Tuna Report for 12-14-15-06 Overnighter

Well, fog I heard rolled onto the coast but, past 9 miles it was clear as a bell, so we made the run real deep was worth the trip had 4 charter guys onboard ready for the bite.

Trolled some couldn't get a hookup , so we decided to settle in for the night and hang baits to see what we could get. right off the bat boom blackfin everywhere not more than 2 hrs. and we had boated 50 didn't use any for bait boxed all these , then while they were still there decided on bait , Got 7 yellowfin tuna and boated 9 weighing 65-75lbs., 2 very respective Amberjack 1-35lbs and another 50lber., found junk comming in decided to weigh our chances and sure enough landed 2 mahi 1-35lber and another 45lber. , No wahoo, but, did manage a grouper about 35lbs. really weren't targeting snapper but, managed 2 vermillion, did hook up a huge shark breaking the line after about 20 min. this is one i would have really not wanted to boat.

This was dan;s trip I went for milage purposes and legallity
