I thought I'd bring back an old idea for this season, and turn the bottom of the Laura-Jay into one big school of bait.

I think the fumes got to my head a little....

Here tuna, tuna.

Nice! It's amazing what guys will do to avoid going home for a few hours. Some drink....... some paint squid on the bottom of their boat.

haha thats great ps was out on stellawagon sunday, obviously no tuna yet and for the most part the cod were small but damn was there bait, the whole top of the bank was full of gannets whales and dolphins on sandeels, not much herring i could find but eels galore, should be enough to hold mid size tuna around if not the giants.

Thanks arden. With all that bait up there, we could be in good shape when the first Racers come through in June. With any luck, that bait will stay and keep the big guys around so we get some good early season shots. Definately going to have 130's ready to go.
I launch tomorrow, and then first cod trips start saturday.

I was trying to talk Jay into painting boobs on the bow (below the waterline of course), but better sense prevailed....

[arden]

Nice job on the boat Jay! It looks great.

Gracias - at least they don't scare the bass.
She draws nearly 4' and this past weekend I was trolling in 9' and we did well.

We'll see what the tuna think -- very soon.
