Well....with this being my last weekend I can fish until late December, Otter and I decided to give the Blue Fin Tuna a shot today. Wind was a bit stiff this morning at 0700, definately not the 10Kt winds predicted by NOAA or Intellicast, no, I would say a definate 20 gusting to 25 out of the n - ne.....made for a interesting ride out that's for sure....but we worked it out past the tower and put lines in with visions of Giant Blue Fins crashing our baits......

Only one other Charter boat out there, happened to be in a 58 footer and he had pretty much the same day we did....Blue Fish bite offs, no love from the Tuna.....we fished from the tower , out to the fish hook area and back to the tower...had a ass load of birds there at the end of the day but nothing came out of it but some chewed up, bit in half Ballyhoo....

So....putting away the big Gold gear and lubing up the senators, TLD's and Penn 45GLS's getting ready for the ocean striper when I get back....What color is the green can at Cape Henry again ??????

Look for the big yellow boat back on the water after the 19th......

Little Video of the ride out...



Good luck and see you soon......Bob

oh well thats fishing. you cant catch em sitting at home eh.. hope to get a few more shots in before we hang em up for the year.. whichever way well be looking for the big yellow to get back on the water and show us the way

thanks for the report-

Bob, from what Don told me you guys just paid a couple of months worth of dues. King Neptune should have something good waiting for you when you get back. And my eyes hurt every time that boat comes back to earth! You'll find me at the bar with Don and Dave! LOL! Catch 'em up!

Glad you guys got back in safe...it was very sporty...hats off for staying out...I bet today you don't have a headache like the crew on Billable Ours. I can tell you this...Big Sam's loves us though!! I haven't been drunk at 10:30 am since my stranding on HI!!

I was reading some other message boards and they are still catching big BFT and striper up and down the line to Montauk. So there are more fish north us. We checked out the same general area Friday but never put a line in as I didn't see any signs of life. I'm keeping my stuff ready for another window of opportunity (but my windows are not 15-20 NE )

WTG on scouting out the area for us all.

We tried to head out yesterday too but chickened out barely after getting out of lynnhaven. You guys deserved some tuna for going out there. Thanks for making us feel a little better. Hopefully Fishdad is right.

Way to go Bob you are as crazy as the KAYLYN guys. THanks for the trips look forward to doing it again soon.

nice man, way to give it a go

Hey Craig....cleaning the outside of the boat is much easier since you worked your magic on still Think'n....thanks again man....bob

Bobby,

Great talking to you Sat. A little choppy huh???? I'm glad I wasnt the only one out there with an addiction. Tell Otter to get the BBQ ready its time to plan some trips.

Thats nothing, I bet George would not even puke in that.
