Tuna Help
 

hey guys i am new to the site and my buddy and i had a tuna trip planed for this weekend out of fourchon can any one point us in the right direction please like where and what on. thanks a lot :confused:

I can't help you there my friend but welcome to the site!!

Man, I sure wish I could help you with this but that is why I go fishing w/Capt Josh. The only thing I know about tuna fishing is that it's a blast and that's why I keep going back for more.

Behind shrimp boats in at least 300 ft of pretty water on cut bait

awesome thanks for the any advice you can give. we got the boat ( 32' pro line twin 250s) and all the gear just havent been after tuna yet and i want to go mash them. Any other offshore species help would be nice also for a back up plan

Watch the weather.....I think its gonna be nasty this weekend. Fouchon is tough sometimes. Run for deep water, stop at some shrimp boats on the way. Water must be blue!!! Pick a floater and head to it, circle it a few times to see what's under it. Try jigging and trolling it.........sometimes they will push the bait off the floater a good ways, so always look for nervous water. Set up a drift and freeline cut bait......

Bring something to "trade" if you hit a shrimp boat and get as much if thier cull as you can for chum. Pull up behind the shrimp boat and drop some cull and see what comes up.

Its gonna be rough as hell dont go....

That would be the smart thing to do.

yep
 

yeah there will be no shrimpers working if it is too rough and I sure as hell wouldnt want to go offshore on a day like that

yeah i just looked at the weather ouch. going to stay inside and trout fish sat around leeville. thanks everyone

smart man! good luck with the trout

I fixed it for ya Meaux.

lol yeah you right
