Sounds like a great trip John. Is it true that when you hook a tuna it justs rolls on its side and floats to the top so you can reel it in???
Close, what they typically did was burn off 80 yards or so of 60 pound braid on a VS250 twice, make a few laps around the boat, rip another 60 yards sounding down to the bottom where they would lie on their side taking their own damn time coming back to the surface and to the boat. Then they would be docile until they saw the hull and peeled off another 40 or so in the final run...

I'm serious about the charter, there are a few 6hr slots open and it would be a good deal to split with someone else...
My wife is a tuna nut, loves to eat them so that will be the bargaining point for me
RIJimmy - I'm not one for trolling though I would for tuna, this was PLUGGING for tuna and it was awesome. These schooled tuna would come clear out of the water and you'd get one or two cracks at them before they went down. But when you hit one

I would highly recommend talking to Eric if you wanted to do it and get someone to go with you. These fish probably won't be here for long and sometime next week (even tomorrow, who knows) they could easily be up in Falmouth or Middleground... He has openings for Sunday and Monday that I am aware of...

Bernzy - I think I would have smoked 'em on a Howdy

Eric, thanks again! I promise I will fix your work PC soon
