The Amazing Ocean

How many times have we gone fishing looking forward to a good day because they have been catching limits for several days? It seems like there are so many fish how can somebody possibly miss? Out on the grounds at daylight the following day there are no signs of fish and by mid morning it almost seems as if there are no fish in the entire ocean. Thus comes the old saying, "You should have been here yesterday". Quite often though as fast as the fish go away, they seem to reappear. This afternoon we ended up in a zone where three days ago it was 3 degrees cooler, off color and had no signs of life. Today the water was 65 degrees, purple, full of bait balls and had many spots of breaking fish. We had several stops after we got into the zone late that were very encouraging. In a matter of days, we went from no offshore sign to catching bluefin, yellowfin and albacore. The interesting thing about our couple of albacore stops was the size of the fish. One stop we had 5 "fatso's" that weighed 30-43lbs and another stop where they weighed 22-25lbs. We finished up the afternoon with 8 albacore, 8 bluefin and 3 yellowfin tuna. We would bet that this is just the tip of the iceburg for the upcoming offshore season.

Today's picture is Steve Kneip with a beautiful bluefin tuna.
