The East Cape continues to enjoy an unprecedented
big tuna season. In years past the Jen Wren team
have always managed to land a handful of tuna over
a hundred pounds but it really wasn't all that
common. This year the big boys showed up in May
and have been giving anglers all they want ever
since. It is always exciting watching rod tips thump
from the tail beat of big tuna.
In May we were finding the big dogs with bottle
nosed dolphin and then the spotted and spinner
dolphin showed and joined the party. Now it seems
the dolphin have left the building and large schools
of the bruisers are camping out on the 88 fathom
spot.
The best bite has been in the afternoon when most
of the boat traffic leaves. Several days we have
witnessed the fish pop up as soon as the traffic
thins outs. This has made long days for us but has
also been very rewarding watching anglers have an
experience of a life time with these trophy sized
fish.
Right on cue blue marlin have shown on the scene.
This is exciting news with the East Cape Bisbee in
just over 3 weeks. Yesterday Mahatini brought in a
blue that scaled out at 503 pounds. Just a bit
further off shore and also near the shark buoys
quality sized dorado and smaller tuna have been
cooperating with anglers.
