Today’s offshore trolling trip began with a one requests; no marlin, mahi, albacore or tilefish. The NJ pair only wants yellowfin regardless of how few are being caught by the fleet. I decide to head back to where we had a yellowfin a couple trips ago. Set out a tuna spread and started covering ground all the time listening to the boats 20 miles south crushing the marlin. We encountered three marlin today and were fast enough to get the baits away from two of them but one is quicker and hangs himself. I stay clear of all lobster gear but even so we get jumped by the mahi’s once. Never found any yellowfin only a couple skipjack.
