I finally had to take time off and go fishing. We left hatteras around 6ish and headed south to the 950. Cross over a nice break inshore on the way out and continued on. Drop lines in and bam, tuna, decent size around 25-30 lbs. We pick up a gaffer every once in a while and decide to troll back to the break in about 25 fathoms. Bailers cover us up every chance we get to set lines out so we cut up a bonita we caught previous and start bailing. then we decide we want another tuna or two so head out to deeper waters again. I heard of a spotty tuna bite around the 950 but we decided to troll the other way and when we got in 40 fathoms we hook a nice 45lb tuna. afterwards we come across a floating tree and bail some more dolphin from under it. By now we are on the 150 and head in with 2 Yellowfins and 20 or so dolphin some gaffers and some bailers, no wahoos today though.
We watched Citation release a small Blue marlin while we were out there.
I tried to call still think'n when he was beside us to say hey and see how the morning was for him but he didn't answer the radio? Maybe I wasn't getting out.
The weather couldn't have been more perfect for my much needed day off, but now I need to get back to work!

Was this last Saturday ? I don't recall hearing anybody at all on the radio....that place is like a ghost town on the VHF.....good job you did better than we did...we couldn't find the Tuna for anything that day...got Dolphin which has been a tasty dinner treat for last couple of nights....

Gonna head out of OI this Saturday and try and load up on some Red Meat !...we'll see....Bob

Hatteras boats are on channel 1.

I might have been mistaken but it was just like yours with it looked like Still Think'n on the side but if you weren't out yesterday it wasn't you, that might explain why you didn't answer!
I think the oregon inlet boats are still going south to hatteras but that might change if the northerly winds lay down enough this week

Nice job Trey...glad you got out to get some action! Thanks for the info!!

Bob..who's got your boat!!!
