Ok boys, there she is. I have extended the tourney to 2 weeks long this year. No more " I did not have time to fish".

Last years winner was sean. Lets not let him do it again.

speaking of the devil anyone heard from him lately?

What's up fella's.. Most likely won't have a chance to give the contest the attention that it deserves this year as I am preparing/and anxiously awaiting the possibility of the fall run of Blue Fin Tuna (My new obsession

) in our offshore/inshore ledges. Hopefully after the moon on Monday the bite will pick up and I can finally put one in the boat! Ever since my 1st trip out, I have been over whelmed with the amount of life we have just off shore, flying fish, whales, porposes, dolphin, turtles, different species of bird and most import TUNA!!!!!! Good luck Guys!!!

C YENSEN · #5 09-10-2008, 01:31 PM

WHAT YOU DONT THINK ONE OF THOSE TUNA WILL WIN IT FOR YA

HOPE YOU RECONSIDER.

I've been going out in my boat, the 18' skiff

I have done 100 mile days and burned only about 25 gallons. Not Offshore like the Canyons, but fishing Cox's Ledge, Mudhole, Fingers ect.... Knock on wood, I have been lucky with weather/sea and only go if I have a "defenant' window.
Still scared to death of running towards blitzing whales.. as I had whales with in a few yards of the boat that just dwarfed me. Bite should start picking up so if you want to go, let me know.

I'm actually thinking of doing my 1st Tog trip tomorrow. Planning on running around for a bit and see if any bones/albies are showing up, Jig up some bass/blues then anchor up on a good early spot that usually gets over fished by Oct 1st and crush up some crabs...

Wow, I'm in!
I doubt I'll have a chance in hell at winning but who cares? It will be fun.
