| Had family come in for their once a yr. tuna trip. We headed to horn mountain for tuna as it looked to be in cleaner water from the sat. photos. Ram Powell, Beer Can, Marlin are all in a pea colored green water with no visibility one foot under, I have never seen this green colored water. We crossed a nice line trying to form 10 miles South of Ram Powell, and the water went to a cleaner green, no bait what so ever on the line though. When we made it to Horn Mountain, water color was still the a cleaner green, with no bait. I tried live baiting with some perfect sized threadfin hearing I picked up 55 miles out, only one toothy critter cut me off. Once dark hit, we tried to jig some blackfins for bait to no avail. Around midnight, I started seeing some flying fish and the water looked cleaner, with a slight blueish tint, definitely not cobalt blue, some weeds started showing up moving to the north. We caught 4 blackfin, and missed several others, so we tried chumming to no avail. Then i tried trolling diving baits to no avail. I noticed on satellite weather some light rain moving in from the west, it kicked the seas up to 5-7's, but dissapated before it reached us, so I just hugged behind the rig till it calmed back down, had one fisher still up and he caught a barracuda and an undersized yellowfin on a jig that we threw back. By daylight the dirty green water had moved back in and the rig was dead, so I ran back in 2-4's. That weedline was now 5 miles South of R. Powell and trying to push, but no significant color change. I knew the water was bad, but they were diehard on going that way instead of east. Oh well, thats how it goes. We never had a rain drop hit us and we never saw lightning, it was all way North of us by looking at the sat. weather.
