BigEye Lures

[Albatross32]

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.

RIPDOG is going......give us a shout on 68. Leaving tonight and coming back Sunday

[Reel Pursuit]

Count me in as well.
Reel Pursuit is leaving Sat AM and steaming for the Atlantises for an overnighter. We hope to go lines off by 11am and be trolling by 2pm. Give a shout on ch.68 to share reports.
Catchemup!!

Madeira has a run of mostly smaller big eyes in March-April and sometimes into May. Fish from as small as 15 lbs to about 60 lbs, often averaging 30-40 lbs. 99.99% of the larger tunas caught by the sport fishing fleet there are bigeye. I've heard of only two or three yellowfin caught in that area.

The photos in that recent Galapagos thread in Josh Temple's forum, I am pretty sure, show juvenile bigeye rather than yellowfin. Also seen photos of juvenile bigeyes caught from around the FADs in Hawaii.
