Howdy anglers: What a morning’s day of fishing! We have a day’s limit of yellwofin tuna and it all started with a morning bite while having the sea anchor out. Here’s a sample of the tuna:aug 5-8 YFT
Tip of the day: When not getting bites it could be helpful to try a smaller hook, even using a non-ringed hook the same size. It could make a difference.
