the larger onesare about 9" long, 1.25" diam and weigh about 4.25 ounces. testing them on the floaters off Louisianna this week for 3 days straight!!! TUNA TIME
nice!
Thanks to you salty and your supply I can turn some pretty nice plugs without paying $50-$100 for the Japanese poppers.
Outstanding colours
say bunkie!!!! where the hell have you been.................i thought you were doing time ;)
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
yea sound like your busy allright...............good to hear from ya!! :)
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!
nice!!!!!! go for it
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)

WOW!!!! say are you heading to the fish market with those
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
sorry sharkie.....but im of no help in the catagory.............i cant even hook a striper let alone a tuna........heading to my local farm pond to catch some sunnys
Cheers Bruce
