11 May oregon Inlet




Well..first of all thank to Billable Dave, Otter and Don for going fishing with me on a sketchy forecast. I saw a window for some great weather sandwiched between two fronts and knew that the bite would be on. And it was on in a big way but just not for Still Think'n this week. We hit the inlet with the first charter boat heading out and there were a few bumps in the inlet but nothing bad. Once we crossed the bar the seas laid out, the wind was dead ass calm and the heavens opened up and it was the absolute best weather day fishing for me this year. No wind to speak of all day, beautiful swells and just great company.The Big eye bite definatley turned on yesterday and we were right in the middle of it, but we could not buy a Tuna bite yesterday to save our necks. We zigged, zagged, changed baits, changed speeds and did everything we could think of to get a fish to hit. All around us boats stopped fighting large Tuna....Thanks to C-note Connor for calling us and the entire OI fleet into an awesome weedline holding some really nice Mahi Mahi. We spent about 30 minutes just getting the skunk off the boat and a little meat in the boat and went back to banging it out trying to catch a Tuna....but yesterday was not to be our day. We all talked about it and there was nothing else we could have done, just wasn't our day...Final talley - 5 gaffer/hoister Mahiweather - absolutely beautifulGreat day on the water with great friends....going to be out there again next weekend so hopefully we get the voodoo off the boat !...and land some Tuna..
