Thanks to you salty and your supply I can turn some pretty nice plugs without paying $50-$100 for the Japanese poppers.

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

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 (http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/254374_1744534101438_1481326151_31432558_7119626_n.jpg)
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

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
