A perfect day offshore. Slick calm seas, beautiful weather and a good bite - but the tuners really whipped our butts.

Went 2 for 6 on YFT, 2/2 on mahi and numerous hard knockdowns. Started near the canyon tip at 6:30 and worked east for a bit, then turned south and worked the south wall between 50-100F. Water was 71.5. Around 8:00 we picked up the first mahi, then from 8-11 it was game-on. As soon as the spread went back out we'd hook up. The hot bait for us was any natural 7" squid chain or spreader with any blue/white or pink/blue islander type trailer pulled back about 40-60 feet. The bite shut down just before 11:00.

Very nice Rich WTG!!!!!

very very nice...way to get em...Bob

Rich,

Great working with you out there buddy. Doesn't get any better. Flat calm seas and big tuna.

I left my natural squid chain at home and had my pink one that did work. Found this in the bellies....which explains why the squid chains worked...match the hatch.

Great job guys! Those are great looking fish. Thanks for an informative report.
