One Man Fishing Machine


Lundy with his catch for the day
  We had Lundy for our charter today. We call him Lundy on Monday because that is the day of the week he likes to fish.He usually brings one other person with him but today he was just ready to get away and came by himself. We had to wait a little this morning because of the fog and ended up leaving in it anyway as it seemed that it was not going away any time soon. Another boat and I eased out the channel together and on into the ocean. It stayed foggy most of the day with a few clear spots here and there. It cleared up about 15 minutes before we left. 
    The day started out for us with a double header Wahoo first thing. We caught 5 through the day and lost that many more mostly because we were fishing tuna gear and Wahoo usually win out over fluorocarbon. Even when we put some wahoo baits in the water they still ate the other which is generally the way it goes. We managed to scrap out a decent catch of Black fin tunas as well. At one time we had a couple of bigger tunas on that I suspect were the nicer class Yellow fin but they got away from us.                                                                                                                                                                          Besides the fog the weather was beautiful and the fishing was good. Thanks again Lundy. We'll see you on another Monday soon.

You never know what will pop out of the fog
