My uncle hits that general area a lot and says the SBFT bite this year is absolutely dead. He's been avoiding the skunk by bringing a flat of butter fish all chunked up and tossing handfuls at high flyers to get the mahi fired up. Having fun with small ones on light tackle. He did get a really nice white marlin last week on a daisy chain style lure with a splasher bird in front and a skirted ballyhoo as the stinger. That was the first fish the made the 50W sing this year though. I guess its a good year if you like to tangle with the giants. The local guys I follow on social media seem to have a lot of trucks waiting at the dock, hoisting fish off the deck.
I'm headed out tomorrow to the popular spot to see if I cant get a bonito. Any tips? not looking for spots, just tactics. |

Sorry I killed the tuna thread. I guess I need to throw in an Elizabeth Warren comment to move the needle around here these days.

It is more a case of the lack of thunnus that is causing the crickets Mike. Bones/albies are the same tactics: light leader of 12-15# floro and a small epoxy or metal lure of 1/2-1 oz. they are addictive

That was brief and a bit exaggerated when it went by I am hearing.
There seems to be nothing going on south of NE, including the edge... Maybe they hung in NY/NJ for too long and scampered by.
Watch, this will be a year they blow through the blackfish grounds in November while we are all anchored up watching.... |

62" Tuna - SEC
Sun 9/16
Went to the general area I was targeting - SEC south in the 3-5 mile range offshore. Had sporadic tuna busting since sunrise along the 5-5.5 mile range. Couple miles south of Golf Ball decided to turnaround & work the 250-325' depth which was 3-5 miles offshore. Happy to share my son (with a little help from his Uncle & Dad) landed his first tuna.
We decided to drift a while and about 10 mins later a school of decent sized tuna started busting bait 50+ yds away but heading in our direction. We patiently waited and my son placed a great cast and was instantly tight. Fish was a mean bastard and we fought on spinning gear for ~1.5 hrs before we safely gaffed it.
Guppy - looks like we were in same general area, what type of boat were you on?

There's a general boat/hull cleaning page (Willie Hoven - seems to specialize in cleaning SH boats down south) on FB that has provided excellent insight. I even wet sanded my boat prior to season to remove many years of scratches in my navy blue hull. |
