Default Re: Martha's Vineyard Tuna

The fall was almost a total washout for us. From mid-September on, the wind just blew like crazy. For us, timing was everything, since the boat came out when the weather went downhill - the lower unit let go (on our way to chase school BFT of course!), and by the time the insurance company settled on the claim and our mechanic fixed it, it was late October. We were able to get in 10 days of excellent albie fishing on MV from shore though, so that made things better, but it sure was painful hearing all the guys come back with stories of catching 60-80# bluefin on medium spinning gear and flyrods only 2 miles off the beach in Scituate and Gloucester.
