Great day out there today, met AT Grimaldi and chuck. Always nice to put faces with screen names. WOW is all I can say about the different mixed class of fish today. They were all out together, newborns, babies, juvies, meds, and one absolute cow. To this day it amazes me to see a giant piece of muscle shoot out of the water like a Navy heatseaker!!

Oh yeah, and actually witnessed a 60" fish bounce right off of a 26ish Ospreys' bow while on the troll. We had an ice mishap on the boat today and lost it all so once we said hello to a cute fatty bumpalatty and put em to sleep for the day

we had to pack it up and head for the barn. I told em all to go hide for a couple weeks cause I'll be back!

Yeah Rich, it was absolute insanity out there today. Ballys were sprouting legs and wings in order to get the hell away from the pelagic nazis! We were one of only two boats on em and the 26ish ft. Osprey pilot, not cc, was only aprox. 120 yrds. to port when all of a sudden I see one nice 60 inchish toona jump not ten ft. off his port bow and 2 seconds later another same class fish rockets out four feet in the air and bounces his own ass right off the dudes bow. Absolutely awesome to see. If it was a cc I believe the toona would have ended up right in the boat! I actually felt a little bad for the ballys today, you shoulda seen their faces. It looked as if they all just got done watching Friday the 13th, except it was Friday the 2nd. New version of an old movie!

Not happening at the SWC. I only saw one fish taken there. Sounds like many fish were taken from all the radio chatter going on but not where we were.

AT was that you I heard hook up on plastic? If so,did you find a buyer for the ballyhoo?

Clint3240 · 10-03-2009, 12:01 AM

i was in the action, low on gas so we didn't troll, had live pogies on the mid bank just north of the corner, jumping everywhere and a 23 ft boat that i was on sinking, we ripped the floor board up and bailed, damn live well filled the bilge and then some to the point it was a few inches in the cabin and 2 bilge pumps cut out. second time this happened, once on mine and this time on my buddies boat. live well issues, 2 pumps going and wired separately. it was definitely a bar day.

there are ballyhoo on the bank? i thought that was a southern thing.

About 3:30 on the ISkippy we watched the ballyhoo show go off all around us on the swc and it was truly spectacular.The pure terror of the pursuit - one of those first hand perspectives that i hadnt seen yet, so I was grateful to witness it. The pursuit of these fish was aquabactics at its best. Looking around 360 degrees ,the sheer number of different classes of tuna that went aerial along with fleeing ballyhoo in every direction is something ill remember. One of those days when the tuna crashes outnumbered available birds. We saw the same thing on the way in, more than half way across.

Fortunamate · 10-03-2009, 08:07 AM

i was out on the labrador yesterday as first mate and we hooked a nice 60"class fish after much teasing on the long rigger bar. fought like a 70" fish but after about 30minutes of the charter making fun of the angler and a couple laughs we got him to the boat and ended the game.

I was on the Jenny Lee with AT. WE landed a 55" on a 12" striper candy (like a slugo) on a pen 30. We had 2 50s with ballyhoo out and it had to hit the 30. Sure was fun watching AT drive the boat while I was on the reel. Saw lots of tuna and 3 clear the water by at least 5".

No one answered on the hoo. we where just trying to get rid of them!
