Slice off some steaks and fire up the bar-bee, yummm!<br />There's no more fun than gettin in on a strike of tuna, too. You can just about throw out a bare hook, when they are bitin.

Great fun to be on the water when the tuna is around.It happened to me that I was surrounded by dolphins who always accompany tuna.That was a once in a lifetime experience.<br />On another note.It used to be Provincetown,then it changed to P-town and now I see it has become Beantown.Given the current population, maybe we should just call it strange fruit town.

We were out off of Plum island last Saturday bluefishing, and were totally suprised to land 4 of these footballs. First tuna species I have caught in the Atlantic

We didn't keep any Flyrod. None of us were sure on the regulations. We could tell they were juvenile bluefins (40-50 lbs), but talk about fun! We caught the first one and were in complete awe! Then we abandoned the bluefish efforts and started trolling for them and did pretty well.

Gaugeguy, what were you using for bait? The water around Boston and Hull is so warm it's dead....

Re: Tuna in beantown

The first one was on a live herring, the other three were trolling with 10" mackerel colored rapalas between 80 and 100 feet down.<br /><br />From what I have been hearing, trolling squid rigs between 100 and 120 feet is absolutely killing them. I hope to get out again this weekend if the seas are cooperative with the hurricanes coming in.
