Tuna Shootout
"Outcast" will be fishing it's first tournament this Saturday, Van Wormer resorts "Tuna Shootout" so we went out today to practice catching big tuna.
We found a big school of porpoise about 35 miles out and could see tuna feeding before we even got a lure out. Our plan was to fish live bait and cut
squid out ahead of the porpoise school and wait for them to swim by.....that didn't work out. The porpoise were just milling around in no particular
direction so whenever we threw out the bait we always seemed to be in the wrong place. We tried trolling and throwing bait when we would get a hookup
but that didn't bear any fruit either.....except for the smaller fish we were catching on lures.
At the end of the day we didn't catch a big tuna but we did catch a few of his little brothers and sisters. I hope to be able to put 1 big fish in the
boat on Saturday, wish me luck....

Yes, I saw the fish too, quite a toad. My guess is that a fish like that would win the tournament....

Great catch, for some "average' blue fins, buddy1
Best of luck in the tournament.
Good thing my buddy Stan Houck is not there (he's from Costa Brava). He usually wins all the tournaments.
He won't be back your way, until about June of next year.

I'm glad he's not here udo, don't need the extra competition. Got the "Outcast" ready to go, I actually feel sorry for the tuna, they really don't
stand a chance...
