Sorry for the late report.

Fished the hill on Saturday with just two of us on board. Left Bell Isle at 4:00 and had a nice
ride till we cleared the bay. Head seas made the ride a lot slower.
I don't remember what time we finally got there. Billy had six of the 7 rod spread
out when the long rigger gets bit and we are tight to are first BFT. Billy does a great job
working him to the boat. When I grab the leader to sink the gaff he makes a run under the boat
towards the engines, I was waiting for that sickening sound the line makes when it snaps but
he came right back out and this time the gaff found its mark and we put a 50 lber in the boat.
That was the only Tuna bite we had all day. We did catch 1 small dolpin and lost about 4 that never
came tight.

Way to go capt...I have had many great days on the hill. Dale

Way to go Ray!! Glad you got that Tuna!!

Thanks for the report on the hill. Fisherman Magazine says most boats are getting one under and one over the 47" limit. I first started there in a single engine rig and love the place. Contact Capt. Nat Atkinson for a trip if you need the best the Preage has to offer. He took us under his wing twenty years ago and I owe him a lot.
