Fall tunas are starting to show up

Before the storm tuna fishing wasnโ€™t that great so we decided to go mahi-mahi fishing which was unsuccessful then we went to the tuna grounds at the end of the day, the last hour or so. We had 7 blackfinโ€™s and 1 yellowfin tuna. Looks like some really good water is leaving Hatteras heading up our way. The fall tuna fishing has started. I feel like if we wouldโ€™ve spent the whole day we couldโ€™ve definitely loaded the boat.

The guyโ€™s that we had today were expecting to go offshore, but unfortunately, the weather wasnโ€™t cooperating so we decided to do an inshore trip. We got our limit of blue fish then on the way in we saw biggest blue fish blitz i have seen in a long time. 8-10 pounders all on top with birds diving for about 30-45 minutes, had to release 10 to 15 because we already had our limit. It was definitely better than staying out the dock
