First week of aug. fishing the shrimpboats were dragging in 50 fathom. Too many bonita to get a bite from a blackfin tuna so we pulled the hooks off the lures. Everything was working great. Wait for the blackfin, stop throw bait. Started trolling again theres the bonita then the blackfin then out of nowhere 3 of the biggest Yellowfin tuna came up and pushed everything out of the way. I ran downstairs and grabbed the biggest reel and bait we had. Instant hook up. 4 hours later in the boat. 215 pound yellowfin tuna.

Josh and I had an awesome afternoon hunt with this big cold front that came in. There are ducks absolutely everywhere - big flocks of redheads, shovelers, pintails, and blue bills. The tides have been a little struggle, but my Mud Boat is running really well and I can get to shallow water everywhere now. If you would like to book a hunt, give me a call. I have just a few dates left open.
