Details: Black Fin Tuna
Great day on the water in 1-2 foot seas. Fishing between 280-330 fow and drifting pogie chunks for tuna. When one person would hook up, it was usually followed by ...more 1-2 more. After we caught a few fish, the sharks started circling the boat and we caught and released many of those including an 8-10 foot hammerhead. Snapper and gulf trout were caught in 180 fow next to rigs on pogie chunks.
