Stopping a school of tuna that is swimming at 8 kts often requires a lot of chum. Thanks to the best bait company in the business @everinghambaitbarge we managed to get a few schools to hang out with us for awhile. 42 bluefin 18 yellowtail.

We didn't connect on the bluefin tuna today. The fish was down or gone but it sure wasn't available for us or anyone else in the area to catch so that's it. We're done with this years Davis ultra limited load 15 day trip and we're headed for the barn. We'll have a big load of cow tuna to unload tomorrow and after an oil change, fuel fill and some grocery's we'll be heading back out on Joey G's Accurate sponsored 8 day trip.

So we fished today on our open party 1.5 day trip. What a morning. We got on a school early. In the dark. I saw them on the sonar, then stopped, then looked out the window and there they were, swimming around under the lights. So I dropped a bait in the water and a minute later I had a tuna on board. So I woke up the crew and the passengers and we commenced fishing. Before the sun came up we were finished. I mean we had our daily limit of yellowfin so we passed the school off to another boat and moved on. The reason we were able to get it done so quickly this morning was because the fish were small. Unfortunately that's what the plan was all along. The good grade tuna schools are missing here in 3 day range at the moment. we've seen this before. It's no surprise during a tuna season. I don't believe it's over. Just temporarily down.
So we wanted to get our tuna out of the way early and then concentrate on finding dorado kelps, but we never found too much for dorado kelps. The wind blew too. It was perfect weather this morning, but by lunch it was blowing a good 25 knots. Not comfortable. Thing went back down though. It didn't stay windy. It's nice now.
We get in tomorrow and we're going to take a couple of days off so we'll see you when we see you. And by that I mean write and read.
