Left early Friday am with the intentions of Tuna Fishing on the other side. As usual NOAA was wrong and it got nasty. We went to the edge to see how rough it would be with the NW wind against the GS and the 4ft standing waves didn't look appealing to run in for the next 50miles. The edge had the craziest color change I've ever seen in Central FL.

The picture doesn't do it justice.


Fished the color change and put a 20lb dolphin in the boat within 5 minutes. We only had a dozen ballyhoo and boated 10 fish all gaffing size and two near 40lbs. Then it lay down and we started for the other side. 50 miles out the radar took a dive and we spent the next 45 minutes tinkering with no luck. Saw a bird fly by and followed him to birds feeding. The first pull by we hooked a little skipjack and on the third pass picked up the yellow fin. Then the birds went high and we decided to call it a day.

I was right.

I saw that crazy color change at the edge. Never seen it quite like that. It went from light blue to cobalt blue within 100 yards.You are right with NOAA lieing again. How could they post a 2-3 with obvious bouy data contradicting their forcast? It was supposed to be 2-3 ft but it was 4-5 easy. Hit the dolphin at 35 miles but didn't boat any 40's. You must have found the load. What were you draggin for the tuna when you found the birds?
Nice Fish!

I think cole is the real fish killer.Nice catch!

We don't drop the lures until we can tell the direction the fish are moving, that one struck an orange/black Braid little speedie. The radar going out sucked the big one, the conditions were perfect for tuna, a boat out of the Inlet got an 80, 70, two 60's and a few others, they were back at the dock at 2:00 PM.

do you go by the number of birds and which way they are traveling to get fish direction?

It can be as little as two or three birds(depending on how much money was spent on the radar) but yea, the bird movement will show the direction the fish are moving and you head them off to get the lures in position. It's taken us up to 15 minutes to get it right, but better that than spooking the fish and sending the birds off to look for another school.

Nope all I got are illegal ones!Can't take a joke huh fk.Just for your knowledge I have not poached a fish yet this season. But I see some june fish coming.If you can't catch a snook on the new or full moon in june then sell your fishing poles.

If you say so there sparky....maybe you didn't see that "big grin" at the end of my post. That would have been an indication of joking....maybe you should try it some time.

How far out were you when you saw the color change like that? Where you at the west wall of the gulfstream? and what was your water depth if you can remember? Thanks any info is appreciated.

Where you guys fishing the cones? or further out

Smack em'

It was a strange set up, the light blue water was on the east side of the cobalt blue normal GS water and it was pushing against the northwest wind. The satellite Gulf stream image the day before showed a large eddy forming on the East side of the stream, I don't know if that had anything to do with it but something was going on. The change started north east of the port in about 280' and extended offshore to around 500', we hit the end of it about 36 miles out.
