Late report from Friday..had to leave immediately for a church retreat so I couldn't post right away.
Had the Hickman brothers (4) and pal Mark (the anchorman). Probably the hottest tuna bite I have seen all fall. The bait have finally moved out of the marsh and the yellowfin have come to meet them.
We were in the yellowfin from start to finish with never more than 10 minutes of a lull. In 4 hours we caught 7 yellowfins from 120 - 60 pounds missing at least 4 others due to straightened hooks! We hooked a double on poppers right off the bat. A 120 and another larger one that straightened a treble at the boat. Didn't matter. After boating the next two and pulling hooks on two others we decided to switch over to the heavy artillery. Using stand-up rods and live flying fish we boated 4 others releasing the last fish without a tag before calling it quits early!
Flying fish although difficult to catch never last more than a minute! We even gave the last one to the other boat that was fishing next to us and he imediately hooked up as we were leaving for home.
Anyone interested in getting in on the bite call 504-451-7579 - we are open all week and the weather is supposed to be great! We know where to find them!
