Tuna still biting!
« on: October 08, 2017, 07:39:04 PM »
Report on Paul's behalf ...

They headed towards the 425 but stopped short on a paddy they described as 3 garage doors in size. Hooked 3 dorado right away, and lost several more. Nothing more so they motored for a bit, then came back to the paddy again and it was loaded with Tuna this time. Had the school on the boat for an hour drift, probably ended up a mile or so away from the paddy, and had limits for 4 by 10a.

If you have the means to jump on a boat, the offshore action is still good. Largest 17lbs, 5 or 6 in the 10-12, and the rest were footballs 7-10.

Good luck - hope the intel inspires late season runs.

Dave

Man, I'm hoping for some calm seas to get my skiff out that far...  Business trip next week, but I'm going to try and get in on it before they swim away.

Thanks for the intel, Dave!

It's ok to keep your catch and give to onshore charity. I will happily drive to meet you and trade some loin for vodka.  ;) ;)

Hopefully I will be burdened with fish to find a home for.
