Today was slower than expected. Current showed up and the tuna that were still there were deep or focused on fliers. Several fish chasing fliers but very little joy for us. Charles got his first tuna plus a few others and is stoked, currently eating it with his dad here at Striper's. We looked inside for a wahoo or sail but just couldn't find that bite, it happens. The ocean was beautiful and we got back just as the winds started kicking. Off the next 2 days, I have a walk-on planned for Thurs that has a few seats available.

TFO crew today. Started off slow with a small yellowfin we had to kick back. Then found a float and bailed 30plus mahi. Went off to the deep and dropped, 2 AJs and 2 snowy grouper with 1 getting sharked. Then we put the spread out looking for a blue but no joy. Taking tomorrow off to do maintenance and get ready for the Big Rock on Monday.

We had a great day yesterday fishing with a bud and his kids. I left mine at the dock and went as a rider today, which is WEIRD. We had great tuna weather, clear skies warm, hell I got sunburnt. We had 15 plus knockdowns, most of which came tight. We killed a bluefin, another we released, and another got sharked while we led it. We killed 2 nice blackfins and 3 nice yellowfin that went home. This was the first time in a few years that I cracked on a tuna and got my first bluefin (I don't get much rod time on my boat). We stopped at a wreck and they smacked on some bottom fish for a bit as well. The weather looks like crap the rest of the week but if it changes I'll let y'all know.

Left the dock with a beautiful forecast that was correct for somewhere, just not where we fished. Called for South less than 10, NE 10 to 15 is what we got. I Ran and set up well away from the fleet, doubled up on giants, and pulled them both off a few minutes in. Killed a nice butterball yummy in the tummy blackfin, then the BIG bite on the flat line. Worked that fish for 3 and a half hours, and finally we decided to break the fish or break the gear. Well ya know how that works out, broke 150lb leader and moved on with the day, but no more bites for us, that's what happens when ya end up where the fleet has propellerized the fish all day. Ran home at 27kts with calm seas and cranking tunes. Also had Maggie (red bids) back at it today, she'll be deck handing this summer and is picking it back up quickly.
