For those fortunate and curious fools who consider following in my wake....
Lucky you for finding my blog in its youth where more guts will be spilled then likely in later years....none the less, for the reasons stated in the first post and in particular the nature of the fishery I will be discussing....well its all at your own risk my hands are clean.
That said:
Leaving tonight, 7:30pm from Penn Station. Mr. Evans is due to pick me up at the Kingston station just before 11. Dash back to Newport for a meager 2-3 hours shut eye then its off to Sandwitch to meet up with the infamous Taylor Brown......ETA tuna grounds 6am
The plug arsenal includes more back up then selection. Word has it that the fish have become more finicky with high pressure the last couple days. This means that in addition to the Tatoo sea pups we will be bringing slugo's, pt jude tins' and yo zuri swimmers amoung other things.
With terminal gear repetition is again king....Bluefin, never mind Bluefin over 100lbs, have a nasty reputation for destroying tackle....especially when we choose to go slightly undergunned with rods like the Gloomis Buccara series and the smaller, though capable VS 150 series. As for line its all braid all day....reels being filled with 15-30lb fireline or 50lb sufix. Leaders 50-80 Seaguar flourocarbon will all be directly tied to the braid, kiss priciple all day.
Once we hit the grounds its all about keeping your eyes peeled and being ready to go. Even when things are crazy shots are quick and if your not ready the fish will have moved well before you even cast.
Its going to be a long couple days...wouldn't want to spend them any other way.
