That look on the tunas face says, “what are you planning to do with that Mayo, onions and celery behind you?”

Three of my European mates are in the Med, fishing for Blue Fin Tuna.  I could not go because we are not allowed to travel outside of UK.  They had 6 yesterday

Giles, Big Game fishing? April & may are the best times of the year for tuna and marlin.
Possible to know where are they? Simple curiosity;)

@Clint_D @Giles

Have either of you had your catch turned in to sashimi right on the boat?  I always thought that it would be great to catch one of the tuna’s and eat it fresh or even lightly grill it.

[Giles]

Yep, let me find pics…...

[Clint_D]

When we have enough tuna to feed the entire crew, we'll grill/sear fresh tuna steaks made to order.  We've made ceviche and smoked tuna before as well but I don't happen to have any pics.

I store my boat offsite for the winter and always get a little nervous firing it up for the first time of the year.
Ears on it fired up in one turn of the key.
Gassed up and tires inflated. Bass opener is 2 weeks Saturday. So ready to get the lines wet.

The Maldives, Dog Tooth Tuna….

Well, that looks tasty!

@Clint_D  I have never tried smoked tuna.  How is it?  Anything like smoked salmon?

[Clint_D]

I prefer the fresh grilled tuna steaks over smoked tuna.  The guy who makes it smokes the tuna and then adds some mayo and fresh cut bell peppers and onions and most people eat it on crackers.  Seems like a waste of good, fresh tuna to me.

The UK government has issued a list of countries that we can visit and not have to quarantine upon our return.  In the main, the countries on the list won't let us in (Australia, New Zealand…) or we can't get to (Ascension Island), or can't really be bothered visiting (The Falkland Islands), so the only one that is actually accessible and sensible is Portugal.

So yesterday we booked a small villa on the Algarve coast, where the Bass fishing (oh, and the walking Paula) is amazing.

Will be there in 4 weeks.

Some of the best fishing spots are extremely gnarly, so I have just put titanium carbide tipped studs into my wading boots.

Finally got the boat and the lines wet.
Lost 2 expensive lures to northern and had the largest bass spot the hook.

Man I missed fishing.

My nephew Saalim will be costarring in most of my fishing adventures. He can catch 1 fish in 6 hours and grin from ear to ear the entire time. The perfect fishing partner.

Good day out boys, well done…..

[Matty123]

been going out for Weakfish lately. they’ve been missing from our fishery for a long time. catching one used to be like seeing a unicorn. but they were back in numbers this year. here one of the many “unicorns” i caught. we were fishing g what is refered as a tombolo. it’s where waves meet after an island splits them. it leaves a bar that has deep water on both sides. we stand on the bar in waist deep moving water and fish either side or wherever the hell the wind allows.

[Giles]

Cool.  I am about to go out and fist a shingle spit.  I'm hoping to find some current around the end of it.  So far. zero Bass for me this year (the season appears to be about a month late)…

@Matty123 that is a great looking fish. Good eating? And what is the size of that specimen?
