I guess now that you are the tuna master I'll grace your boat with my presence.

We gotta set upa trip.

Nice work Matt!

Definitely NOT a tuna master but I'm learning how to catch 'em. It was a foggy ride east and trolled the bars and what not around for awhile when the reel was screaming and after 15/20 minutes it was boated. The fish had a very nice initial run and then a few subsequent smaller runs. It was nice and round and definitely a good way to end a solid trip east. any time you can get out whether you catch or not is a great day in my book.

keeperreaper · 07-31-2006, 02:39 PM

I'm a newbie at this game. I dont know enough about it to help anyone yet. But there are fish to be caught out there. Time on the water I guess. I'm sure you'll catch one.

taJon · 07-31-2006, 07:37 PM

hopefully.

U tuna guys R pathetic.way worse then bass guys.I guess with the price of gas nobody wants to put the time/money in themselves.
At least i hope thats what it is.
Down here in NJ we gotta go 90 miles to hit the canyons.

it ain't 5min to the canyons from here either.

if people had a little more common sense and DIESELS they could afford more offshore trips.
