Wednesday on the bank....

Headed out Wednesday very early. An epic day although my no fish streak continued. Saw big tuna feeding on the surface which was amazing. We couldn't get close enough to get a good cast in. Any tips on this problem?

If you change the idle on your boat tuna seem to stop what they are doing and sound/leave, if you keep the engine running at a similar rpm they usually keep doing their thing. I am sure they most likley know your boat because you have caught all their brothers and sisters already

I wish this were the case! I haven't caught one in 12 years and the one I caught was about 60lb. Some day I will get lucky. Not being able to get one was discouraging. Tried casting, live baits, and trolling.
