RaiderRon, I would like to meet up with that guy (fishinfreak) off of Chatham some time for some bluefin action...he sounds like he is really connected out there. Was he at the TFCTF night? I must have missed him.
GB, stay away from my fluking grounds!!! IT IS MY PERSONAL SPOT!!! NO ONE ELSE CAN FISH IT EXCEPT ME!!
Re: your dad, Last summer my 83 year old father-in-law was visiting and after a nice day fluking wanted to go bluefishing, well it was a perfect morning the next day and we ran further then I told my wife we were going and we got into a mixed bag of bluefin, bones, an albie and a few bluefish. The look on his face when the tuna hit was priceless. It was only about 28# but he had a ball with it. Grilled it up that night for dinner with a side of lobster, and he told me that this was the best day on the water and fishing he had ever seen as he wiped the wasabe off his cheek.... that meant the world to me considering we didn't hit it off originally when I stole is eldest daughter. All I can say is your dad will really appreciate the effort. Pick a nice day, take the time off and just do it.
(PS If you want to take your dad fluking, PM me for the numbers for the address of some doormats, it is not that far from your bassing grounds and you fish it in the daylight)
