Default Massive school of YF Tuna
We have a massive school of YF Tuna out here right now. They are jumping clear out the water. There are 1000's of them.
Water has been murky, but the winds have been calm for the past 4 days and a slight NNW wind came in last night. Water is clear clear, sun is shining and the Tuna are in a feeding frenzy. I never seen this many Tuna in one big school.
Just hope the NNW winds push the oil out of the marshes on the coast.

I have to get a work permit to use a camera outside the quarters.
We don't have explosion proof camera's out here.
We can't fish either.

Dangit! Can't fish out there due to company policies and can't fish too often when home due to Mother Nature's anti-Ray fishing policy! Lol

Pull the permit man! We want pics!

Obammer said we can't fish out here, no fish zone due to the oil spill.
Water is crystal clear. Sun is shining like a diamond.
Beautiful right now.

Man I went on my first and only tuna trip about a year ago. I never realized they jumped out the water that HIGH! It is an amazing sight to see those monster fish jump 10-20 feet out the water!

No oil. I see it on the helicopter. Closer to land.
The loop currents mostly keep it 10 miles or so to the North of us.
We do see a sheen now and then.
