Crimson Tide Tuna Report 6/11

[Hoopa Drives The Boat]

Sorry for the late report but tons of work to get done and sick as a dog don't play well together. Saturday I had returning guests John and the Webstah "hey" boys. These guys booked a shark trip with me last summer and were taunted by tuna popping the entire way out to the grounds. They wanted shark bad so shark it was. We caught a dozen blue sharks and pulled the hook on a monster thresher which hit the live blue on the kite after an hr and half battle.



This year was tuna. We left Green Harbor at 4:30am and were not stopping until we saw good life. We rolled up to a whale feed that was second to none so out went the rigs. I immediately started marking tons of bait and a few really nice tuna marks. 8:00 the short corner bar gets slammed and Eric (The shark angler) gets belted up and 20 minutes later I leader and On the edge "stick the fin fish" seals the deal. Fish tapes out at 58" and perfect fattie for the charter.



We switch over to bait for the rest of the day and start to jig up some nice cod under the bait. You can probably figure out where this one is going. John and I get the pit cleaned up and I tell the guys to reel up. 5 cranks up and charlie hammers the jig and snap. We had snagged a pot a couple drifts earlier and never backed the drag off. On a side note we had a sealine cod rod out and a torx LD out. Take a guess which one he hit.



The amount of bait was staggering and more fish seem to be showing up daily. Can't wait to get out there next weekend. See you guys out there and good luck.

Hey thats how it is. (in my Best Capt. Johnathan Hilstrand voice) When the Capt Says Stick the Flippin in fish, you stick the Flippin in fish.
Hope you are feeling better by the weekend skipa. We got fish to catch!!!

Was sort of sick on Saturday. Went fishing anyway. Now have full blown SARS/Dengue Fever/Ebola virus .... not getting any sympathy from wife.

Absolutely dying....

Nice fish. Wish I had followed you guys south.

Andrew saw you pull out of GH behind us. Where did you end up? The bank?

Between PH and the Golf balls. Very slow.

My 12 knot warp speed makes the run down to where everyone else was, a real long day.

Nice work out there Sat. John and Chris. I must say I was a tad jealous when I heard you say you were tight but the toona gods decided to show me a little love too! :-) And you're right about that whale show. I had three come right up on the surface no more than 200 ft. from us slapping their tails like they meant it. Can't wait to get back out there. Hope you feel better Chris and Andrew. That crap is going around.
