7/23 Tuna Grounds

[summers in kuwait]

Fun day again Brian. At least we found them and got one to bite.
Next time we'll stick em!

For all,
I was running 65lb braid to 60 lb Fluoro on all rigs and had a short quick bite, unlike Brian's bite on 40lb. Had greenbacks on the flyline rig, threw and dropped irons/magicbait on marks and later in the morning threw some poppers. Lots of life out there. Conditions weren't the prettiest to say the least, but seen worst. I was pretty jealous of Chuck sailing by!

Be safe and prepared when making that trek

Pingpang, that's an amazing video. That kage works well, but damn, fish that big deserve a break away harpoon with a float.

Brian, I couldn't tell you had a PA in the upsidedown photo. Ya, you have plenty of stability n floatation.

I'm In basically the exact opposite boat. I'm 220 and paddle an original OK prowler 15. With bait tank full I'm sitting in a puddle. Ive been a life long surfer and am in decent shape for a 49 y/o. Been yakking 18 years which helps. Ive worked out some effective techniques that maximize pressure on the fish while lowering my center of gravity to increase stability. Still, no way in hell could I utilize the full strength of 60 lb. Mike

Most of you guys are way better fishermen than me....stoked on your passion to fish. Best of luck to all and be safe so the kayak haterz don't start putting regulations on where we can go or fish due to someones misfortune.

I saw a post on Bd I believe of a guy up north who headed out pretty far alone....ended up hooking a thresher and got towed. Had comms with friend via cell but reception got fuzzy. Ended up calling the tower and had to get a boat sent out to rescue him and his catch. Not cool.

Some of you are beasts and seasoned vets who could pull it off....some others jumping on the bandwagon probably just graduated from the bay, caught a yellow and now think they are ready. Just be safe, come home safely and represent the plastic fleet so we can enjoy fishing in open water for many years.

For all of the effort you are putting in to get out there why not bring a popper? If they hit the popper they will choke on it trying to swallow it. This will give you a chance of the trophy size tuna. 65 lb. minimum.
