Giles is off to Morocco Chasing Blue Fin Tuna Again - Sept 2022

Sounds like living to me.

Either your autofocus isn’t working, you had too much of what the guys partook at the party, or you’re flying…

The skies don’t look promising.  How are the seas and is that good fishing weather for tuna?

[Giles]

Often like that here. Probably better than pure blue skies, my mates had 20 hits yesterday I weather like this

[Giles]

From the balcony, best fishing just off the point on the left and in the bay around that corner…..

[Giles]

So, today was hard.  A lot of chasing birds (because under birds, there are flying fish, and behind the flying fish are the Tuna), I reckon I got no more than 100 casts in all day.  I ended up getting hit once (and dropping it).  Szymon had 7 hits and landed 2….

Do you fish morning and evening Giles or are there mid day feeding times too that you target?

wishing you better luck in the upcoming days.

We started at 13:30 today.  Hit a mass of busting fish after 5 minutes, but both Szymon and I had left our brains and brawn in the apartment, and fucked up the only chance we had at them. This is what busting Tuna look like, so it sort of messes with your brain…..If you look carefully, you will see 2 flying fish in the image

It was then pretty quiet for about 4 hours, with just the odd fish showing.

At about 18:00 it picked up, and it was in the next couple of hours we got all the hits.  Trouble is, when one of these fish is on, fishing basically stops for a minimum of 20 mins, whilst we deal with it.

The day before the fish were showing all day all over the place, guys never managed to get back for lunch.

Tomorrow we start at 09:30.

Basically, there is no rhyme nor reason to when they show (well, I am sure there is, but none of us has managed to work it out).  The more time we spend on the water, the more chances we will get.

This is what Szymon did in the lulls….

Not quite full english breakfast… is that enough for a day on the sea fighting with gigantic tunas?

[ROman]

HOLA  The egg looks like it was made for a fisherman with a fish mouth to the left of the yolk.

[louisbosco]

[Giles]

Hurrah…...

[goosehd]

Fantastic and on a top water popper.  What’s it like when they hit the lure?
