Headed out on the DayTripper to the Norfolk to get the season going which seems overdue. I had a great crew of D Trax Buck Buckley and Rocky Went to the 540 @ 50 fa on the north wall. Worked the canyon wall for most of the morning with scattered bait marks and no bites Worked a few pods of whales but no bites. Decided to go east towards the 500 Bite get to about the 515 in 200 fa and start reading huge balls of bait worked it for a while and an explosion that the crew saw on the GM bar worked the area for 2 more hours and boated 6 nice 60lb tunas and 1 25lber Bites were on B/W bars GM bars Illanders Witch’s Picked up at 3:30 headed in and at the tower we hit something and busted a fin on my starboard prop limped in at 8 knots.
