Before i post the report. That Triton is Hoops Rig not mine. I just get to fish out of it all the time
..
Thanks Curt i am glad we got some on the water pics of that arch Jim cuz we will be hanging something from it that will bend it this season..
Now we did spen some time in the morning trolling for tuna. 2 reasons were the reported tuna sightings and we had come new gear that needed to be tested
As for the testing it went perfect. We had put together a nice home made center rigger, and it worked SWEET!!!
And we also picked up a planner and some hoo from Stew @ The Hook Up and rigged it up to the Penn down rigger. This also worked SWEET so we should be able to get a hoo on an Islander down to 40 45 feet
We did not see any tuna action but we know the new tuna gear and rigs all work perfectly. SO Bring on the
BFT
Now for the report this part is going to be short and sweet We started off the day as mensioned before trolling for tuna with no Action at all but the bait was rediculous. we even snagged 2 8" sandeels while tuna trolling That is how thick it was..
We did talk to and fish along side Capt curt for a while and got a few Haddock and 1 nice wolfie for our trouble. Hoop did most of the dammage on the haddock and our friend chris Tankis that came with us got the wolfie. All i got was sun
. All in all it was a beautiful day out there and much cooler then it was on land. We caught a few haddock for the supper table and got the tuna gear all tested and tuned for the season. Thanks Curt for the pics and please send them to
