BLUEFIN 19 Lump and Masseys 7-25

[sledge]

We were the first boat at 19 lump yesterday(4am)...went on a recon mission to locate bait and fish ...then troll...got on the troll about 4:45am with all bally/ilanders...and two spreader bars mostly to get somethings attention...didn't get our first bite til 6:00 and boated him (49") on WWb blue and white...continued to work the bait hard and had a fish at 7a 46"(approx 100 yds back pink and white) and another at 8:15(same)46" released...the last 2 were good battles on 30's with 40lb test.... Had a gaffer dolphin hit at 11am but had no more tuna bites at 19...so we left at NOON!

From 19 we went to North end of Massy's to try and box a BIG boy. We had 3 bites and and 2 fish hooked up within 5 minutes( I guessed we stopped at the right spot). The fish on the jig broke the line but the sardine on bottom rig held up(40lb flouro) and I grabbed the tail of the fish thru the tuna door(a great feature on a 28 ft CC), ....too small 46" so he got released too...no more bites at massey's.....we worked really hard for the fish .... it turned out to be a decent day even though the trolling lanes were crowded

Joe, We stopped on the way in from a great Tile trip and jigged for a while but didn't mark or catch anything so we split and headed for home!
Nice job Joe!!
