11-1-09 tuna on the bank

hotreels jr · 11-02-2009, 08:43 PM

Headed out sunday with Dad and Ron on our boat. Arrived to our first spot and saw nothing worth stopping for. Headed to the other spot and trolled around. Aftera few hours of aggrevating trolling through tuna, I put a white sluggo in the prop wash....Glad I did, because an hour later I see a boil underneather it, followed up by another fish inhaling the lure, 10 yards behind the boat! After a good first run, got it to the boat and put a gaff in its head. 68-69'' fish and fat. Dom is going to post some pictures!

November, slowly but surely becoming the new October for NE Bluefin!

They're still around. Congratulations on the nice fish. Hopefully there are a few more chances to get out this year.

Over???

I had em till Nov. 21 in 2008, then nobody wanted to chase em anymore.

Had 11 bites on Sunday, good early action in the slop. They are still there in numbers.
