Good anchor action on skinnies was a surprising change today that entertained anglers at the rail while waiting for the tuna to appear. As far as the tuna however, they apparently took the day off after a brief morning show that produced only a handful of decent fish. Every day is different and judging by the combined numbers on wahoo today it is safe to say that a new batch of fish has moved in. The tuna are still in the vicinity showing themselves several times throughout the day jumping and chasing flying fish. It is likely that a change in conditions, moon phase, water temperature, or any other change in the elements one can conjure up will transform them into biting fish. On all fishing voyages, no matter how good or experienced the crewmen, a big part of success is simply attributed to luck in timing. With all the elements for a successful voyage in place at the "bank", we will see how the guys on the upcoming voyages fare.

Speaking of luck, we are heading inside for a look around tomorrow, hoping to find a school tuna running around Clarion outside the closed six mile no sport fishing zone. This is something we have wanted to try for quite some time and the slow evening action at Hurricane provided the perfect reason to head in with a few hours of fishing time remaining to give it a try. We will keep everyone up to speed with tomorrow's report.
