Had a great time fishing with Captain Josh of Outermost Angling, Raymond and Sami yesterday.
After hearing the results a few days ago, we just couldn't resist heading up North.
We left the dock at 3:30 and had the sun slowing peeping across the horizon when we reach tuna town.
We saw fish feeding on the surface and and started casting for them but were greeted by monster Blue fish they are so aggressive the tunas had to make way for them!
We moved to another pod and Sami came tight almost instantly on the Saltywater and Carpenter Gamma , this time a tuna for sure cause line were peeling out of the 18000SW.
"Get my belt!" he shouted and as we scrambled to have his belt on, he felt the fish doing its head shake and lost tension on the line...and the fish was free to swim again.
When Sami reeled in the line and inspected the lure, he realised he was using barbless hook that we normally use for GTs, lesson learn...
We could hear on the radio that everyone was catching fish or the ones that got away almost every minute and moved on to look for a fresh pod.
There were so many boats yesterday and it was tough to have a shot before others showed up but we kept going searching them.
Around 7:15 we saw a school of fish breaking the surface about a mile away and screamed at Josh "GO GO GO"
Got there, made the cast all 3 of us about 5 feet apart and BOOM i was tight!
It was a feisty fish for its size and whipped the fish in under 5 mins, he had no chance resisting the Hot's Keiko ocean lure or against the Hot's prototype Cape Cod Special BT-73XXXH.
Took some quick shots and it was back to fishing, saw many more pods but other rival boats got to them before us
The usual suspects includes Captain Dom, Captain Eric and Captain Jeff and many many more
It was fun listening to everyone shouting on their radio,
"I just had one swam right beside the boat!" or "@#$% this is the 5th fish i @#$%ing lost!!!" or "Oh we had three fish chasing the Siren and they are still chasing!!!"
It was hilarious
Can't wait to get time off to head up again, Cape Cod never cease to amaze me, even when fishing is slow (that is why we call it fishing and not catching) the beauty of the place, whales, sharks and just listening to fellow anglers yelling away on the radio makes up for the fishing.
Cape Cod's fishing is definitely getting better
