I had a nice conversation with Capt. Bob Blanchard of Edgartown Marine Outfitters on sunday. Nice guy who really seems to know his stuff when it comes to tuna. He said that the reason why the yellow and bluefin tuna are not in on the shelf yet is because the type of bait they need is not here yet. The water at the fingers was loaded with bait but apparently not the right kind. The time and water temp. are right however. I was in 71 degree water that had transitioned from 67 degree water in about a mile, but no sign of tuna.
I have another trip planned second week of August out of Block Island. I'll probably hit the Cox Ledge area. Anyone have any experience with yellowfin in that area in August?
BW,
How would you rate a longfin as table fare, compared to say a yellow or blue?
