Launched from the Coral about 2:30am, Gato Gordo, & my buddy Mike joined me for the ride, we got bait & it rolled real quick....not sure if it was shit bait or the weather. Headed toward the lower 500 & took a while since the seas were 2-4 feet & 20kt winds. Didn't get grey light until around 6:15am, is it me or is that late for grey light?
?
water was 62 -64 until we got within 10 miles of the 500 & shot up to 68.5 - 69.5.
Got within 6 miles of the lower 500 then took 2 waves over the hardtop on the starboard side. Defiately some ass puckering on the boat...decided wasn't worht the risk & started to head back trolling.
Found a few paddy's with some small Yellowtail's, the water laid down a bit & we did some running back south to try to find some warmer water to try for some Yellow Fin Tuna, waste of time.
Got right outside the Banda Bank (62.1) and Blood Vessel called us in on some Blue Fin Tuna boils...the #'s we 31.31 & 116.51...in 30 seconds we get a single jig strike for a 10lb Yellow Fin Tuna. After that triples & quads every 30 seconds of WFO Skipjack. Probably caught & realesed 30 or so.
AFter getting tired of all the skippy's we decided to head back & do some trolling in town. Picked up WaaTooSee, Matt, Mots, Miicah & MikeyLikesIt. Headed into town had a blast as always & towed the rig back Sunday Morning.
Almost forgot Gato picked up a pup mako on a bait rig...Looked really cool, wanted a picture but bit througt the line before we got a chance. Was only like 5 lbs & 1 1/2 ft long.
