[Bunker]

Thanks guys, well between managing a tackle store, pumping out repairs through my rod shop, and of course fishin I get stretched pretty thin.  On top of that, building lures for my trips. Hopefully the weather won't scare us off too bad

[handyman]

yea sound like your busy allright...............good to hear from ya!!

[Bunker]

Case in point, I'm on a ten hour drive from jax fl to Fourchon La. I have a rod curing as we drive. I didn't sleep either because I had so much to pack. This trip better pay off!

here's a nice size black fin tuna caught on my 2 ounce popper
here's our total catch. all of which are on either bait or a deep jig but the large dolphin on the bottom left I also caught on a popper

[handyman]

WOW!!!! say are you heading to the fish market with those

[shark]

Question the salmon fishermen are starting to get small tuna in there nets its a very unusual catch where we live , but theres has been lots of talk of other tuna being caught not too far from where i live , these nets are about 300-400yds of the beach,

Now im not sure just how close to the shore they will come , but im up for trying for them with some poppers what colours work best,

At a guess there feeding on sandeel or mackeral both of which is a bit early for those in any great number.

any help please sharkintentoncatchingtuna
