Yesterday, I had Chris Newton and crew on board for a blue water trip. We started at the Black Jack, and had only been trolling for about 5 minutes when the starboard flat went off. First dolphin of the year for us at around 6 lbs. Not huge, but a start. After working the BJ for another hour or so, we headed up the line toward the steeples. About a mile from the offshore numbers, the port rigger started screaming. After about a 15 minute fight on the tld 25, I start seeing color. Nice tuna, maybe the first yellowfin in a while. The fish got closer, and I see that it is a nice black fin, which would weigh 29 lbs. 12 oz back at the dock. About 10 minutes later, the shotgun went off. This one ending up being a football blackfin. We worked the are for a couple of more hours with nothing else, and decided to head back inshore to try to catch some beeliners. We couldn't get anything past the 3-6 lb. bass to catch anything else. Come on June 1. All in all, not a bad day, not the best, but certainly not the worst. It won't be long until the bluewater is on fire, and I can't wait.
