We went out of OI yesterday and went to the Point. We got a late start and it took 2hrs to get out there because of the choppy conditions ( my boat is only 22'). I guess we started fishing at 9am and immediately hooked up with a few skipjacks. Saw some big tuna crashing/feeding and hooked up with a 15lb-20lb YFT, put him in the box...first tuna of the year! Had a pair of dolphin crash the spread and landed both, I guess they were around 15lbs. Rigs back out and the shotgun rod goes off, after a good fight I gaff a nice 50lb YFT. Rigs back out and make another pass through the "zone" and hook up to a 20lb gaffer, put him in the box. Trolled another 30min or so and land another 15lb gaffer and lose one close to 25lbs. He pulled the hook at the boat just as I was about to stick him. That was at 11:30 and we trolled for another hour or so before packing up and heading back in. It took us about 2 hours to get back in and with that STIFF SW wind we stayed soaked the whole way. I think I need a bigger boat!
 All in all, it was a great day of fishing and a beautiful day at the Point. BTW, water temp was 80 F from the inlet to the Point. EG Totals: 2 YFT 4 Gaffers 3 Skipjacks |

Yeah, we saw quite a few YFT on the surface feeding when we got out there. When we made it back in, the docks were filling up with tuna.
Most big boats were flying kites for the tuna. EG |
