38" range on jigs and live eels.
Saturday night hit the back beaches of Truro with eels both live and rigged, dannies, needles, and more. Not even a bump.... Beautiful night but no fish.
Overall a great trip as I put 2 good friends on to fish.
Maybe next year for tuna....
