Tuna boat might smell like i am in the right place....

Not out there until tomorrow,

Actually I am at Camp Pendleton listening to 155 Howitzers off in the distance. Douchemeister.

I'm out of town, but pretty sure its there. Thanks again!

Thanks, Harv! Not out there yet, tomorrow morning.

Going on the excel in july!

I didn't bring my own stuff this time, using loaner gear. Most of my gear is old and tired and I am starting to upgrade to Avet/Seeker set ups. I do have a Avet JX Raptor with a seven foot jig stick for throwing irons and bombs. New stuff is amazing but dang is it expensive.

Vagabond, three day. I am actually going to see the Angels play the Dodgers tomorrow, so Meltons Int Tackle is right down the street. Bluefin and Yellowfin in 1.5 day range so a three ought to get er done. Thanks!

big and black

Title says it all. A little bday road trip culminating in some bluefin tuna fishing out of beautiful San Diego California. Prayers for a safe trip much appreciated! I'll be online though at times. Get to visit my old LHS where it all started, Brookhurst Hobbies in Garden Grove! Later sukkas!

...and DSB

I'm fishing for these guys in five days...Bluefin Tuna. Averaging 60-80 lbs right now with some 150 plus fish in the schools. TORO!!

Merely a vehicle for tartar sauce, which when made correctly, is good on everything.

I looked up peto after I saw that and got dozens of pictures of some naked male porn star...barf!!

They are in the King Mackerel family. Actually they dont have big scary teeth, it is a row of fine razor sharp ones. Most cuts come from handling them. Crew are quick to club them once in the boat. What sets them apart though is they have been known to jump into boats. If you are fishing them by casting and retrieving a jig you have to pause before taking your jig out of the water as they will follow it right into the boat. Many an angler has been injured this way.

Wahoo or Ono as it is called in Japan and Hawaii. White Tuna is more like Albacore. I am actually going fishing for these in July. Teeth so sharp they will filet you open in a heartbeat.

Giving up on the Lanc, eh?

Oh man, wrong kind of stripper!

You da man, Bill! Thanks!!

Yes, I do!

I use coffee filters!

Better polish that black for a couple hours first
