Judging by how our trip has been so far, if you would have told me we would have 6 bluefin as of 1:00 this afternoon I wouldn't have believed you. But sure enough, those darn bluefins were laughing at us. We saw plenty of them but they didn't give two you know whats about us. Our buddy Brian on the Spirit Of Adventure called us and told us he was seeing the 30-50 pound grade around where he was so we took a little ride down there. It wasn't really biting that well until we got there. Again our timing is on. For the next few hours it was game on. It actually took a while to get them to bite but during the best of it I couldn't get the balloon rigs out fast enough. They were snapping!! We ended up with a couple rounds of the 30-50 pounders with one going around 90 pounds and we also got a handful of 30-35 pound yellowfin there as well.
After it dried up we went looking for another. We found several schools but none that would hang around and bite our baits. Around 6:30 we bumped into another school that stuck and we picked up 21 more of those beauts. And now we drift and do it again tomorrow.
The chefs are getting better and better at there sushi spread. This afternoon it was terrific and I'm pretty sure I heard it's veal chops for dinner tonight. Sweet dreams.
