    My first giant tuna

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    Battlehammer is absolutely correct about sawing off the gill plate, removing all interior and pack with ice.....yes we had to use a saw!

     

    We had 400 pounds of ice on the boat.

     

    After packing with ice we put it in a huge insulated bag, covered the tuna with ice, zipped it up and headed for the dock.

     

    Going for yellow fin tuna and mahi in a few weeks.....hopefully we will get a few.

    I fished yesterday with my friend Leo on his 35 Duffy.

     

    Left his dock in green harbor ma around 5:30 yesterday morning.

     

    Went to the SW corner to get our live mackerel and found plenty of bait. After 20 minutes we had a few dozen.

     

    There was a large fleet in this area fishing for tuna so we decided to motor further North down the bank.

     

    We found some life with birds and whales, so we set up., 15 minutes later we were on.

     

    Ended up being a 3 hour fight. This fish had 6 solid runs and stayed on the bottom.

     

    Great day for sure. IMG_0825.JPGIMG_0834.JPG

    Oil

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    I ran Shell Rotella 15w-40 for 10 years in my other boat with a 5.7L mercruiser, no problems.

     

    I like that oil, it's also rated for gasoline engines.

     

    Did not see any difference vs the 25w-40 mercruiser brand oil.

    Here are some approx. numbers of where I fished in the spring for Haddock.

     

    Just look for the boats (charter and head boats) and head in their direction.

     

    If you have radar, then it is easy to find the fleet especially on the weekend.

     

    42.15 N  70.32 W  - South West Corner (fished this area this year)

     

    42.27 N 70.23W - Middle Bank East Side (fished this area last year)

    Hey garrymny.

    Your boat would be fine, just need to select the right day weather wise.

    I see many boats your size on the bank.

    The Haddock are on the middle bank and also in the north west corner currently.

    You could launch out of Gloucester, behind the high school, nice launch...think it is $5

    Also could launch out of green harbor in marsh field ma.

    Both launches to the bank depending on location are approximately 20 plus mile run.

    Fished West of Wilson today mainly in 290 - 340.

     

    We went 13 for 14 on Kings.

     

    Copper and riggers were firing.

     

    Fished just spoons today, mag NK black and orange and black with white ladder back.

     

    Riggers were set at 68, 87 and 72...moved them around to generate strikes.

     

    Kept 3 fish and released the rest, could have easily boxed out today.
