While we were missing some of the regular natural born killers (one got stuck working , one was in Florida for lobster mini-season , and the more “famous” of the three was “Toof Diving” in NC ), the remaining cast of characters plus a seasoned new guy set out in flat seas this morning with a goal of filling the Tuna’s HUGE cooler.
What?
All 3 sites we hit had great surface vis and 25’+ vis on the bottom. Bottom temps were a very comfortable 55F and we had 73F on the hang. You know it is going to be good day when you get dropped on a notoriously silty wreck at O-dark 6:40am and can clearly see the shot-line going down, down, down. As I approached the bottom, I could clearly make out several walls against the sandy bottom.
Where?
Did you REALLY think we would tell you exactly WHERE we went? As Bob Nash would say, we were SE of the spot and then N of that spot. Let’s just say the first two were wooden and the third was rusty.
Good?
The good news is we caught some Blackfish up to 9 lbs, a bunch of lobster up to 4 lbs, some Winter Flounder, a couple of decent sized scallops and a healthy amount of Fluke up to 10.25 lbs!
Bad?
The bad news is that SOMEONE caught a 30”, 10.25 lbs fluke and has knocked Mr. Noble out of the running for the title of Duke of Fluke, after he only held the record for a mere 5 days....LOLOL
The Tuna Seizure is running Thursday, Friday, Saturday AND Sunday. As noted above, conditions are great so call the shop at 610 631 2288.
The marine forecast looks great for the next several days, so get out there and go diving somewhere!
