    Bluefins

    Headed east around 15 FA off VA Beach My crew was a no show It was his birthday the night before he and his son were to be at the boat @ 400 no where to be found. So I roll solo Got lines in @ 6:15 with little bait and a few marks. The charter fleet was several miles S picking away. I headed that way 2 boats were hooked up. Worked the are for several hours and no love . I start to run the edge north away from the fleet and the B/W tracker on the flat gets hammered put boat in auto and clear lines 30 minutes later a nice 50lber BLT comes to gaff Had 4 bites altogether release a small one. First time solo for tunas it was a blast

    We fished out of Rudee yesterday, but no tuna for us... Tried like hell and threw everything but the kitchen sink at em.

    Couple nice gaffers for us...

    Congrats Tim.

    I left you a VM about the flatties. My bud fished there yesterday afternoon and had much better results. Small strip baits off the wreck a ways, outgoing tide.

    The next bite on a jig.
    Pretty work Day Tripper. Looks like a well cared for fish also, which is always nice to see.

    Congrats on the solo victory.
