I'd love to
We are in the process of just trying to get into Tuna fishing. We've been out on other boats twice, but can't wait to bring one of our out for one! Unfortunatly we go out of Cape Cod so it would probably too far for us to head out with you, although this sounds like the perfect opportunity. If any of you guys are ever looking for and set of hands on any of these trips, myself and my freind who I fish with would be interested almost anytime!

Vic,
Maybe one day next week? I can't take any time off this week. We could go exploring?

Fiddler,
Not much other than bluefins being reported out on the edge. I did hear of the first longfin taken over the weekend and one or two yellows, but most of the guys were reporting being covered up by bluefins.

I went out to the AB Friday morning...nice 5' - 7' swells. Felt like I was on a carnival ride for 4 hours. I had one knock down but couldn't get to the rod in time, and she spit the hook. About 1 hour later I nailed a nice 12 pound bluefish.....so my first knock down might have been a bluefish hitting the jet head. Not sure.
I plan to hit the area between AB and MH some time this week if weather permits. Any reports from you fellas?

Cool! Nice job. How was the battle? Did you use lighter tackle or the big guns?
My juices are starting to flow.

Used light tackle. Actually used my livelining bass gear and some heavy spinng gear (Accurate Boss 665, Thunnus 1600) both rigged with tuf-line and flouro leaders. Headed back as soon as time allows. They'll be around for a couple weeks.

What is the deal with selling - any special permits required?
i would be hard pressed to keep a fish if it was worth that kinda money

Yes, you need a permit....I think in this thread MakoMike posted a link to the web site you need to go to buy a permit.....$26 I think it costs.

If you are going to sell your fish you also need a lot of safety equipment, including Cat I epirb, SOLAS liferaft and flares, survival suits, etc. All together probably cost more than you'll get for any one fish.
The website for permits is Http://www.nmfspermits.com |

Might make sense to team up with a USCG certified boat with all the extras when you go out fishing.....have them sell the fish for you, and bounce back a little something to them for their troubles....MM might make a little icing on the cake this summer....  |

There is 1 federal permit just to legally keep a tuna you caught!!! 1 school tuna allowed per day and 1 giant (73 in. and over) per year!
Selling is a whole different story!!!
Different permit, ALL the safety gear mentioned in another reply!!! |

Thanks Ron,
I knew about the pealegic (I know I probably spelled it wrong) species permit.
And I figured there was a much more paperwork to sell them.

There were some fish between the harbor of refuge and the north end of Block last wed. to fri. Not many boats on them either. I guess no one in the area expected them.

UNless the weather changes drastically before the weekend I wil be going out Saturday with school bluefin the primary target. I'm still debating where and will make my final decision based on weather and the latest reports. I'm consdiereing (in no particular order):
1) Block Island-Mud Hole area
2) Stellwagon Bank
3) Jeffries Ledge
Any thoughts on where the best action might be Saturday? Anyone interested in joining?
