I assume these fight like heck, true? I always thought tuna was trolling and that did not interest me, if this si plugging I am in. How long does the season last?
I would love to go on a charter for these, I need a break on the open water. If anyone is interested, please pm me......
JOhn has sold me...

Im just not big on the sitting and waiting while trolling, I like to plug.
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 |

Kevin .the new owner of Edwards Bait and Tackle in Newport , told me today that a guy came in and grabbed a bunch of pencil poppers and said he was getting the BFT on Point Jude tins and pencil poppers . Joe at Riverside Marine in Tiverton also showed me a 19 lb tuna pic caught with the small 1.5 oz. Point Jude Butterfish, which I was very happy to hear!  |

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...

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  |

Everything is working at the moment if you present it right; we got pictures the past few days of tuna with Point Jude tins as well as Beachmaster Atom Jr's in their mouths. They're definitely into topwaters right now though, to the point of ignoring metal at times. They'd demolish a Howdy almost the moment it touched the water.
The right guide definitely matters for these things though, it'll make the difference between getting lucky and catching one, or catching so many your arms hurt.
For reference, a lot of them have had larger bait in their bellies; half-beaks, squid, and other larger tough to identify stuff. Not sure if they're finding that bait inshore or what. Only a few have been full of peanut bunker. Think big with your offerings...

Federal Tuna License.
Don't know if anyone mentioned this but, according to Tom Meade in the Projo today, this is strickly a catch and release fishery unless you have a Federal Tuna License.
I don't imagine the Feds have the time or personnel to prosecute a few guys taking school fish but thought I'd mention this.

Piemma, that is correct, you do need a federal permit, there are 3 different catagories, commercial to sell, Charter-Head boat, & recreational. The Permit can be purchsed online for $22. There are also size catagories depending on which permits you posses and limits on catch and retain. All football tuna kept must measure at least 27 inches- 72 inches from the tip of the mouth, over the peck fin to the fork in the tail to keep. the quota's on the number of fish you can keep, change thruout the season and right now it is one fish per vessel for recreation, 1 for charter head boat and 2 over 72 inches for commercial I believe.
But I gotta tell ya when you see these fish out there it is an awesome site and a total adrenaline rush!!!! Yesterday we probably saw around 300 + tuna from 6 am to 3 pm. We had alot of shots at them but they can be finnicky at times but thats just the way fishing for these tunoids go. But you can't catch them if your not out there.

If that's what Tom said, then he is dead wrong. You need the federal license to even attempt to catch these fish. If you get caught casting into a school of them without a license you will get a hefty fine, |
