believe me...its killin me to think about bein out there...seein tuna and not haven gear.....however...it is a long season with plenty of opportunities......
so....as much as my fishin mind is tellin me to rig up....the dad in me is tellin me that this proposed trip should be about the kiddies.....while my kids have taken to fishin....watchin d.a.d. set a spread and maybe reelin in a tuna is not as much fun for them as seein whales.....
from the moment a tuna trip is in the making...to loading the boat..to castin off the lines until im back on the dock...im utterly consumed with trackin and catchin charlie....my focus on one thing only....findin and foolin the fish....
I no myself too well....if i bring the gear...my focus will be (as much as i might fight it) on tuna not my kids....while theyre looking at whales and havin fun...i'll be watching the signs for
BFT....thinkin of the smiles i'll miss...not worth it....
Ill get my chances...its a long season with plenty of tuna for all
