BigEye Lures

[SaltyDog]

Most of the row is heading out Brian. All 5 boats. Should be a great forecast and hopefully we all do well. Awaiting a satellite shot friday night to get a game plan...Rippy was walking circles around the boat today he was so excited.

Skipjack is up and running; fueled and ready to go tomorrow at 8. A lot of credit to the team at Macdougalls who turned a Monday 8 AM crisis into a pretty fast and successful Wed AM repair and test run. Fishing Friday after a Sunday disaster is a heck of a service effort.

Brian - I always can identify those 100 yard back fish by the thread I post on. Too bad it turned into a rat yellowfin when it came to the boat.


This is the big eye fisherman bite thread and the big eye fisherman bite vendors are cleaning up.

I keep waiting for the V shaped water rake or the Juicy Tomato bar to make an appearance

Here's a question.....How come you never hear of anyone catching a BigEye Tuna under say 100 lbs.?? Do the smaller one's exist, and if so where the F do they hang out?

I can recall 3 "different" yellowfin of which I have 1 picture from 2003

These were taken in 70 or 80 fathom in ~ 73-4 degree blue water in late August. The top one is a yellowfin; what is the bottom one?

Bluefin or bigeye?

A friend of mine who was/is native to the Azores said they get some smaller ones AND some monsters there... maybe they spawn/pup elsewhere in the Atlantic??

Looks like Get Reel is looking to join the party. We were going to do a day trip but the nice weather window just stretched it to an overnighter. Not sure if i will be aboard but the rest of the crew will be. Most likely going to be someplace between Atlantis and Veatch, Hydro is way out on the outside out of Get Reels range. Looks like a Nice weather window. Now we just need a good sat shot.
If i dont make this one GL all.

Personal commitments are keeping us dockside Sat, does look like a nice overnight window... Likely leaving Sat. night for a dawn troll and head back Sunday afternoon... likely in atlantis.
