          Just using large topwater poppers attempting to mimic the flying fish.  Where we fish from is ~40' above the water line so we've got a pretty good vantage point and we can spot when the tunas are chasing flying fish and we'll try to place the popper in it's path.  I was using a 200mm Yo Zuri Bull Pop and the tuna just inhaled it, you can barely see the head of the popper in it's mouth in the pic.  Also, if I'm not mistaken, the tunas are heading towards warmer water to spawn so there's been plenty around the ship over the last month or so.

            That's a big fish to catch on stand up popping gear (I'm assuming you don't have a fighting chair welded to the platform  😃 😃 ). Congrats….

                    He caught, I didn't.  But in reality catching Bass on lures on days when you have to scrape the ice off your car before leaving the house is a triumph of hope over experience..

                        It's undoubtedly been said before, but should be repeated:

                        A bad day at fishing is better than a good day at work, any day !

                        Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

                          Caught 5 today. This was the average size about 15”. Got a nice 20” fish in the dark but no
                          Pics. Only a couple days of fishing left.

                          Maybe so. Maybe not

                                  I have just bought the wherewithal to target Perch.

                                  This is now my winter challenge….

                                          I think I am in so much shit.  Researching what I could do over the winter when lure fishing for Bass is a forlorn hope, I can across another Japanese invented system called BFS - Bait Finesse System. It is basically casting ultra-light lures (between 1 and 7 gm), with very specific rods and reels…...

                                          Will be targeting Perch, Pike and Zander over the winter (if I buy the required kit  😶 😶 😶 :-X)
