All these reports of long fins enticed me to end a 12 year hiatus and try an inshore tuna trip. Glass calm, always an issue, and very slow. Fished from the mid eastern side of the dump S to the top of the shipping lane, then east. Not much showing other than tiny skipjacks(?). Took some small mahi from under a pallet. No chances at tuna or wahoo. Radio chatter didn't sound overly active either. Beautiful boat ride nevertheless. Did see acres of halfbeaks being ripped apart by large bluefish a few miles S of Nomans. Years ago there would have been bluefin on those. Anybody else do anything?
