| Dreaming of Tuna |
Driving down to Seaforth Landing, the thoughts of previous adventures and their successes ring though your head. Just when your excitement begins to flare you remember the time you were "skunked" and you seem to come back to reality.
Making bait and rigging up.
Find the right sized hook, Flouro or no flouro? That is the question!
People are talking about what to expect, hoping for big bluefin. we had the bait and the spots, but like always it's not always going to go the way you think.
I talked to the Second, Andy but he wouldn't guess, besides it was hard to pay attention as He was grinding down a sandwich as we spoke!
Don seemed hopeful as we spoke and caught up a bit with what was happening in life between tuna trips.
Joseph was ready and felt like we were going to catch, although he seemed just as happy just being on the boat . We get busy and the down time is a blessing. Catching fish is like whipped cream on the cupcake!
Stuart and Mike catch up, and talk story.
