I had a group of local guys for a gulf stream trip. The weather was perfect and ran to the south. As soon as we put the lines out the Black fin were jumping all around the boat. It didn’t take long for a double header. The morning trolling action was good with Black fin, Albies and Skip Jacks. Then the short bait was hammered by a Sail fish but missed the hooks after several attempts then the long line went off and after a short battle and a lot of jumps it threw the hook. The troll bite slowed in the afternoon so we started jigging. We caught a few jacks then the tuna started chewing. It was every drop and also top water action with poppers. It was wide open for a couple hours and could have sunk the boat with Blackfin if it wasn’t for the sharks eating a lot of the tuna. A great day on the water for Oct.
