Rob Langridge:
Just a quick question Kil : Is the Ron Z lure the soft plastic in the picture of captain Dom with the 79'' bluefin..?

Kil Song:
Yes, that is Ron Z.
There are similar products in the market, but Ron Z excels for some reason.
I don't think any lure caught more bluefin than Ron Z in Cape Cod last year.

06-15 report

Tsurusaki san of FCL LABO, Okamura san and Higaki san arrived from Japan and we went directly to a Korean  restaurant in Fort Lee, NJ before heading for Cape Cod, MA.


We met Capt Jimmy at Bass River, Cape Cod at 3:30 am. We drove around for hours from Chatham, Golf Ball, Peaked Hill, SE Corner and back to Chatham in search of signs of tuna.
Finally we located them in deep water. 
Okamura san got tight first, but it pulled the hook after brief fight.


He used FCL LABO CSP-S180S


It didn't take long Okamura san got his second fish. There was volkswagen size boil behind Okamura san's lure. When he made another cast, he got tight again after another huge boil.
Tsurusaki san got hit at the same time, but it pulled the hook.
He used custom 8' Black Hole Cape Cod Special graphite and Saltiga.
















He got help, but Okamura san fought most of time.




















Thanks Jimmy for your extra effort to find tuna.

Patrick Cooper:
Hey Kil, I haven't seen that style of gimbal that they are using before.. do you have any info on it?

We headed for the area we left yesterday.
We saw Capt Dom fighting a tuna.
We checked the area, but it was pretty quite. We checked inshore first and went deeper water as there was no life inshore. Finally we found mother lode of whale and birds. There were only two commercial draggers. Capt Called other Capt and I could count at least a dozen of boats within 1 - 2 hours. :)  Jimmy is such a nice person that he always want to share info with other Capt.
After casting with prototype FCL LABO rod and FCL CSP150 Sinking, I decided to rest for a while until tuna showed up. Jimmy picked up my rod and he hooked up a tuna after a few cast !!!
We let Higaki san fight the tuna. He had his first bluefin fight yesterday while helping Okamura san. It looks he is totally different fisherman today fighting with confidence.
within 30 = 40 minutes he brought tuna next to the boat. The size looked similar to the tuna we landed yesterday. But tuna made another strong run and it pulled the hook.
We tried hard to get another hookup among so many whales without success.

see actions of the rod with 250 lb bluefin.














 


FCL CSP 150S used.
