So we had a perfect weather forecast, so we decided to head offshore last minute! We went on my friends small boat ,because it was near perfect weather conditions! So we arrived at the edge and set out a trolling spread. We searched and searched finally got a nice tuna on! Fish in the box for dinner! Re set the spread after a few more hours and no luck we pulled in the fishing gear! Just as we got all the gear put away to head in , we see tuna jumping in front of boat ! So we got the light tackel out and cast and jigged up fish for a few hours until we were just exhausted! Thats what its all about !
