Now
you're probably saying Dave you've lost it. How the heck can you be
talking tuna in July? We're fluke fishing and shark fishing. Tuna dude...
get off the pipe.
Listen up you gerbals, every summer I get hundreds of email from people
who are left at the dock. No boats to be found from Montauk to New Jersey.
I kid you not and God that has to bite to be you ... all that gear and
no where to use it. So very sad.
I see guys tying hundred pound test on their pitbull's collars and letting
them loose in the dog run on the poodles that they've duct taped a fin
to. Now this can turn into a real problem... The pitbull could get scratched!
Stop the insanity, book now! Get it over with, why have sleepless nights
on the lies that you have to make to your wife and bosses.
Here are some suggestions:
1. You have a root canal in August or September and you need two days
off. Done. The boss ain't going to argue with that.
2. Spread buying the gear over the next two months dummy. NEVER EVER
do it in one day, what are you nuts?! John, check his pulse for a heart
beat. Listen up, one giant American Express bill... the word is DEAD
man walking the wife is going to rip you to shreads. Buy hooks this
week... some fluoro carbon leader next week... a new rod a week after
that... get it dummy!
3. Now I know this is a hard one... suck it up. Take the wife out anywhere
she wants for a weekend. Build some browny points and yes, take the
kids to Great Adventure... saves on shrink bills later. Got it? Daddy
never took us anywhere.
Look you're ahead of the game, your golden. Now just get on the boat
and shut up. Here are the boats I pick from eight years of being a tuna
nut job. I'll travel anywhere, anytime for the reel to scream and explode.
Now if you live in Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan or (unfortunately)
New Jersey or even Staten Island... why oh why would you travel a hundred
miles to Montauk when you could be in Sheepshead Bay in thirty minutes.
That's right, dude thirty minutes. After a full day and night of fishing,
think... do I really want to ride for 3 hours through screaming traffic?
What are you nuts or something?!
The Brooklyn VI has been refitted with over 30 - 10 foot cushioned benches.
Not laying on a steel chair for the ride out and back. Central air condition
so you don't have to sweat to death on an August night. And now, it's
one of the only boats on Long Island selling real home cooked meals.
Thirty dollars for dinner and breakfast. Sure beats bringing all that
food in a cooler of sandwiches and whatever was in the fridge that day.
Plus let's talk speed. This is a fact. Faster to the grounds more time
for you to catch mister bullet. Plus if Bobby has to make a longer run
to a neighboring canyon he can. Other boats can't, they don't have the
speed to do it period.
Places to go...
The Brooklyn
VI
The
Sunshine
The Explorer
The Viking
Last year was one
of the best years yet. Bluefin over a hundred pounds. Yellow fins anywhere
from 60 lbs. to 200 lbs. The most I've seen period. Makos. It was a
banger year. And tuna fishing has been the thing for all you yahoos
out there. Once you're hooked up to a hundred pounds of pissd off silver
giant doing forty miles an hour in low gear, a smile will come across
your face, your heart will kick start the andrenalin blows through you.
It's real deep blue saltwater fishing at it's best. Most trips run from
$200-$250. That's chump change... just go to the dentist for a filling...
$350 and not even a date afterwards! Your car breaks down and it's cry
city bro. $1300 for what? They change the plugs, oil and window washing
fluid and still no date! Damn! I'm going to get tuna fishing now, before
the kids need braces!
