REPORT Tuna OFF VA

[28 Topaz]

5/31
Left outta VA BEach headed to 100 FA just north of the Cigar The guys were letting the shot gun out and I was lowering the riggers and I look over at the shot gun and its bent over 1 YFT in the box about 40# troll the area for a hour and head east to the break couldnt find it finally get back inside and a nice gaffer Keep working the area and 2 more gaffer one about 25lbs Start trolling north towards the longliners and 2 on 2 nice 50lb class YFTs in the box. We ha a few more short bites but no more for the day. Water temp 63-68 seas flat lots of life including a large white shark. We were happy with the results for our 1st trip of the year. We probably would of done better if we stayed inside There out there boys let the Fishing begin
