Well, that's it
 

I give up--out of 7 scheduled trips to the blue water, only made it out twice. Next Tues. trip is a no go--what with 55kt wind & 19' seas forecast. Just as well I guess- no tuna or at least so scattered with even temps all over(now in the high 50's) but I feel for the captains who would regularly go----so much lost revenue...Let's all hope the fan blows it's ass off over the winter and shuts down for next year's season. This year was just a disaster for the off-shore fishery...I'm basically referring to the PB's that primarily chunk & not those who drag plastic, etc. early on. Gonna dream about next year & put my gear to sleep for a long winter's nap!!!!

The jamaica finally caught up a bunch of nice longfins on there last trip out. They added another trip leaving next Sunday.

Shame that another tuna season is almost behind us just hope
For next year

Re: Well, that's it
 

June through early August was excellent for the tuna fishing, including outstanding bigeye fishing and some jig action. Sept onward sucked once the first tropical system passed near us.

It’s been a long time since we had a real eddy slide south down the line from the NE canyons in the fall.

Hey shorts, haven't put my toys to bed yet---hope you're right...
John D.---I know BUT I don't do trolling anymore---not mating on a private ride any more.....then we usually tended towards the southern spots...hardly ever got up to the "Lindy"...

Re: Well, that's it
 

Personally, I love the fall chunk and jig bite more than anything but have
To adapt to the fishery. IMO, I still believe it to be thriving but is 100% dependent upon the water quality on the edge, which has been poor the past 5-6 years for most of the fall.

Re: Well, that's it
 

Changing fishery so why don't the PB guys adapt? Go earlier in the summer.Years ago we got a report that a hot chunk bite was going on in Tom's Canyon.We made some calls and ran the Rosie R out and had a great day.
