Recently I've had the opportunity to jig/cube/troll for tuna, and the bug is beginning to hit me.
We first went out with Ambition Charters two weeks ago, 'fin the target of course. The yellow fuckers didn't play ball, however we managed some nice albi on jig and cube. I got the fish of the trip at about 25 lb however this was on a pilchard cube. I popped a similar size jigged one off unfortunately, which pushed the one taken on bait into insignificance. Oh well, I had tasted the entree and I want the main course!
The following week, onboard Ambition again, mates Tim and Simon caught a 51 and 58 kg yellowfin respectively. I had a feeling our session (the following day) would be a dud - just my spidey sense, but who am I to turn down a chance to get smelly fingers; off we punched through rough seas in search of tuuuuuuuuuuuna.
As with gambling, the spidey sense often knows what's going down. We slogged it out for a long day of rain and swells for an absolute doughnut - not taking into account the blue-shark!. Many would be disappointed at the results of that day but no, not me. We gave it 100% and I will be back for more!
Many thanks to Ivan and James for the opportunity - see you soon.
