Tuna in South Marsh Island??
 

Guys i am working out here in south marsh island 146, i was wondering if anyone knew if there could be any Tuna out here. We are in about 230 ft of Blue water, but i wouldve thought we were in too shallow of water to have tuna. At night when I go outside I see schools of fish that look like exactly like tuna, and i watch em chase the flying fish. I just didnt think they were out here.

Might be Bonito.
How big are they? That is pretty shallow for Tuna.

the ones that I am seeing are about 36" average

Bonita are in the Tuna family. Them big Bonita, but that is prolly what it is.
I have worked in 300 ft. of water, 105 miles South of Cameron and never seen
good eating Tuna out there.

yessir there can very well be yellowfin or blackfin there right now....acctually theres no doubt about it...this time of the year..if the waters blue its possible

they water is definitely blue.......i guess next time i go offshore i'm gonna have to nring my tuna pole.

usually you go to 500' of water for tuna but this time of the year they can be in the 300 range

How far south of the island are you?? I just got hungry for sushi!!!

i'll get the coordinates and post them later, But i think we are about 45-55 miles south of marsh island

If you see a Cape Horn out there in the next few days, come on down and have a beer!!

hell........I'll have my bags packed waiting...........i leave off of here Monday anyway......bring an extra fishing pole for me...haha

Monday?? what time?? you want a ride??

it'll probably be around 3 or 4 oclock............but the seas are supposed to be rough all next week..........we got 11 footer rollin thru right now

Ummmm.............you'll have to find another ride dude..........11 footers?? Uhhh yeah.........

thats what i thought............I got a crew boat coming for me anyways and they dock 3 minutes from my house in berwick so i cant complain
