Glad to get offshore with a fun crew for the seasons first. Early start and had lines in at the hole before sunrise. No early bite for us, but a beautiful sunrise/ocean. Porpoises fishing the early bite with us. After a very slow first 1.5 hrs a strike. Finally, a fish on and tuna time…actually a bonita, but no skunk and Coleman loves the high iron taste. Went 3 for 4 on the blackfin, largest 26. Last caught at 12 inshore of the hole in 190ft in a slick. Two liked homeade seawitches and one on a plug. Thanks to the crew for a great day back in the blue.
Looks like you did about par for the course. It is a bit early but sounds like a great day.Also looks like the mahi were down south. Sorry I missed it. I will be there with my wasabe next time.
Was capers fishing with you? Also, were you the ocean with the tender on front?
Swamp–i was lucky enough to go. Satelite TV and AC on the way in will spoil you quick. Thanks again Eric.
Swamp, that was us, we left the tender on in case Capers wanted to stay out for the afternoon bite. After his pinata gaff display showed he may pop the dinghy, he decided to stay on the mothership. Which bote was yours?
Boris, you and your wasabe jinx were sorely missed.

we watched one gaffing display, but weren’t going to comment on it. Was that the one where it looked like a cross between trying to wind up a chicken neck while crabbing and a drunken round of whack-a-mole??

Cry me a river–the fish ended up in da boat. Besides that gaff was defective and too long. I left my custom gaff at home in it’s special case next to my pool stick and lucky zebco rod & real.
Capers, Beer, Gaff, Tuna … Stand way back, or did he try to gaff the bonita?
coleman + bonita = conita
what does conita mean in spanish again? oh thats right…
