Tuna, not a kayak related post.

[FISH11]

Hi guys, just tired that there have been no new post of quality fish. I know some have been caught, but really things have been Super Slow... I got to go on a private work all payed trip for tuna yesterday on the San Diego. With the weather changes the trip was moved ahead by a week. The Santa Ana weather made for a beautiful day with increasing winds, but beautiful. Captain Ryan and the crew did all they could to put us on fish and the boat covered over 130 miles looking at every kelp paddle we could find. They found plenty on areas with Yellowfin and Bluefin Tunas, but they just weren't interested in playing. We had multiple stops were the tuna were boiling or under the boat. Tried live bait and flat falls, they had jigs trolling the rest of the time, but the catch was unbelievably small for the 24 of us from work. Tons of room on a boat made for many more. To make the story shorter. I won the jackpot for largest fish. Sweet, first time that's ever happened. The bad is that I had the only Yellowfin caught and one rat Yellow Tail. We caught those in our first Kelp Paddy stop on the way out. The Yellowfin was my first ever tuna and wished we had caught many more. I was lucky in representing the kayak fishing background community in that there was many on board that have extensive tuna fishing experience. Anyway, here is a picture, just to keep us focused that there still fish out there. We just have to keep trying and it will happen. Hopefully the next post is of a local Yellow Tail on the Kayak.
