Canaveral Buoy trip
 

Last week there was a weather opening and I made a trip on a buddy's boat to the Canaveral weather buoy. *Its a buoy about 135 miles east of cape canaveral and it can be loaded with tuna. *On a trip a week prior my buddy had limited out on larger yellowfin (15 tuna 20-50 lbs each). *This trip, not so much :D *We managed 4 keeper yellow fin, to about 30 lbs, about 30 undersize yellowfin, 20 or so blackfin, and 4 nice triple tail (speared). *Road out to the buoy Sunday afternoon, fished for a couple hours, then finished in the morning. *Ocean was not very active, we crossed the entire gulfstream and there was only one small weedline the whole way. * The most fun was probably jigging the tuna at night, and casting topwaters to the tuna

Sweet. Catch anything on the flyers you didn't eat?

Glad to see someone fishing !

After dark they were holding deep, action was pretty steady on the vertical jigs, didn't try anything else
