Had tuna on my mind.
launched at 0630, made it past the fog bank around 8 and was able to see more than 100 yards. Lots of empty Pattie’s along the way, started seeing deep marks from tuna (150-200ft) and then finally foamers. Trolled lures through the foamers hoping for an easy hookup and they wouldn’t touch any of the newest, hottest lures or the old trusty ones.
Switched to irons, got cut off through my braid twice by the school. Got tired of re tying floro top shots on my jig stick so i Switched to my trollers, the Okuma SLX 20 with 65lb braid and 100lb mono wind on and tossed a salas 6x in chrome and got cut off, rigged my other rod which is its twin and came tight on a few fish then stuck one. The video tells the rest.
