Title: My first tuna fishin' trip
Post by: huntinkid on May 28, 2010, 11:44:01 AM
Last september we went 44 miles off shore to catch tuna.  I got 3 tuna that were pushin 40 lbs.  You have to troll very fast for them but it was very fun.  We also caught a bunch of squid they are hard to land when they squirt their ink.  We had a great time and I cant wait till this summer to see if we get to go again.

I think you have to yell it in bold to get it right.

Hey it's ok,I was just joking around, but tuna comes out of a tin can, TUNA! on the other hand rips some drag. The long range fleet out of San Diego are hooking up now, they're on their way, another month or so it'll be TUNA! time  :drool:

WOW, that looks really cool.  Let that young lad know that there is a diehard hunter and fisherman here that hasn't even hooked or landed either a Tuna or Squid.

Them things hit like a truck- I can't wait to get back out after them. I did get out once for halibut this year and got one that was around 15 or 20 pounds. Kinda small but we only caught 3 that day out of 7 fishermen so I was happy.

Nice bunch of fish.  If any of you can swing a tuna trip, DO IT!  They are, pound for pound, the fightingest fish I have ever caught.  And they eat well too.  Hooked one (yellowfin) about 200 pounds once with my spinning rod and 30 lb test, I am not sure it even knew I was there before I let it break off so it would not spool me.  Luckily about 10 people saw it hit my jig so I had witnesses.   :)

Last year it was about the 10th of July when they showed off westport but usually around the 20th  All you have to do Rasbo is hope on board we usually stay out about 4 days I can guarantee you all the shark you want to catch and big squid at night. We hook a piece of tuna on and tie a 5 cent ballon on about 6 feet above the hook and let it drift out to the edge of the lights.
