Nice fish! Closest thing to a tuna in my stomping grounds are bonita. A freind of mine runs his 23 out 50 - 60 miles in the Gulf all the time. The max in my 18 is about 30. I'm always the smallest boat out there! Good feelin' though...

Nice work Peter. Comin up to Fair Haven Sept. 8th...be around for a few days. Up to the city/Brooklyn for memorials on the 11th, may drive cross country with an old girlfiend, returning to drive out to Montauk on the 24th. Be back in MonCo for a few days (29-Oct. 2nd). Lost my invite to the Cape after almost 40 years. I guess things change. Anyway, last year all the Stripers were south of the Cape and the harbors were LOADED with bunker. Looking forward to coming up. Nice work with the BFT. Part II.

Oh yeah, gotta run some SC parts down to Don at Pipe Dreams. Maybe I'll look you up on the way up the Parkway. Believe I still have your cell. Be safe. Michael.

Good to hear fom you Mike. If the BFT's are still running when you are up here maybe we can get you out there.

They are a lot of fun.

Was out there yesterday on the troll on a 21 contender

Lots of life, turtles, whales, dolphins, skippies. Just big Albies and skippies on the troll for us. Probably around a dozen boats out there, heard of one or two bluefin caught on the chunk.

Basspond, any chance of you fishing the bay or the hook Wed. 9-9 or Thurs. 9-10? I'd almost certainly be alone, with Cash, Light Beer & Light Gear. Heading north for the 11th. Thanks. Part II.

If you're working, I'd be happy to meet you at the boat, check it out and buy you a few beers. If the weather is crap...Barnacles or Donovans. Thanks. Michael.

I'm going to be on Long Island around the end of august, and I'm trying to talk my cousin into running out of Jones inlet in his Steiger to see if we can find some tuna. Can you guys give me some advice on tackle or point me to a webpage or forum that describes the kind of tuna fishing there is out around the mudhole and glory hole? I know it's a different ballgame than what we do up here on the cape. I put a 68" fish in the boat last week trolling squid bars on 50 TLDs and VSWs. I'd actually like to catch some smaller tuna for a change!
