Sunday Cigar YFT Report

[surferbill]

Left Lynnhaven Inlet with brother Bob (Seminar) and brother Chris (gottheblues) headed to the Cigar. Flat calm run out, and started a little NE of the Cigar with several charter boats.

At 8:30am all seven clips pop, and there is a school of YFT right behind the boat. Two YFT on, and we free spool and gig, and hook up two more. Tuna are attacking the teasers, and it's mass confusion with four fish hooked up, and only three anglers. Finally get three in the box, and the fourth one has been on the line for 20 minutes, and pulls the hook at the boat.

The rest of the day is spent watching other boats pick off a tuna now and then, but we only had a couple of knockdowns, and two pull offs.

At 2:00pm we find a school of tuna on the surface pushing bait. Worked the school with only one other boat, and hooked something big that took a lot of line, then cut the line clean.

Left at 3:30pm with the fleet working the school, but I didn't hear of any hookups.

Just a pretty day on the water, and almost flat calm.

had a great time today, nothing better than running out and back at 32kts. in calm seas. first time ive seen all baits in the spread get hit including the teasers getting hammered several times. the charter boat top notch sure was putting on a clinic on the tuna and even called us over to a school pushing bait.

Kieth,
You have not seen total chaos, until you have been on the boat with brother Bob, during a tuna bite explosion.

At one time I think we had five on. No one was running the boat (I wish we had auto pilot)

Bob was yelling "get the gaff, turn the boat, reel in the teasers, get the other rods in,
DON'T GET TOO CLOSE TO THE CHARTERS!"

It was crazy funny, but I can't wait to do it again. :thumbup:

[Sea King]

Sure rub it in! Leave my hooked tuna in the rod holder just because I had to spend the day with my honey.....well...I had fun too...........

Great job guys!

[Rock On]

Bill great job on them tuners it was pissing us off watching everyone get there turn then we troll past you and watch all your lines pop. That was good getting three in the box some boats would have 8-10 lines go down and get one. We ended the day with 5 nice gaffers couldn't buy a YFT bite but we did have a couple bluefin hit our poppers but no hookup.
Thanks for the picture of the boat the owners are gonna love it.

Great job guys!

Paul,
My brothers and I are very concerned that you passed up an offshore trip to be with your new sweetie.
Brother Chris said you wanted to get "a little quality spooning time" in with the little woman.

We are a little hurt that you would choose spending the day your honey,
over tuna blood and ballyhoo. :D

[BRENDANHOFF]

Looks like a great day!!
