Awesome report and congrats on scoring 2 nice yft. Any trip to the rigs that results in YFT blood on the deck is a success. Good job on staying with it. Swordfish bite will be there.

That is 3 or 4 yft scoreboard post on this forum in the last week or so....time to get out there.

Reel Alimony (4/28/2008)Being new to the jargon.. can you elaborate on the setting up a chuck line comment..

I can see the result, just need to understand the methods used.. looking to get out to the Patronis next time we are down to OB and the weather cooperates.. like to hear and understand all the techniques

Thanks

First set out a chum line. Then take a chunk of bait and bury your hook into it. Throw out the baited hook and peel line from the reel by hand, always fast enough to let the chunk be able to drift as if it wasn't on a hook. After about 300' reel the line in and start again. ALWAYS being careful to keep fingers from any chance the line can wrap around one. Easiest way of being called stubby should you get a good run.

Well Ron I tried at least....... I didn't even know I was going until then........:letsparty Anyway Ron hit it on the head with the chunking.......... We were setting up about 2 or 3 hundred yards from the up current side of the rig and kill the motors and start drifting towards the rig while throwing several chunks at a time waiting till you cant see the last ones and throw some more......... We caught both of the yellowfin on chunks of cigar minnows :doh I know I know........ We had already cut up the only blackfin and all we had left were cigs........ They workedwell though. When we cut the stomachs open they were full of nothing butour cut cigar minnows..........I guess you never know what they are gonna be in the mood for..........

Ajerv (4/28/2008)great report and pics! I would love to see pics of your boat and rigging. It takes skill to do an overnighter with two men and a center console.

My boat is a 27 contender cc and really nothing special to it as far as the rigging.........All you need to do is go........... Staying awake is the hardest part :sleeping.......... It sure is peaceful out there at night.

I understand the term "tunafied" and feel certain your Dad silently wished nothing else bit for an hour or more.

Congratulations on your tunas.

I know, I know....you don't know how bad I wanted to go. Told Susan the minute we got off the phone. I told her today was going to be the day YFT hit your deck. Congrats to both you and your Dad. Wished I could of been there. Another day will come. Thanks for the call as you said...you never know where I might be, and I could of easily been in McComb.
