- Kicked off our tuna season a few days too late. I’m reluctant to book tuna trips in very early June in fear of the fish being delayed in getting here. Well this year that backfired big time. Our first day was Thursday the 8th and the expectation was high based on one of my buds who fished Tuesdays and killed 14. We fished hard Thursday, Friday and Saturday with a grand total of 8 bites yielding 5 fish. Talk about a let down! And my buddy who slammed em on Tuesday….he never had a bite on Thursday and only killed one on Friday. Spent a little time on Saturdays trip hammering some nice black sea bass on a deep water wreck. Southwest breeze and calm seas, never good for tuna. Fortunately they’ll bite again soon!
