The weather this past Saturday was 4-7’ seas at 7 second intervals with rain and thunderstorms along with fog. We caught all of them in green water in 27-35 fathoms. The big ones are yellowfins the smaller ones are blackfins and the 5 silver ones with stripes along their bodies are skipjacks. I broke off a bigeye at the boat and we lost two to sharks. That’s 460lbs of tuna less the skipjacks and the head. We use the skipjacks for bait. More Cowbell

I got queasy just from the mention of 4-7 foot seas. I would love to see the Gulf Stream, but I am certain that the day I picked would end up being like the worst episode of Deadliest Catch.

If not who was your guide/captain? www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com for trap mods and gear The 10 Commandments are not suggestions. Buy a soldiers meal EVERY chance you can.

Believe it or not 4-7’ wasn’t that bad. We never really made it out to the stream. We started in 72* blue green water and worked back into 67-69* water that was green. That’s where we caught most of the fish. Anyone that wants to go the cost for the boat and tip for the mate is $380/person for a six person trip. I’d be glad to go with y’all if you want to book one. Our captain has a real job so he fishes Fridays and Saturdays for charters and Sunday the owner fishes. He mostly chases billfish. More Cowbell
