I did not have the time/energy to run out to the yellowfin biomass, so made a quick inshore trip trolling for something a little closer to shore.
About 5-6 miles out and I saw some flying fish flying around. I started trolling and before you know it got a double hook up of skippies!
I got about 4 or 5 knockdowns that missed the hook, but had one real fish slam my squid daisy chain. Unfortunately fell off by the time I got the rod out of the holder.
I got another skippy while trolling that I bled and packed in ice for some poke. Skippy makes great poke, but unfortunately you have to cut out a lot of red meat to get the good stuff.
I love the blue lines
That was about it. 3 skippies in 3 hours of trolling. Not great, but not bad for being so close to shore.
At any case, it's the first true tuna on The Curmudgeon. Hopefully I can get a nice ahi on it before they disappear. Friggand Bayfest knows how to screw up all of the launch ramps.
I also had this weird navy ship circling me for 40 minutes. I'm not exactly sure why and it had an outrigger on it. Just a weird vessel.
Thanks for reading. I also have some shark and/or lobster bait now!
