SW Banks on 8/26. Boats first Tuna

Ran out to with five friends, despite the weather. Left the SI boat ramp around 4:30 but didn’t get lines in until around 10:30. Spent some time dodging water spouts and t-storms. Once spread was out, first hoo was on in 3-4 minutes. The next few hours we caught 4 more hoos, 4 kings, a small shark and ended the day with all four lines going off at once. Ended up putting the boats first Tuna in the cooler. A few minutes later, the second tuna was in the cooler. It ended as fast as it started.
Would like to thank Brian, Lance, Daniel, Richard,and Erik for a coming down from the Charlotte area and for a great day on the water. You guys are welcome back anytime

Pics coming soon

6hrs.on the way out?[:0]

Matt nice going. Wish I could have been there for that one. Cant wait to see pics.

The 6 hour trip was weather related, not boat. There were several waterspouts right around us and we just took our time to make sure boat and crew were safe. I also improperly stated we were at the GT Hole. We were actually at the SW Banks. We planned to to to the GT Hole but weather diverted us. Sorry for the misinformation.

We had a blast on your A-Salt Weapon, despite the four down spouts, Matt! Thanks for keeping us safe and for finding the tuna, hoo & mack!

Misinformation is what this site is all about- at least when you tire of *****ing.
