Birdsnest said he would be on plane by 4:45 so we launched earlier to try to meet the Tuff city boats out there.
We drove and drove and drove trying to find the warm water. We hit the Louden and it was still under 57. Tidal Chaos kept going for awhile until they had enough and decided to start fishing (smart move on their part). Firelight and I kept going trying to find the other boats. The water temp started to rise painfully slow. It seemed like forever and we were getting frustrated. It is times like these that you realize how big it is out there and how important data and intel are for this fishery. I was getting nervous about how the day would pan out, then we caught some conversation on the radio between the other boats. They were hitting them on green on green and mexi flags with quad hook ups to boot!!!
We decided it was wasting too much time trying to find the other boats (they were still a ways away) and we started fishing. The temp was right around 59 so good to go.
We're fishing.
Right off the bat we had a double on the hand lines.
We hit a few on the rod's soon after. The three rod caught fish were all good sized fish and one of them almost kicked my azz lol. First tuna I have had come to the boat then decide to bugger off again big time. It was a hoot. The new Accurate reel and Shimano rod setups I bought worked awesome and I am very pleased with the set up.
Slush bucket.
