After being stuck in the pea soup fog this morning for a couple hours, we went to a spot that looked good on the satellite shots and tried to stay away from the fleets. Got there and the water was good but not great. Kept trolling east and passed a weedline where we picked up 6 mahi to 7lbs. Kept going East and got 4 really small tuna around 10-12". The hit the 18" bird bars and the 36" machine bar surprisingly. We think they are baby yellowfin. Can anyone confirm?
Fun trip except for the last 20 miles when the wind and chop kicked up. Great day on the water!

Go to the link above and click on gallery - Did it look like the little guy in the gallery? We caught 7 of them on Thursday near the Bacardi - biggest was nearly 10lbs.

Need to see the tail and better angle of the peck fin and finlets. But looks like a blackfin. We had a bunch on Thursday night as well as a juvenile big eye.
