Blue Fin Tuna - Fishing Report – September 15, 2009












We went out blue fine tuna fishing with Capt. Jim's "On Time" from Plymouth, MA. It was a warm and calm day. We saw a lot of bait, but we didn't see any bird activity. The fish activity near the top of the water was minimal. All of us tried jigging all day. No tuna was hooked, but we did catch 8 good sized striped bass between 20-30 lbs, some dog fish, and big blue fish.

Afterward, we tried using live bunker for bait. This proved to be successful as we were able to catch one big blue fin tuna, using spinning tackle. It was so hard to bring the fish in, and it took about 2 hours. Initially, I thought it was over 300 lbs, but the fish was hooked barely which was why it took so long.
