Hatteras Tuna

Headed down to Nags Head with Eddie D to meet the Stark Gang to get in some tuna fishing down there Friday.

woke up to hard rain Friday morning but it ended quick and by the time we hit the boat the sky was clearing. First three Tuna were all small Blackfins. The first one here shown with Jim had us crying seeing such a small tuna come into the FIGHTING chair. We then had a double on yellowfins followed by a chinese firedrill of four yellowfins on at the same time, then another double , to finish with Eight yellows between 25-40 pounds.

Ended up keeping the eight yellow fins and one blackfin.

Going 3/3 on blackfins and 8/8 on the yellowfins.

But the bite dropped right out with the wind at 11 am, and fishing just got WICKED nasty till we quit at three.Capt of theDreamgirl had us on the meat early, and we at least got to fight a few each. Fun trip with alot of laughs and ribbing.

Had the Blackfin for dinner last night, I like it better than the yellowfin. wish we had caught some bigger ones of those.
