The bluefin bite was confirmed on 11/29/10...a 77" 199lb. core weight hit the dock in Moorehead this past Monday...Lots of folks have been reporting whales, birds, and oil slicks.
Capt. Brant is planning on doing his bluefin seminars again this year with the action already heating up out there. I have been tying topshots and Steele has an end cap built with all the tackle you need on it. We have several options in combo rods and reels to fight these monsters as well.
This Saturday's weather looks to be fishable as of right now. NW 10kts. or less switching to the West seas 2 to 3....Go look for the bluefin early and then go get a wahoo! The wahoo were thick a couple of weeks ago out on the break. I would imagine not much has changed since this is usually where they stay for the winter months. It is going to be cold, but a giant bluefin will warm you up quick!
See ya on the water!
