Is it Tuna Time?

[NJNewbie]

Its that time...

 

Weather looks alright for next weekend but we will need to see as it comes closer. Getting anxious 

[NJNewbie]

Weather looks ok Sat and Sunday, time to take a ride and see what's out there. 

 

Thinking about running and gunning for tuna in the morning, will give up by 11:30-12:00 if no signs of life and look for some bass or tog. 

 

Anyone else running this weekend? 

[Lphunsjr]

I may take a peak Sunday

Keep us posted on how you do.

If you ever need another guy or 2 to offset gas and bait let me know.  Would like to get more experience on offshore fishing. 

Went out couple of time tuna fishing,  but always on the troll, I would love to jig , chunking etc

Gonna give it a shot tomorrow. Good luck to those going.

Went sat

 

Cleared the inlet by 5:45am and on the troll by 6:15.

 

Trolled for 2 hours in the fleet, but didn't see any life so packed up and headed north. Trolled another few hours up north, but no marks and no life. 

 

On the way back in found a couple dolphins, casted on them but didn't seem to be holding any fish.

 

Sunday morning I saw a lot of pictures of big fish boated. Will try again next weekend.

Weather looks "ok" for sat. Sunday looks a little sporty. 

Anyone running for tuna this weekend?
