FB TEST Jun 22 (2.5 day) Offshore
Good morning,
We got into an area of fish last night around 12:30. There were some opportunities to catch some 25-50# fish on the lures. We scratched up a few handfulls until the sun came up. Now that the sun’s up, it is very hard to get a bite. There is still an incredible sign of bluefin around. Hopefully this afternoon we’ll catch a few more.
Captain Mike and the boys
Good evening,
We have been seeing this fish all day and we have managed to scrape up a decent sample. The ones we have landed are 25-100#, mostly in the 40-50# range. Pretty tough fishing still but it seems like it may be on the upswing.
We’re hanging out and hoping for a hit this evening.
