September 18 mid-day report
Hello anglers: Well they say timing is everything, and ours has been bad the last two days. We arrived to the tuna area yesterday morning and right when the fish started to show up, the Navy asked us to leave the area as we were in their live firing range. So we went north 10 miles where there wasn’t much fish. Once the range was open the wind came up and it blew 25 knots, so we had to quit fishing and hide for the night.
This morning we saw the biggest school of the trip and it wouldn’t bite. The weather came down so we could work and the morning has been the best time for the tuna. We spent the morning in the zone with not much to show for it. We moved 20 miles to another area and found another good school of tuna and that school wouldn’t bite either. But we are sill working at it!
Today’s picture is Paul Schulz and Kurt Pedersen with a sample of the tuna we caught.
