Cell phone camera did not do these nice gaffers justice or much for my smiling face. The two hanging behind me were at 20 lbs, holding tuna, and a nice cow with a partial bull head (u figure). The fish were scarce and the radio was silent. Peanut dolphin at the reef but good fish were well offshore. We had a 3/4 day and got good fish at 35 off the beach. By the time we caught these, it was time to come home. However, I have never had a charter that would complain about catching these nice fish. Lots of people are conditioned to the fact that with a North to Northwest wind the fish won't bite this time of year; wrong again. You just have to be willing to go the extra mile to find them. Lots of weeds inside and some lines with bait on them. All the right conditions, but no fish (except thousands of tuna). For those wanting tuna, drop your lines back, kick up the throttle and run those rascals down. Billy baits and "tuna killers" from Dave's tackle will do the trick.
