A certain SFC member just got in from one of his commercial outtings. As bycatch they got a 63'' BFT and one bigass thresher.

I'm sure he'll add more details when he gets back to a computer.

By the way.. There's 64 days till day one of OBMST..you should have gave that fish CPR, fed him a lil bit, and told him we'd be back for a visit in a couple months, I thought I knew you better than that!

After a good week long blow we finally made it back out to the gear south of the vineyard. After several sets of crab infested mayo we finally found a string with some fresh monkfish. While picking through the set the captain saw a nice soulette coming from the deep....TUNNNNAAAA. Being all avid rod and reel guys we go excited to find a fresh day old tuna entangled in the net. Continuing on the string the gear started coming hard thinking it was a change of the tide we battled bring something up from deep. Now another image appeared about 50 feet down looking like a basking shark. Low and behold it was MR BIGTALE. A beautiful fish in the 400-500lb range with a monster whip. Great seeing these fish this early that shoal. Water temp was hovering around 50 with a 48 degree edge 2 micros to the south. So get ready its only a matter of time before they (sharks and tuna) are here in steady numbers.

Thanks for the report codfishshark, glad to see they are starting to make the journy up. Keep us updated if possible, it would be appreciated.

Codfish gave A LOT of clues. I'll guess S of the SE corner of the dump, down by the E bound side of the shipping lanes (just below the 40'30). Did I win? Any other guesses?

How were the seas? This weather pattern is relentless.

Thanks for the report! Must go at once, to the Flemish Cap. All gassed up!
