tuna commin sooner

Had to help a friend and could not go but will get out to crab mid week again. Sounds pretty good. Has the bite gone on beyond 7am or is it still early? I am torn between heading south to the dump or east to crab. South has a mix of yellows blues and mahi's but I think you stand a better shot at larger fish east.

I ran across a ton of small fish off of BI the other day but they were tiny and not worth my time. They were cute little guys.

I have not fished CC bay in years but my dad use to alot and he always told me that trolling was difficult in the bay but drifing live bluefish in a chum slick works pretty good for the big ones. A few years back I know he got one that went 875 once in the bay doing that.

(BTW, the bass bite has been pretty damn good nearly all summer here, the best I can recall in a long time both from shore and boat, pretty decent fish too, hope it holds thru the fall)

whell the bite for us has lasted till after 12:00 the last two times we've been east. and we've only left to beat the tide at the ramp or had plans to be back early.
bang a few early, then nothing for a while. time to move on. keep trolling for hours south. bang another one and circle the area, get two more. then nothing for an hour---> time to move on.

i've heard the "early" bite and don't believe it. there's fish there.. they'll eat.
not like we're slaying keepers all day but double digit 50# fish all morning suits me fine..

guys are getting giants in the bay too.

1 giant vs.15 footballs,,, tough call
