Yellowfin are still biting.....aarrrrrrr!!! - Boating & Fishing Information and Reports Forum

This time of the year, it is almost impossible for me to go tuna fishing . I work for the USPS, so you can probally understand that we are "hauling the mail" right now. Plus, the weather rarely coorperates at this time of the year for a small boat and even if it did, either work or the cold weather will make it hard to find a crew. Add into the equation that a lot of money will be flying out the door for Xmas gifts, thus leaving little money for a quick trip offshore. Is anyone understanding my frustration level right now, seeing the Oregon Inlet fleet return EARLY daily with limits of yellowfin???

Man, I would love to get out there after them right now!!

When [if

] I graduate on the 18th, I should have time, graduation money, youthful stupidity and resistance to cold, as well as a burning desire to fish. So if you need crew, get a weather window and find the time...I'm in...seriously.

I'm just looking for a weather window right now. I'm ready to get back down there and get at them.

She was cranking in Wanchese yesterday. I went down to do some service work on the boat. Even pulling the boat and hiding from the wind behind the Bluewater building I had to nail everything down to keep everything from blowing away. Went for a spin down to the sound and it was blowing 20-25 2-3 in the sound. And it was cold...Mark

Vettnman,
I am all weather went two weeks ago out of Sneeds ferry. No luck trolling, stopped and slayed some Black sea bass on the way back in. My boat is for sale but I have the gear and tackle to go. If is is yellowfin I am in regardless of the water (that is what skoll polamine is for).
